PVC compounder Concord Compounding Limited (CCL) has invested $4 million to add two new CP2500 Farrel Continuous Mixers.

These two systems will be installed at CCL’s plant in Corcord, Ontario, and will substantially enhance CCL’s manufacturing capabilities, process efficiencies and quality standards, according to Munish Jain, the company’s general manager. “With this new investment, CCL is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of our valued customers while continuing to solidify our position as an industry leader,” he states.

Prior to their purchase of the two new CP2500 machines, CCL visited Farrel Pomini’s US headquarters in Ansonia, Connecticut to run lab trials and prove-out the machines’ capabilities for compounding rigid PVC. Dr. Peng Ye, Farrel Pomini’s applications development manager, explains that the Farrel Continuous Mixer’s low process temperature, short residence time and efficient rotor shear make it an ideal system for processing temperature sensitive materials. “Our two companies have worked closely together to ensure the best mixing systems for CCL’s needs, to help them develop new products and improve their production capabilities,” he adds.

“We are delighted to partner with CCL, and congratulate them on their expansion,” notes Paul Lloyd, president of Farrel Pomini. “They are industry leaders in PVC compounding, and we are proud to be a part of their continued innovation and growth.”
