AGENDA

 

Solving sustainability challenges with the versatile FCM™, Farrel Continuous Mixer.

Dr. Peng Ye, Applications Development Manager, Farrel Corporation
While promoting the concept of sustainability and environmental consciousness in the industry, the versatile Farrel Continuous Mixer is well-suited to solving a diverse landscape of processing challenges contributing to an eco-friendlier polymer processing sector. 

Examples and case studies will showcase:

  • Biocomposite and biodegradable plastics compounding, including PHA
  • Mechanical recycling of PIR and PCR.
  • Chemical recycling end-of-life tires, generating and then compounding Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) for a completely closed loop system.  
  • Pyrolysis of polyolefin
  • Leveraging energy efficiency for profitability advantages
