Today, the compounding industry faces a wide range of demands. In addition to the production of large series, there is a growing demand for small batches, development samples, and customised special solutions. To best meet these requirements, PolyComp GmbH in Norderstedt near Hamburg has made a targeted investment in a modern, laboratory-scale extruder from FEDDEM GmbH & Co. KG.

This is the FED 26 MTS model. This system expands the compounder's existing portfolio with a highly efficient machine optimally tailored to the needs of start-ups, development departments, and all customers requiring small quantities.
Technical specifications of production plant (PA 19)
• Throughput: 30 to 70 kg/hour
• Speed range: up to 1200 rpm
• Process length: Standard 42 L/D
• Strand pelletising and screw conveyor integrated
• Intuitive touchscreen control
"Thanks to this advanced technology, we can produce small quantities flexibly, precisely, and economically for our customers. Whether samples, test batches, or specific customisations – high-quality compounds can be provided individually according to specifications, quickly and reliably," says Michael Kurtzke, Head of Sales at PolyComp.
A particular advantage of the new system, according to the company, is its optimal scalability: the recipes developed in the extruder can be efficiently transferred to production scale. This offers customers the assurance that their developments are realisable on a large scale right from the start.
The extruder is suitable for a wide range of applications – from standard compounds to demanding special recipes, individual additive combinations, or special fillers.
"This investment strengthens customers' innovative power and enables efficient, tailor-made development processes. Interested parties are invited to visit us at Kuteno in Bad Salzuflen at Stand 20 J29 to discuss the new possibilities and potential projects," says Michael Kurtzke.
