chen Anwendungen und Materialien ge-
hört der FiberXpert zu den Geräten, die
für jeden Kunden individuell konfiguriert
werden müssen. „Jetzt haben wir die
Möglichkeit, vier komplette Linien im
Technikum inklusive Befüllung aufzubau-
en“, berichtet Horst Vohwinkel. „Das
versetzt uns und unsere Kunden in die
Lage, auch für anspruchsvolles Schüttgut
geeignete Dosierprozesse aufzusetzen.“

➠ Brabender Technologie GmbH & Co. KG
➠ Davis-Standard, LLC
Cranfield Water Sciences Institute
(CWSI), an internationally recognized
center of excellence in wastewater treat-
ment technologies for research, educati-
on, training and consultancy. The Davis-
Standard Euro Blue has been a solid per-
former for Warden due to its energy effi-
cient design, high specifications and fast
delivery.
Warden has 60 and 90mm Euro Blue
models, but the machine is also available
in 50mm, 75mm and 115mm sizes. The
biological filter media manufactured on
these extruders is feasible for both indu-
stry and municipal wastewater treatment
applications requiring organic removal,
nitrification and denitrification. Warden’s
products are lightweight, compact, dura-
ble and corrosion resistant, and designed
to eliminate the clogging and puddling
n The formidable growth of Warden
Plastics’ Biomedia product range is evi-
denced by the company’s rising reputati-
on in the global wastewater treatment
sector. Warden, based in Luton, Bedford-
shire, United Kingdom, recently added
two Davis-Standard Euro Blue® extruders
to its equipment line-up for producing
random filter media products for waste-
water processes. The extruders are part
of a significant investment by Warden
following a surge in demand by major
water companies in the U.K. and
throughout Europe. This brings the com-
pany’s Davis-Standard extruder total to
five with future investments on the hori-
zon.
According to Warden Plastics’ Managing
Director Mark Barrett, “We are focused
on high volumes, efficiency and quality
for a large range of polypropylene pro-
ducts for the wastewater treatment mar-
ket. Davis-Standard’s Euro Blue extruders
perform exceptionally well in meeting
our delivery and process targets, while
also allowing us to run a cost-effective
operation. We have a very good working
relationship with Davis-Standard, and
appreciate their responsiveness in ad-
dressing our requirements.”
Warden runs a customized Biomedia
operation with a variety of patented de-
signs engineered to reduce energy con-
sumption, meet environmental goals and
reduce costs. The company’s products
are made using recycled and virgin poly-
propylene, which is essential due to su-
perior bacterial adhesion properties
when compared to competing products
made with HDPE. Warden is diversified
into several product areas, but launched
its Biomedia brand in the 1980s. The
company has an ongoing research part-
nership with Warwick University and
Two more Extruders added
associated with gravel, slag and clinker
filter beds. In addition to wastewater
treatment facilities, Warden’s Biomedia
products are also used for agricultural
and aquatic applications. Most of the
company’s products are sold in the U.K.
and Europe, but are also reaching custo-
mers in North and South America, Mexi-
co and Turkey.
