FEDDEM – Specialist for Extrusion and Compounding Technology
FEDDEM GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 2009 in Sinzig as the continuation of the “Construction of Extrusion and Compounding Systems” division of Decroupet Maschinenbau and can look back on more than 30 years of expertise in the development, design and construction of co-rotating twin-screw extruders. The core product is the FED-MT/MTS series with screw diameters from 18 to 82 mm and product-dependent throughputs from 4 kg to up to 4 tonnes per hour. In addition to machine building, the company offers the planning and worldwide delivery of turnkey complete compounding systems including peripherals according to the ICX® standard, systems for LFT pultrusion, and process technology such as kneading-block-free screws, strand dies, add-on modules and cleaning units. All compounding systems are manufactured and assembled in Sinzig; an in-house technical centre enables trials under production conditions. A comprehensive service with spare parts, maintenance, overhaul, remote service and a 24h emergency hotline completes the portfolio. FEDDEM is part of the Hamburg-based Feddersen Group.
