FEDDEM at Fakuma 2011

Think Extrusion – Gentle processing for optimum compound quality

After a successful trade fair debut at K-2010, the Feddersen Group extrusion and compounding line manufacturer FEDDEM is also appearing at Fakuma in Friedrichshafen, Germany, for the first time with its own booth at Booth 6312 in Hall A6.

On the market since late 2009, the youngest member of the Hamburg-based corporate group already has quite a few things to offer. Constructed in the same way as the model on display at the trade fair, a twin-screw extruder FED 52 MTS (Multi Task Standard) is available for customer trials in the machine builder’s newly established pilot station in Niederzissen in Germany’s Rheinland-Pfalz region. With a processing length of 32 L/D, this extruder is ideally suitable for manufacturing high-grade technical plastics and masterbatches.

“We have set up a state-of-the-art pilot station over an area of about 300 m² in a workshop leased from our sister company AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, where we are able to operate our extruder in a layout based on real-world applications under production conditions, including cutting-edge peripheral equipment,” explains Dieter Gross, Managing Director at FEDDEM GmbH & Co. KG.

With its kneading block-free screw configuration, the FED MTS model range particularly stands out due to a gentle compounding process. Different installation sizes between 37 and 94 mm are currently on offer along with a product-dependent operational capacity between 40kg and 4t. Further model ranges are in the pipeline.

The company is not only focussing on the sale of machines from its standard range, but also offers tailor-made solutions as well as project planning and supply of turnkey lines, including peripheral equipment, worldwide. FEDDEM’s range of services is made complete with replacement parts supply, used machine reconditioning and on-site customer service.

The Fakuma booth of FEDDEM GmbH & Co. KG is located in Hall A6, booth 6312
