Understanding Plastics Materials
This course will benefit any personnel that's involved with material handling and describes the effects that moisture can have on molded part properties during processing. Polymer classification and what occurs during processing for each type is also explained.
Material Drying Technology for Scientific Molders
Material handlers need to know how different types of polymers are best dried and prepared for reliable processing. These courses show participants how proper plastics material handling and drying is critical to produce a consistent product.
Single Screw Extrusion Series
Designed to benefit anyone working in a single-screw extrusion production environment, these programs use animation and actual production footage to demonstrate complex concepts. Important safety precautions are stressed throughout these training programs.
Twin Screw Extrusion Series
Designed to benefit anyone working in a twin-screw extrusion production environment, these programs use animation and actual production footage to demonstrate complex concepts. Important safety precautions are stressed throughout these training programs.
Math for Extruders
This two-part online training program was created for all personnel within the extrusion industry who would like to fine-tune or expand their math skills. The wide range of topics covered apply directly to the everyday operations that take place at any extrusion facility.
