Spherical Balls (aka Frac Balls) from Davies Molding

June 21st, 2011

Davies Molding Frac Ball InfoDavies Molding of Carol Stream IL is now producing Frac-Balls for use in the Energy business.

Small spheres designed to seal perforations that are accepting the most fluid, thereby diverting reservoir treatments to other portions of the target zone. Ball sealers are incorporated into the treatment fluid and pumped with it. The effectiveness of this type of mechanical diversion to keep the balls in place is strongly dependent on the differential pressure across the perforation and the geometry of the perforation itself. (Courtesy of Schlumberger)

Davies has been molding round shapes and custom shapes using various materials in both Compression Molding, Injection Molding and Thermoset molding. Materials are typically specified by the end user, but include Phenolics and PEEk/Torlon materials. Sizes include 7/8″, 1.0″, 1.25″, and up to 3″ balls. Specific Gravity, Material specs, Domestic production all mean that your Frac Ball needs can be met by Davies Molding. Contact us or Davies directly MPelnar@Daviesmolding.com for more information.

Kitting, Re-Manufacturing and Distribution Management

August 25th, 2010

Most of you know Technology Components, Zak & Associates and Jadcor, now all part of Technology Components as a Fastener supplier. There are many services we offer to our customers everyday. Here are some simple descriptives of all we do for our customers.

  • Kitting
  • - This is the process of preparing an order for shipment. Kitting can involve light assembly, or the picking and packing of order components and collateral materials 
  • into a “kit,” or a complete set of items ready to ship.
  • Re-Manufacturing
  • - There is a fine line between repetitive re-manufacturing without loss of identity and product overhaul. The critical difference is that re-manufacturing 
  • is a complete process and the final product has a like-new appearance 
  • Distribution Management

     - Shipment of finished products to selected single or multiple destinations.
