On completion of the course the delegates will be able to:

  • Demonstrate an understanding of current safety legislation for the extrusion process and the use of safe working practices
  • Describe the construction and operation on an extrusion machine, stating the function of component parts and process parameters
  • Demonstrate an understanding of forming die, sizing tool and calibration equipment designs
  • Describe the structure and properties of plastics materials and their interactions with the extruder
  • Identify relevant control and quality monitoring equipment and describe its usage
  • Set up and run an extrusion line from a zero base situation
  • Undertake machine condition setting in a logical and systematic manner
  • Recognise common product faults and introduce appropriate rectification adjustments
  • Simulate a full product trial and maximise product quality and output rates
  • Shut-down an extrusion line in a safe and efficient manner

Individual candidate knowledge levels are assessed at the end of the training programme and a management report is provided to help identify further training requirements or career progression possibilities.
