• Build Year: 1985 (Mixer)

• Included Brands: Farrel, Conair, Rotex

Product Description

The Farrel Continuous Compounding Line is a high-capacity polymer and elastomer processing system engineered for consistent and scalable production. This complete line includes a Farrel Model 6 FCM-UM Continuous Mixer, a 10” Dump Extruder with Hydraulic Ram Stuffer, Farrel 65A Gear Reducer with 300 HP Motor, and downstream strand cutting via a 30 HP Conair Model 3516 Strand Pelletizer. Additional components such as a Rotex screen, strand die, and heat control panel round out this robust and industrial-grade solution.

This system is ideal for continuous mixing and pelletizing of plastics, elastomers, masterbatches, and additives, and is commonly used in rubber and polymer processing plants.
