Extrusion International 5-2017

PREVIEW 48 Extrusion International 5/2017 FEDDEM: ICX ® technology expanded to include LFT process In developing their own pultrusion technology, FEDDEM has overhauled and optimised all relevant line com- ponents, including the clamping de- vice tentioner, impregnating tool die and take-off unit. “Factors that were particularly important to us dur- ing this development project were the product quality of the LFT com- pounds, a cost effective production process and a high degree of flexibil- ity”, explains Dieter Groß, Managing Director of FEDDEM. FEDDEM used the same ethos to de- velop their LFT technology as they did to develop their ICX ® (Innova- tive Compounding and Extrusion) technology, which was developed in partnership with AKRO-PLASTIC to supply complete compounding lines. The company’s focus has al- ways been to provide benefits for its customers: Dieter Groß sums up the concept with these words: “High- quality compound production flex- ibility and short response times, all at a competitive price. FEDDEM sup- plies the same “Made in Germany” system technology worldwide, en- abling its customers to manufacture consistently high product quality at all locations. At Fakuma 2017 the company will also be exhibiting its FED 52 MTS extruder for manufacturing high- quality carbon fibre reinforced plas- tic compounds. Like all machines in the MTS model series, the extruder is customisable and versatile, and is therefore suitable for a broad range of applications and a variety of com- pounding jobs. For every compounding application, whether it be engineering plastic compounds, masterbatches or bio- compounds, FEDDEM has just the right machine in its product range. FEDDEM´s standard MTS range of- fers sizes between 26 and 82 mm and a product-dependent throughput range between 40 kg/h and 4 t/h, extruders with a larger Do/Di and a screw diameter up to 135 mm are also available to manufacture high- filled plastic compounds. FEDDEM´s customer focus philoso- phy is completed with rapid spare parts supply, used machine recondi- tioning and on-site customer consul- tations. FEDDEM GmbH & Co.

KG from Sinzig/Germany will debut a line concept for manufacturing LFT compounds based on pultru- sion technology. The ICX ® technol- ogy concept presented at K 2016 has been expanded to include LFT tech- nology enabling global production of high-quality plastic compounds
