Value-Added Services Aim to Boost Performance, Cost-Efficiency


March 18, 2009 - (Pawcatuck, Conn.)--Getting the most out of your equipment investment is always important, especially in a down economy. That is why Davis-Standard, LLC will place an emphasis on its support services during NPE. Davis-Standard's aftermarket and technical departments aim to provide extrusion and converting customers with cost-effective support for the entire lifecycle of their equipment. This includes options for increasing productivity, reducing waste, improving product quality and adding new capabilities. Equipment upgrades, replacement parts, field service, custom engineering, research and technical services, and a 24/7 customer service hotline are all available.

Davis-Standard offers equipment evaluations to help customers maximize productivity. After analysis, technicians make recommendations that address changing requirements such as new materials, higher energy efficiencies, greater throughputs, etc. Screw and barrel measurement programs are a widely used service as well as gearbox evaluations. Davis-Standard can also make recommendations for feedscrew replacement, which often give processors a noticeable improvement in productivity.

In the event of a breakdown, Davis-Standard supports customers with a 24/7 emergency hotline and a global field service staff. The company recently introduced an online parts store and maintains an in-stock program for key components available for immediate delivery. In-stock parts can be shipped within one day. Both Extrusion and Converting Systems offer replacement parts backed by a warranty.

Davis-Standard's research and technical centers enable customers to test new processes, develop new materials, and produce materials for field-testing and market introduction. Competitive facility rates are supported by a staff of experienced engineers and equipment operators who handle requests across all process areas. In addition,
Davis-Standard offers classes and customized in-plant seminars covering a range of topics.
