International Training Program (TechnoBiz)

Extrusion Die Design

21 January 2009, Century Park Hotel, Bangkok
The training program presents an intensive introduction to die design for plastic extrusion. The objectives of this program are: to teach the basic principles of die design to demonstrate the application of these principles to the design of the main types of extrusion dies: tubing and pipe dies, wire coating dies, sheet and flat film dies, profile dies, spiral mandrel dies, and coextrusion dies. What the attendees will learn: the flow properties that determine how the material behaves in the die and when it leaves the die the various types of extrusion dies used for different products materials and coating used for extrusion dies simple calculations for die design how computer programs can be used to analyze and design extrusion dies the advantages and disadvantages of various die geometries, e.g. the conventional pipe die versus the spiral mandrel pipe die various die flow problems and how to avoid them

Course Instructor Dr. Chris Rauwendaal

Dr. Chris Rauwendaal - President of Rauwendaal Extrusion Engineering, Inc. since 1990; previously with American Enka Company and Raychem Corporation. Chris received a M.Sc. from Delft University and a Doctorate in Polymer Processing from Twente University in the Netherlands. Chris is a well-known author, lecturer, entrepreneur, and consultant in the field of extrusion. He holds numerous patents and has written more than 200 articles and seven books related to extrusion, mixing, injection molding, and statistical process control. Chris has developed video training courses and interactive training programs on extrusion, injection molding, and SPC. He has been involved in technical meetings of the SPE and PPS for many years as a speaker as well as a technical program chairman. Chris is a Fellow of the Society of Plastics Engineers. Chris is the developer of the CRD and VIP mixing technology that utilizes strong elongational flow to improve mixing in extrusion and molding. CRD mixing devices are successfully used in many extrusion operations. VIP mixers were recently introduced to the plastics processing industry and are gaining rapid acceptance. Work is ongoing to extend this technology to a new generation of extruders and injection molding machines. The most recent development is the HHT (high heat transfer) extruder screw developed to improve cooling in foam tandem extrusion operations.
