Synopsis

Worldwide, extrusion lines successfully process more plastics into prod­ ucts than other processes by consuming at least 36 wt% of all plastics. They continue to find practical solutions for new products and/ or prob­ lems to meet new product performances. This book, with its practical industry reviews, is a unique handbook (the first of its kind) that covers over a thousand of the potential combina­ tions of basic variables or problems with solutions that can occur from up-stream to down-stream equipment. Guidelines are provided for maxi­ mizing processing efficiency and operating at the lowest possible cost. It has been prepared with an awareness that its usefulness will depend greatly upon its simplicity and provision of essential information. It should be useful to: 0) those already extruding and desiring to obtain additional information for their line and/ or prOVide a means of reviewing other lines that can provide their line with operating improvements; (2) those processing or extruding plastics for the first time; (3) those consider­ ing going into another extrusion process; (4) those desiring additional information about employing the design of various products more effi­ ciently, with respect to both performance and cost; (5) those contemplat­ ing entering the business of extrusion; (6) those in new venture groups, materials development, and/ or market development; (7) those in disci­ plines such as nonplastics manufacturers, engineers, designers, quality control, financial, and management; and (8) those requiring a textbook on extrusion in trade schools and high schools or colleges.

About this title

Synopsis

This book serves as a unique handbook that answers over a thousand of the potential combinations of basic variables or problems that can occur from up-stream to down-stream equipment. Guidelines are provided for maximizing processing efficiency and operating at the lowest possible cost. It explains in a clear, concise and simple format the various extrusion processes that produce different commodity and engineered plastic products. "Extruding Plastics" features practical approach that provides, for the novice and experienced personnel, a methodology on extrusion advancements and trends. This leads to a streamlining of processing lines by anticipating problems, which causes them, how to eliminate them, and/or how to take corrective action.The content and index are arranged to provide a natural progression from simple to complex situations. It correlates materials, equipment, process controls, product requirements, and people.

Readers who will find this book invaluable include: those already extruding and desiring to obtain additional information for their line; those processing or extruding plastics for the first time; those considering going into another extrusion process; those obtaining information about employing the design of various products more efficiently performance-wise and cost-wise; those in new venture groups, materials development, and/or market development; those in disciplines such as non-plastics manufacturers, engineers, designers, quality control, financial, and management; and those requiring a comprehensive introduction on extrusion.
