Description:
This webinar provides a broad overview of extruder performance measurements. The course will provide practical methods for measuring parameters on an extruder that characterize current performance and allow benchmarking for process improvement. The methods are easily applied with normal extruder control systems, standard shop tools, and typical computer software. Techniques for analyzing and displaying measured data will be provided. The program is intended for anyone who works directly with extruders and extruded products.

Description:
This webinar provides a broad overview of extruder performance measurements. The course will provide practical methods for measuring parameters on an extruder that characterize current performance and allow benchmarking for process improvement. The methods are easily applied with normal extruder control systems, standard shop tools, and typical computer software. Techniques for analyzing and displaying measured data will be provided. The program is intended for anyone who works directly with extruders and extruded products.
