Extrusion Process Handbook
This unique reference work continues the PDL tradition of providing both reference and data essential to the daily work of engineers, scientists, and technicians involved in extrusion processes.
It is a practical guide to extrusion bringing together both the equipment and materials processing aspects, and provides basic and advanced information (for reference and training) on thermoplastics processing in the extruder.
The book will be of interest to those working in the extrusion industry needing a reference that deals with all the day-to-day activities in processing plastics, including troubleshooting.
It provides a clear, concise and thorough discussion of the equipment and materials foundations of extrusion processes, suitable for both operators and engineers.
The comprehensive yet practical treatment of the advanced topics of auxiliary equipment, troubleshooting, and coextrusion, make this book suitable for operators, engineers, and managers. This is not available in any other published works on extrusion processes.
Each of the seven sections are written as self-contained modules, reducing cross reference searching for important information. The first two sections contain critical coverage of safety issues.
