For small scale testing and development.
The CPeX® Laboratory Compact Processor utilizes the unique and proven FARREL POMINI continuous mixing technology in a size suitable for testing and development. The CPeX® design allows compounders to conduct laboratory-scale product development trials, extend product application portfolios, expedite time to market and reduce costs.
The CPeX® is designed for developing new and improved formulations of polymer and masterbatch compounds in laboratories of production facilities as well as conducting academic research and training in universities.
CPeX® Key Features Include:
- 10 – 30 Kg/hour production capacity
- Accepts full-size pellet as well as standard feed materials
- Supports both CP Standard and CPXL rotor configurations on one platform
- Fully integrated wiring and piping that is “connect and go” and suitable for any industrial voltage
- Fully functioning orifice for performance as flexible as production machines
