The versatile, energy efficient FCM^™, Farrel Continuous Mixer has been optimized to process recycled materials from both post-consumer and municipal solid waste.

Mechanical Recycling

The FARREL POMINI mechanical recycling system is a complete solution integrating several enhancements to the continuous mixing technology platform. It addresses numerous processing challenges for diverse recycled feedstocks including irregularly sized, shaped, and low bulk density materials, excessive moisture, volatiles and contaminants.

A patent-pending Grooved Mixer Feed Section improves feeding efficiency by increasing the drag flow interaction with the rotor feed flights.

Specially designed rotor feed flight options optimize infeed of the material.

For maximum wear resistance while processing highly corrosive materials, proprietary hard surface coatings are applied to all material contact surfaces including, rotors, mixing chamber, extruder feed screw, and extruder barrel.

• A FARREL POMINI designed Continuous Vent Stuffer allows air, moisture, and volatiles to escape while keeping solids within the mixer.
• A Vacuum Vent Capture System collects and filters powders and volatiles that escape through the mixer vent.
• A FARREL POMINI Slide Plate Screenchanger continuous filters contaminants from the melt.

For the final stage, the system connects to a variety of pelletizers, including underwater, dry face, strand, and strip die.
