When starting up and shutting down extrusion production, it's important to follow established procedures. Specific knowledge of the influence on various process parameters is necessary for optimal throughput and product quality. In the Extrusion 2 course, in addition to the above, there is also a lot of focus on quality systems and statistics.
- Learn the key properties of using additives and fillers
- Gain insight into which parameters can change certain quality aspects
- Avoid unnecessary production downtime
About the Extrusion 2 Course
The Extrusion 2 course is an advanced course that delves deeper into all parameters and their influence on the processing process. Numerous practical examples are provided. The goal is to teach you the consequences of your actions and to develop a correct sequence of working.
