Fourteenth Blow Molder Added „ Longtime Davis-Standard customer, EagleManufacturing, re- cently commissioned its fourteenth Davis-Standard blow mold- ing machine to support industrial safety markets. The 40-pound dual accumulator head machine, installed in May, is primarily being used for molding large storage drums made of chemical resistant high-density polyethylene. EagleManufacturing is one of the leading sources of industrial storage, handling and secu- rity products in the world. This includes fi re prevention safety equipment for hazardous materials, environmental protection spill containment devices, and specialized storage products. Dis- posal cans, safety cabinets, columnprotectors, outdoor ashtrays, parking stops, spill containment pallets and rack guards are all part of EagleManufacturing’s extensive product portfolio. “We have been a Davis-Standard customer for over 30 years,” said Dave Harvey, Eagle Manufacturing’s Vice President of Operations. “Our highly skilled craftsmen and operators have grown to trust Davis-Standard for reliability and great equip- ment performance. This latest blowmolder has already been ex- cellent with even faster cycle times than our existing machines. One of the best improvements fromprevious models is the cool- ing design with forced air blowers on the barrel. We’re able to attain consistent process temperature control without dealing with the maintenance of a closed-loop system.” As with prior installations, Davis-Standard collaborated with Eagle Manufacturing’s team to engineer machine speci fi ca- tions according to their processes and product range. Custom feedscrew designs, part consistency, responsive parison con- trol, cycle-to-cycle precision and ef fi cient wall distribution have been instrumental in helping the company deliver high-quality products with excellent value to their customers. In addition to supplying Eagle Manufacturing with new equipment over the years, Davis-Standard has retro fi tted used non Davis-Standard machines to improve performance. Quality control upgrades, spiral core tube retro fi ts, head reconditioning and replacement screws have added internal ef fi ciencies, which are essential to Eagle Manufacturing’s one-stop operation, which takes prod- ucts from concept to design, to testing andmarket-ready. “Our business is built around three principles; integrity, innova- tion and customer service,” addedHarvey. “Our product design, methods and processes, and getting products to market in a timely manner have been foundational to our growth and suc- cess. We are grateful to have a partner like Davis-Standard that supplies the machinery technology we need to provide market leadership and superior products.” Davis-Standard, LLC www.davis-standard.com Eagle Manufacturing www.eagle-mfg.com GaryByers on the left andRoccoSalatinoon the rightwith the SE16540D BlowMoldingSystem UlrichBartel, newly appointedPresident of Coperion, andMarkus Parzer, President of Coperion’s PolymerDivision (Photo: Coperion)
