ColVisTec is proud to be part of the Process Engineering School at KraussMaffei. We will give a lecture on the subject of inline process monitoring using spectroscopic methods.

Objectives

• Understand compounding processes on twin-screw extruders.
• Grasp the design of a twin-screw extruder in a material-specific context.
• Recognize opportunities for process optimization and identify sources of error.
• Apply materials science approaches to formulation and process engineering.
• Comprehend material testing in theory and practice, enabling well-founded assessments of product quality.

Topics

• Machine Technology: Covering the entire process from raw material handling to granulate filling, including selection, designs, and concepts.
• Plastics Technology: Exploring the physics and chemistry of plastics, additives and fillers, recipe formulation, and material properties.
• Process Engineering: Delving into extruder design, establishing correlations between process and measured variables, screw design, and scale-up methodologies.
