CDS offers complete downstream equipment and machinery lines for start-ups, processors who want to commercialize a new product, or R&D organizations interested in running a laboratory line. (Set-up assistance is available.)

Dual Downstream Equipment

Your First Line of Defense…….Against Sagging Profits

Rising material costs, cheap overseas imports, and an increasingly competitive market are dampening the profits of many plastic extruders. To compensate, some are resorting to lower-cost alternatives in materials and machinery, while others are seeking more efficient and profitable processing techniques. CDS’s dual downstream equipment lines enable high-output extruders to maximize the processing efficiency of their applications while still meeting the quality and delivery demands of their customers.

CDS's dual downstream equipment lines enable processors to maximize their extruder throughput, run two applications simultaneously, and economize space on their plant floor. The dual downstream equipment lines are ideally suited for high-output extrusion applications such as window lineals, fencing panels, and siding. CDS's dual calibration machines units are available from 4 to 15 meters in length (inclusive). Below is an example of a dual line for processing PVC window frames. Download brochure.

• Run two identical or unique applications on one platform
• Configure each line independently
• Double your extruder throughput
• Economize space on your plant floor
• Maximize your investment return on capital equipment

Pipe CDS's line of downstream machinery can be engineered to process extruded and co-extruded pipes of various materials and sizes at different output rates. Below is an example of a post-extruder line for large-diameter pipe.

Decking CDS has responded to the needs of extruders and polymer producers in the emerging wood-plastic composite market by offering machinery for decking boards and other wood-plastic composite profiles. Featured below is a dual downstream equipment line for processing solid WPC decking boards.

Automotive CDS's line of downstream equipment can be engineered to process a variety of extruded rubber profiles for the automotive industry. Applications include gaskets, bumpers, and seals. The machine model below was designed to process TPV sealants.

Rod and Slab CDS offers downstream extrusion machinery for heavy, dense industrial applications such as rods and slabs (thick sheet). Below is an example of a line comprising of an extruder, a puller, a cross-cut saw, an annealing table, and collection unit
