What will I learn?
This course offers a practical guide to thermoplastic properties, resin choices, and datasheet reading, followed by hands-on blow moulding and extrusion methods for packaging. Learners master parameter settings, defect prevention, data-driven troubleshooting, and evaluations of costs, output, and eco-friendliness to optimise one resin for various uses.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Interpret polymer datasheets swiftly to identify melt temperatures, MFI, and processing limits.
- Optimise blow moulding by adjusting parison, mould cooling, and wall thickness effectively.
- Fine-tune film extrusion settings for die, screw, and cooling to ensure stable gauge and width.
- Diagnose defects rapidly by connecting gels, haze, warpage, and leaks to root causes.
- Reduce costs and energy use by comparing extrusion against blow moulding for efficient production.
