USED DAVIS STANDARD 60IN60TPIH

Used Equipment Facts About This Machine
Manufacturer
Davis-Standard is a globally recognized manufacturer of extrusion systems serving the plastics, polymer, packaging, pipe, profile, sheet, wire and cable, and recycling industries. Davis-Standard extruders are known for their rugged construction, advanced process control, and long service life in demanding continuous production environments.

Description
The Used Davis-Standard 6" Single Screw Extruder, Model 60IN60TPIH, is a high-performance industrial extrusion system designed for high-output thermoplastic processing applications. Built in 1994, this machine features an extended 34:1 L/D ratio and a vented, water-cooled barrel, making it well suited for processing moisture-sensitive materials, recycled plastics, and applications requiring devolatilization.
The barrel incorporates six water-cooling zones, with the vent located approximately 130 inches from the center of the feed throat. The vent is currently plugged but can be utilized for vacuum venting or devolatilization applications if required. The cooling package includes a 1/2 HP recirculation pump, heat exchanger, and integrated water reservoir measuring approximately 32" × 24" × 12".
Power is supplied through a 400 HP WEG AC motor operating at 1,790 RPM, coupled to an ABB AC variable frequency drive for precise speed control. The extruder utilizes a Davis-Standard Model 60IN60TPIH gearbox with a 17.2:1 reduction ratio, rated for 526 HP with a 1.5 service factor, providing dependable torque for demanding extrusion applications.
Temperature control is managed through six Solo 4896 barrel zone controllers and seven Omron E5EC die zone controllers. The operator station includes a speed pod displaying screw RPM, motor load percentage, and pressure transducer readings for comprehensive process monitoring.
Complete with a hopper, 42-inch centerline height, and an approximate footprint of 25 feet long by 8 feet wide, this Davis-Standard extruder is an excellent choice for manufacturers seeking a proven, high-capacity extrusion platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of the 34:1 L/D ratio?
The extended 34:1 L/D ratio provides increased residence time for improved melting, mixing, homogenization, and processing consistency compared to shorter extruders.
Is the barrel vented?
Yes. The extruder features a vented barrel located approximately 130 inches from the center of the feed throat. The vent is currently plugged but can be configured for devolatilization or vacuum venting applications.
What drive system is installed?
The machine is powered by a 400 HP WEG AC motor with an ABB AC variable frequency drive, providing accurate speed control and energy-efficient operation.
How is barrel cooling accomplished?
The barrel incorporates six water-cooling zones supplied by a 1/2 HP recirculation pump, heat exchanger, and integrated water reservoir.
What operator instrumentation is included?
The operator station includes a speed pod displaying screw RPM, motor load percentage, and pressure transducer readings for process monitoring.
Can Aaron Equipment assist with shipping and logistics?
Yes. Aaron Equipment offers complete domestic and international shipping, export documentation, freight coordination, heavy-haul transportation, and logistics services for extrusion equipment and complete plastics processing lines.
