What will I learn?
This course provides a practical overview of thermoplastic behaviour, resin selection, and datasheet interpretation, followed by hands-on blow moulding and extrusion methods for packaging. Learners master setting key parameters, defect prevention, troubleshooting with process data, and evaluating costs, productivity, and sustainability to optimise one resin for diverse applications.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Interpret polymer datasheets to quickly extract melt temperatures, MFI, and processing limits.
- Optimise blow moulding by tuning parison, mould cooling, and wall thickness in practice.
- Fine-tune film extrusion by setting die, screw, and cooling for stable gauge and width.
- Diagnose defects swiftly by linking gels, haze, warpage, and leaks to root causes.
- Reduce costs and energy by comparing extrusion versus blow moulding for efficient, sustainable output.
