What You'll Learn
Polymer Rheology
The seminar begins with an introduction to polymer rheology and the most important material properties/characteristics that affect the extrusion process. Participants will gain valuable knowledge on how to select materials for their process or how specific material properties are considered during the design of the equipment.
Polymer Degradation
Design Criteria: Once polymer rheology is understood, the various design criteria will be explained along with recommended values or limits to avoid problems..
Single Screw Extruders
Since the extruder is responsible for the quality of the melt that is delivered to the process, a significant amount of the seminar deals with understanding the extruder and various screw designs. The relationship between polymer rheology and screw design will be explained.
Extrusion Dies
present the various types of extrusion dies from Flat, to Annular to Profile. We will cover flow balancing coextrusion versions while providing some specific design criteria for each.
