Presentación
In this era of rising energy costs and intense global competition, compounding and masterbatch companies must prioritize efficiency, quality, and cost reduction to remain competitive.
This webinar will offer practical strategies to optimize twin-screw extrusion processes—critical for any type of compounds and masterbatches—by improving screw design, mixing efficiency, and feeding strategies among others. We’ll also explore how simulation tools can help test and optimize processes, reducing the need for costly trial-and-error. Learn how to streamline your compounding operations, enhance product consistency, and lower costs in this ever-evolving market.
