Engineering, management & operation of extrusion plants
Overview |
Aim |
This 3-day course focus on the practical aspects of engineering, management and operation of extrusion plants. It covers the principles of extrusion, the design of extrusion processes, the formulation of extruded products and how to properly maintain and operate an extrusion plant. Principles learned will be demonstrated using the CFAM pilot plant facility.
The program is relevant to the production of all types of extruded products - e.g. expanded snacks and breakfast cereals, pastas and third generation snack pellets, pet foods and aqua feeds. The course applies to both single and twin screw extrusion technology. We take the approach of presenting the theory of how the extrusion process works - but with a practical focus, relating it to typical extrusion processes This understanding not only assists the planning and engineering of extrusion lines, and the formulation of extruded products, but provides a basis for managers and operators in the running of extrusion plants. |
The aim of this course is to give trainees practical knowledge on engineering, management and operation of extrusion plants.
ObjectivesThe objectives are the following:
