The basic techniques for optimizing the capacity of side feeders is presented in this webinar. While various aspects of side feeding have been described in previous webinars, all of these concepts are assembled into a single presentation for a deep dive on this topic: side feeding position (L/D), proper venting and extruder screw design. Tips for maximizing side feeding efficiency and a troubleshooting guide are also included in the webinar presentation.

The presentation will provide an overview of basic extruder instrumentation, alarms and interlocks and will cover control system architecture, PLC platforms (e.g. AB, Siemens), communication protocols, recipe management and data acquisition. Integration of related upstream and downstream auxiliary equipment will also be covered in this informative presentation.

This webinar will explain the procedures for conducting wear measurements on extruder screws and barrels which should be an integral part of your preventive maintenance program. Techniques and tooling are described for obtaining an accurate picture of the condition of your machine, critical for proactive replacement of components prior to failure. A review of wear tolerances will also be presented. This is a must-see webinar for all maintenance personnel involved with extrusion.
