Presenters:
Course presenter is Dennis Forte. Dennis is highly experienced in extrusion having worked with a variety of companies and extruded products, including breakfast cereals and snacks, pet foods and aquafeeds, pasta, and confectionery.
Program Highlights:
The program reviews the importance of die conductance in the whole extrusion process, not only in shaping the product. The die design process, along with the calculation of die conductance, is explained. Issues such as product curvature are also considered. Co-extrusion dies, cutter and knife design, and the effect of die-plate wear, are also considered.
