Overview:
FoodStream is now offering this three day short course in Singapore. Over the past six years, this course has been highly successful and presented in Australia, Bangkok, and New Zealand. Participants in the Bangkok courses have travelled from at least ten countries with almost all from private companies. Owing to the success of these courses, we have now decided to offer this course in Singapore.
The course covers the principles of extrusion, the design of extrusion processes, and the formulation of extruded products. The program is relevant to the production of all types of extruded products - including expanded snacks and breakfast cereals, pastas and third generation snack pellets, pet foods and aqua-feeds.
Please note: All presentations are in English.
When: To be advised.
Where: To be advised.

Presenters: Key presenters at the course are Dennis Forte and Gordon Young, both highly experienced in extrusion through their work with a variety of companies and extruded products.
Program Highlights: The course covers topics from the basics of extruders and their configuration, through what is happening chemically and physically inside the extruder barrel, to an understanding of extruder dies and instability. The fundamentals of peripheral systems (raw materials pre-processing and preconditioning) are also covered. Planned presentations include: - Principles of extruder configurations (single and twin screw) - Role of rheology in extrusion - Die types and effects, die design - Extrusion chemistry - Recipe design - Product texture development - Causes and effects of extruder instability - Single screw extruders vs twin screw extruders - Screw, barrel, and die-plate wear, extruder maintenance
The fundamentals of peripheral systems (e.g. raw materials pre-processing, preconditioning, product drying) are also covered.
Who should attend? Engineers, technologists, and scientists involved in the extrusion of products such as expanded snacks and breakfast cereals, pet foods and aquaculture feeds.
