Which screw designs work on which raw materials? How is a motor calculated? And when is a multi-channel-die required? The webinar guides the audience through the process of selecting proper sheet ...

A radar-based system that precisely monitors the quality of plastic sheet extrusion is under development by Germany’s SKZ Plastics Center and two partner companies. The non-destructive and non-contact ...

Increasingly smaller medical devices require tighter tolerances that make extrusion process control more difficult. Photos courtesy of TEEL PLASTICS INC. As medical devices get smaller and tolerances ...

Aluminum is particularly well suited to the extrusion process due to its excellent plasticity at extrusion temperature. Only a minor degree of work-hardening takes place at this temperature and ...

A presentation at the Leistritz Pharmaceutical-Nutraceutical Extrusion Seminar explained how simulation tools benefit the development process. Twin-screw extruders (TSE) are used in multiple ...
