Posted by Staff | Feb 22, 2023

Leistritz Extrusion has announced that it will host a Bioplastics Twin-Screw Extrusion Workshop on May 16 and 17, 2023, in Branchburg, NJ. Classroom sessions conducted by Leistritz staff as well as guest speakers from industry and academe will be supplemented by interactive extrusion system demonstrations, as well as screw assembly, equipment cleaning, and maintenance procedures at the Leistritz Process Laboratory.

Bioplastic and natural-fiber formulations are heat and shear sensitive, and often require multi-stage venting. On the first day, topics tailored specifically to processing bioplastics will be discussed. This will be followed on day two with hands-on demonstrations at the Leistritz lab illustrating some of those issues. The topics include:

Classroom sessions will be held at the Hyatt House in Branchburg, and the extrusion demos will take place at the nearby Leistritz lab. Transportation is provided to and from the demonstrations.

Cost for the Bioplastics Twin-Screw Extrusion Workshop is $800 if you register by April 15 and $880 thereafter. The fee covers handouts, lunches, and dinner the first night.
