Davis-Standard adds die rebuild and cleaning services

Davis-Standard has added blown film die rebuild and cleaning services at its UK facility in Brierley Hill.

The new services, commencing August 1, will apply to all blown film dies from Davis-Standard product lines and heritage brands, including Gloucester Engineering

The rebuild services will be located within a dedicated area of the Davis-Standard facility, and staffed by technicians with decades of experience in extrusion and blown film processes. Support is available both on- and off-site to ensure customer needs are addressed in a timely manner. The new services, commencing August 1, will apply to all blown film dies from Davis-Standard product lines and heritage brands, including Gloucester Engineering. Non Davis-Standard brands will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

This regional capability further supports Davis-Standard’s large installed base of blown film equipment throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

‘Our service team is highly knowledgeable in the cleaning of blown film dies as well as the disassembly and assembly of various key components,’ said Mark Woodgate, managing director of Davis-Standard Ltd. ‘Our vigorous component inspection program ensures customers are immediately aware of any parts that may require refinishing or replacement. This can often result in great cost savings when compared to purchasing a new die. Having a die professionally rebuilt by the original equipment manufacturer using certified replacement parts also brings a level of assurance that others cannot provide.’
