ATM Replacement Parts and Components
ATM replacement parts and components are our specialties. We have decades of experience as an award winning OEM for the largest manufacturer of ATM’s in the World, providing them with a full range of components and change parts.
While several of the rollers shown in the photo are exclusive to certain customers, they illustrate the types of ATM parts we manufacture.
Our ATM parts and components are in thousands of ATM machines around the World, delivering superior, trouble-free performance in the most demanding applications. Our ATM parts include our “bullet-proof” Kevlar® reinforced transport belts, rollers, and wheels that perform flawlessly, day in, day out, in every kind of climatic condition one can imagine.
Many of our ATM replacement parts utilize our unique proprietary millable polyurethane rubber, Millathane®, the properties of which are legendary. These include superior abrasion resistance, low-temperature flexibility, and high resilience.
DST is an ISO 9001-certified facility. Our staff is trained in Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma and other cutting edge manufacturing methods to ensure that the highest quality parts are made right the first time, on time, to your specifications.
If you need a reliable supplier of quality ATM replacement parts and components that you can count on to deliver on-time performance, look no further than DST’s Engineered Polymers Division.
Cast Urethane Parts
Cast urethane parts are a specialty of DST. We can custom design and manufacture virtually any type of commercial or industrial cast urethane part to near net shape profiles. Cast urethane offers a longer service life compared to metal or plastic. The hardness of cast urethane parts varies from very soft to rock-like. Some types of cast urethane can be approved for FDA food contact applications. Cast urethane parts are generally lightweight, highly abrasion and impact resistant can vary in the coefficient of friction, and have excellent oil, ozone, and radiation resistance.
Cast urethane parts are often used in oil and gas exploration, printing, textiles, construction, agriculture, mining, packaging, automotive, material handling, food, and beverage as well as currency and ATM applications.
We offer you the option of low-cost, low-pressure tooling as well as limited productions runs. If you’re in a hurry, our rapid prototyping 3D printer is at your service to expedite your job. We can develop custom formulations to enhance the physical properties required by your application utilizing our decades of experience in polymer chemistry.
DST has a dedicated cast urethane work center designed specifically to enhance our automated cast urethane production equipment, utilizing the very latest lean manufacturing and Six Sigma techniques. Call us today and put our cast urethane team to work for you!
Rubber Extrusions
We can extrude virtually any custom profile for your rubber extrusion application. We have worked on rubber extrusion projects for a wide variety of industries including poultry, furniture, door and window manufacturing (glazing), bottling, canning and bakery applications.
Our Engineered Polymers Division (EPD) operates a Davis Standard Cold Feed Thermoset Extruder. This state-of-the-art rubber extruder produces custom profiles for the food, beverage and airport baggage handling industries, just to name a few applications. It is highly accurate and maintains tight tolerances, producing superior extruded products, on-time and within specifications.
This extruder is capable of dramatically increased production runs. Thanks to this increased capacity, we now stock a wide variety of extruded rubber parts like rubber conveyor grippers, ready for same-day or next-day shipment. Of course, we are always ready to take on your custom rubber extrusion projects. Call us today and let us quote your next project.
Rubber Rollers
Rubber rollers are a specialty of DST. When combined with our exclusive Millathane® millable polyurethane, our rubber rollers are, quite simply, the best in the industry. Rubber rollers are often used in ATM machines and dispensers for transport and separator functions. Other common uses of rubber rollers include point-of-sale (POS) printers, printer rollers, receipt printers, printing press rollers, labeling rollers, newspaper/magazine printing rollers, and various paper path applications.
DST’s Millathane® millable polyurethane is known the World over for its superior ability to balance coefficient of friction and abrasion resistance in critical applications. In addition to Millathane®, we offer a wide range of elastomers for virtually any rubber roller application, such as EPDM, nitrile, neoprene, Hypalon®, epichlorohydrin and polyisoprene.
