A Futura II combined de-airing extrusion unit comprising an MDVG 920f
de-airing double-shaft mixer and a Futura II E 56a/50 extruder
HNDLE offers a complete line of combined de-airing
extrusion units for a broad range of applications.
Our units are of modular design, comprising extruders
and de-airing mixers of various size. In designing the
Futura II extruder, HNDLE systematically implemented
the latest in mechanical- and process-engineering know-
how pertinent to extrusion technology and the resultant
products boast accordingly favorable price-performance
ratios and customer-benefit orientation.
Futura II is available with barrel diameters of 200 to
750 mm, maximum extrusion pressures ranging from 20
to 50 bar and volumetric throughputs of 1.9 to 60 m/h.

Design
Modularized extruder
Load- and function-appropriately engineered crucial
components, e.g., gearing, coupling, thrust bearing,
barrel and auger, all as part of an overall modular
concept.
Modularity
We incorporate the latest products of modern control
technology and motive-power engineering. Continuous
operating-data acquisition, energy conservation,
equipment monitoring and protection, plus defined
control response set new standards and blaze new trails
for future shaping systems by HNDLE.
Large dimensioned gears, maximized mechanical
efficiency and easy installation + removal these are the
crucial characteristics of the gearing technology that
HNDLE and its partners have developed for their new-
generation extruders.
Long service life and low maintenance requirement
coupled with maximum loading capacity!

and lower energy consumption.
Separate paddle drives
In any extruder used for producing thin-walled holloware
or tiles, dry particles and sizable surface-dry agglo-
merations are bound to increase the rejects rate.
HNDLE, though, applies special coatings as a
standard feature, effectively preventing material buildup
and, hence, dry agglomerations.
Extruder body
HNDLE's threadless wear-part fixation technique yields
unparalleled "vacuum tightness" for the en-tire system
plus quick & easy maintenance.
No dry particles, no false-air infiltration and no
vacuum-related lamination

PRODUCT INFORMATION DE-AIRING EXTRUSION UNITS FUTURA II
The geometry of all augers, including the front-end
auger, is always in balance with product and compound,
hence guaranteeing flawless homogenization, plastifi-
cation and de-airing in combination with high throughput.
Optimal auger geometry
Design
Diverse wear-prevention concepts all tailored to the
respective product performance specification
No matter what the load, the auger remains perfectly
centered on the shaft thanks to its triangular polygon.
This arrangement guarantees symmetrical power flow
into the shaft. The self-centering Hirth coupling ensures
optimal positioning of the front-end auger with respect to
the rear-end auger (at 7 increments).
Fewer extrusion textures produced, and ideal
shaping conditions in pressure head and die thanks
to uniform advance of the clay column out of the front
auger.

Hirth coupling

Barrel, auger and body can all accommodate supple-
mentary pairs of counter knives.
Depending on the extrusion compound, the envisaged
product and the targeted throughput rate, made-to-
measure solutions are possible. Very sticky clay, for
example, can be adequately de-aired and readied for
untextured extrusion.
Variable combinable augers and
counter knives
A de-airing mixer upstream of the extruder serves as a
connecting component between body prepara-tion and
the actual shaping process. Together, they form a multi-
functional system for attending to the material's mixing,
kneading, shredding, de-airing, wetting, steam-heating,
etc. The homogeneity of the body, as a prerequisite for
good shaping, is decisively determined by the de-airing
mixer.

PRODUCT INFORMATION DE-AIRING EXTRUSION UNITS FUTURA II
Function
Some 2/3 of the overall homogenization achieved in a
de-airing double-shaft mixer takes place in the closed
compression section. High pressure in the compression
zone is essential to excellent vacuum, just as infinitely
adjustable mixing paddles are essential for perfect
mixing. The more homogeneous the compound, the
better (and more economical) the extrusion.
A large-volume de-airing chamber facilitates main-
tenance and helps achieve better vacuum conditions.
HNDLE has put all these scientific insights into practice
by extending the compression zones of our de-airing
double-shaft mixers and enlarging the volume of their
de-airing chambers.

energy-saving feeding of the "open auger" in the

Possible combinations
Our extruders combine with horizontal de-airing double-
shaft mixers and vertical primary pug mills. The following
table illustrates the most commonly employed combina-
tions.
Vertical single-shaft mixers are unbeatable for feeding
tile, facade-element and panel extruders.
Maximum accessibility, simple cleaning and state-of-
