Double reduction gearbox Pressure lubrication on gearbox Merritt MX Series This versatile extruder is engineered for high throughput rates and lower melt temperatures for a range of applications. EX T R U S I O N L I N E C O M P O N EN T S Extrusion lines can be built with a wide range of extruders, payoffs and tension brakes, take-ups and auxiliary equipment including cooling troughs, capstans and accumulator systems. Laboratory equipment, customized feedscrews, and control systems are also available. C O M P L ET E EX T R U S I O N S YS T EM S We supply complete wire and cable extrusion systems for communication, construction/building, telephone, and automotive wire, high temperature wire, plug, optical fiber and specialty wire. Capabilities include communication cable systems, automotive cable systems, power cable systems, construction cable systems, fiber optic systems and coaxial cable systems. All wire and cable extrusion systems are available with Clipper take-ups, payoffs and spoolers, customized feedscrews and patented micro-processor based control systems. W I R E H A N D L I N G EQ U I P M EN T We offer high performance wire handling equipment including capstans, payoffs and take-ups, and linear caterpillars. Capstans Belt wrap capstans are available from 6 to 84 inches (150 to 2,133mm) in diameter, dual wheel multi-pass configurations from 12 to 32 inches (300 to 813mm) in diameter, with lengths to 40 feet (12 meters) in dry and wet arrangements. Linear capstans (caterpillar) from 14 to 80 inches. Payoffs and Take-Ups Davis-Standard, LLC offers a complete range of payoff and take-up systems designed to handle products as small as 40 awg soft copper and as large as jacketed cable to 6 inches in diameter. The payoff product offering includes flyer type, single and dual, in sizes from 24-inch to 50-inch with accompanying lift trucks and tension brake assemblies. Single reel payoffs, both motorized and drag type, and single reel take-ups in various configurations including roll-thru, retracting arm shaftless and shaft type, with ranges from 12-inch to 120-inch flange diameters with weight capacities to 40,000 pounds. For precise control, a complete line of oscillating designs is available. Dual reel fully automatic take-ups range in size from 6 to 50 inch and include both shaft types for speeds to 5,000 fpm and shaftless designs running at speeds to 9,500 fpm. Single reel, dual reel, flyer, and portal pay-offs and take-ups for a wide range of applications. Options are available for portal, cantilevered arm, and floor traversing. Specialty Equipment Equipment is available for fiber optic cable lines, CATV cable lines, high temperature wire lines, and silicone rubber lines. Auxiliary Equipment Auxiliary equipment including cooling troughs, capstans, semi-automatic and fully-automatic spoolers, caterpillars, wire pre-heaters, and curing systems can be supplied based on application.

C O N T I N U O U S V U L C A N I Z A T I O N ( C V ) S YS T EM S Radiant Heat Gas Cure System This system provides a fast and economical dry cure for thermoset insulations, particularly XLPE. By utilizing nitrogen as the curing media, the presence of moisture is eliminated during the critical curing process. A patented by-product removal system that removes contaminates and increases the efficiency of the radiant curing system by circulating the nitrogen continuously is optionally available. Cure system components are manufactured to quality specifications for pressure vessels and fabricated stainless steel.

Complete system includes an in-tube, no-contact sag control, variable water level and pump controls, primary seal and lead wire seals. The heated tube is divided into separately controlled heat zones, which are independently adjustable to 842F (450C). Heating elements are calrods uniquely designed for extended life. Each zone is equipped with blowers to circulate air through the chamber around the calrods for fast cooling during shutdown. System can be utilized as a gas/water system for low and medium voltage, gas/gas system for high and extra-high voltage, and as a steam/super-steam system for rubber products. Can be retrofitted to an existing continuous vulcanization line. Steam Cure System These systems are best suited for minimum investment cost, and for extrusion compounds not formulated for high temperature curing. A variety of configurations of steam CV processing are available. Steam boilers provide fast pressure rise in the cure tube at start-up. Steam cure systems provide broad flexibility in operation. Water level controls permit accurate control of steam-to-water ratios for optimum cure conditions on every cable construction. This equipment processes rubber, XLPE, and regular thermoplastic polyethylene without changing a major piece of equipment. Power cables from utility through transmission voltage may be produced over a very broad speed range.
