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 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.

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.

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.

The 5S System is a critical component of Lean Manufacturing used by successful manufacturing facilities worldwide. It consists of 5 simple and concise steps – Sorting, Straightening, Sweeping, Standardizing, and Sustaining – that can help your facility reduce clutter and waste and, ultimately, increase efficiency and productivity.

Routsis Training’s globally recognized Professional Certification demonstrates a broad-spectrum understanding of the extrusion industry.

In order to attain certification, candidates must have a working knowledge of extrusion safety, machinery, processing, materials, and quality — and demonstrate a solid understanding of current industry best practices.
