Products engineered for abrasive and corrosive compounds

Steel products group

fitted in nearly all Davis-Standard machines as a standard item. Similar to DS1000, the DS2000 alloy provides additional wear resistance, being able to accommodate a higher degree of filler or reinforcement in the material to be processed and also a moderate degree of corrosion resistance. DS6000 is nickel-based like DS8000, and is designed for use in corrosive wear environments when processing compounds such as those with flame retardants, fluoropolymers and high- temperature resins. The product line is manufactured by D-S Brookes Limited, Davis-Standard’s Extrusion Systems Europe subsidiary in the UK.

The Imextal Group has been present in the steel market since 1984, marketing of all types of stainless steel and other steel products. The group consists of the companies Imextal, Corteinox and Perfiles Barcelona, through which a range of activities are carried out: cross cutting and flattening, shearing, disk cutting, longitudinal cutting, but mainly profile forming, and the manufacture of tubing. Since 2002, the group has also had five manufacturing lines for round, square and rectangular tubing in TIG welded stainless steel, 100% eddy current tested, with a ground or polished finish. Standards include DIN 17455-17457, ASTM A554 and AFNOR NFA 49647. The Imextal Group supplies its products to a diversity of industries, including the food, white goods, stamping, construction, automotive, electrical resistances, domestic water pipes and profile forming sectors. The group has experience in exporting stainless steel materials, primarily in Europe, adapting its products and services to the markets’ needs.

A range of bi-metallic barrel lining products is available from Davis- Standard, LLC, including products to support applications with highly abrasive and corrosive properties. The DS8000 wear-resistant barrel lining material is a nickel-based alloy with a high percentage of tungsten carbide particles suspended within its matrix. This corrosion and abrasive wear- resistant lining is suitable for those processes requiring highly filled or reinforced compounds, high- temperature resins, silicones, vinyl resins, polyethylenes, LLDPE, HMWPE and blends. The company also offers three other optionswithin the product line: DS1000, DS2000 and DS6000. DS1000 is an iron-based barrel lining for general purpose wear environments and is

Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave with half a million inhabitants, situated at the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania. Given the relatively large number of inhabitants it is under- standable that the lack of a water treatment plant is a concern to the public, as well as to surrounding countries. Over 250,000m 3 of wastewater flows into the Baltic Sea each day, polluting seawater and the Polish and Lithuanian coasts. Construction work for a wastewater treatment plant had been planned in the 1970s. However, investments were ceased after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the project was brought to a halt.
