Rigid PVC Processing Made More Efficient And Safer With Farrel Pomini® Solution
February 10, 2025
The FCM™, Farrel Continuous Mixer and newly designed Dry Face Pelletizer combine to eliminate traditional finishing steps
Ansonia, CT (Jan. 29, 2025) … FARREL POMINI®, the leader in continuous compounding systems for the polymer processing industry, is offering a cost-effective and safe method for processing virgin or recycled rigid PVC that eliminates traditional finishing requirements with its newly designed Dry Face Pelletizer (DFP).
The process begins by compounding the rigid PVC with the Farrel Continuous Mixer (FCM™) to a hot-feed single-screw extruder (a Compact Processor). The PVC cools as it passes through the extruder and moves on to the proprietary DFP that minimizes die pressure and potential temperature increases while efficiently cutting pellets. After pelletizing, an air transfer system completes the cooling process along with pellet classifying and dust and fine particle removal.
This cost-effective concept eliminates the need for finishing the rigid PVC with a two-roll mill, water bath and dicer – allowing for a smaller capital investment and equipment footprint as well as expedited return on investment and enhanced safety. The compact DFP is easy to operate and can be fully integrated into the user-friendly FARREL POMINI® SYNERGY® Control System. The entire line can be completely automated with minimal operator involvement.
• Adjustable mixing intensity achieved by changing rotor speed and orifice position.
• Excellent temperature control throughout the mixing chamber, rotors and extruder barrel.
