Extrusion Guide Book
There are a number of respected publications on the market devoted to the extrusion process but many focus on the theory, rather than the reality, which makes them impractical for operators or too academic for educational and training purposes. By contrast, our Extrusion Guide Book (EGB) is intended to provide practical down to earth answers to questions posed by operators regarding the extrusion of thermoplastic materials. The various topics will cover the basics, “How to extrude?” (covering the most common materials such as PVC, PE, PU, PET), FAQs, troubleshooting guides and web links.The most basic and common extruder for the extrusion of thermoplastic materials is the single screw extruder. As the screw can be considered as the heart of the single screw extruder, it will be our first topic.
