Scrap rate too high? 

Production rate too low? 

Product development time too long? 

Too many extrusion problems?

Many extrusion problems can be avoided by doing certain things correctly in the engineering or purchasing phase. 

 

Join us for this one-of-a-kind seminar and workshop that will help you reduce / eliminate extrusion problems and increase profits, by learning the important extrusion fundamentals from our team of experts. 

How Some Companies Have Benefited

From Attending Our Seminar and using our CAE tools:


An automotive profile supplier went from making 146 dies per year to making 497 dies per year


A PVC Sheet manufacturer eliminated degradation that used to cost the company over $500,000 per year.


A cast-film- manufacturer solved a complex co-extrusion problem that they had been struggling with for 6 months.


A medical tubing manufacturer eliminated degradation that they previously observed on four lines and improved process stability.


An entry-level engineer became an expert profile die designer and tuner in less than one year.

Immediate Benefits:


  • Learn how to:
  • Solve or avoid numerous extrusion problems
  • Increase production rates
  • Reduce / eliminate degradation and reduce scrap rates
  • Select or design the right screw for the job
  • Reduce die development time
  • Make the extrusion line "less sensitive" to processing conditions and lot-to-lot variation
  • Distinguish between ad "good and a "poor" screw / die design
  • Determine and monitor extruder performance and efficiency
  • Purchase / design the right equipment for your material and process


  • Learn how to design and optimize the flow channels of the following screws, mixers and dies typically used in extrusion and co-extrusion
  • Conventional screws
  • Barrier screws
  • Fluted mixers
  • Flat dies
  • Cross-head / side fed dies
  • Spiral dies
  • Profile dies


  • Optional Half Day Simulation Training using VEL™ Material Properties module with the Extrusion Calculator.

Learn how to Solve or Avoid These Extrusion Problems:

-Degradation

-Low production rate

-Poor melt quality

-Unmelts

-Gels

-Low output

-Screw wear / damage

-Screw surging

-Die drool

-Overheating of melt

Testimonials From Prior Participants

"This course was so useful for my job. These are the types of courses we need more of. This was money well spent."


"Found the course very useful, liked that it was very application related (I.e. extruder, dies, screw) and that there were many real world (practical) examples given. Presentation slides were excellent. Windowed extruder slides very useful."


"Very informative course, probably the most in depth course directly related to the extrusion process and the tooling related to that process. I would highly recommend this course to any technical staff working in the extrusion field, and am recommending this to our colleagues from other facilities."


"The element of die design was very thorough, and I will now use the term "Die Design" with the respect it deserves. Excellent course."

 

"Very informative and in-depth seminar by subject matter experts with both theoretical and practical knowledge of polymer extrusion."

 

"All of the information was very practical and the information and knowledge that was given regarding processing of plastics outside of my company's industry was very useful and could be applied to our industry. The resources that are provided are fantastic, and the presenters are very knowledgeable. This was definitely the most practical conference I have ever attended."

 

"Great presenters, presentation, and information. Most importantly, a great time."

 

"Thank you so much for sharing your know and expertise with us, this seminar we help for a better understanding of the many extrusion problems".

 

"After this seminar, this was the first time I really ever understood what we do all day!"


"I was very pleased with the hospitality given by the Hotel and Compuplast. I felt they went above and beyond on what they had to do, but very much appreciated. Thank you."
