The Society
of Plastics Engineers proudly announces its new, updated and expanded
video series, the SPE Twin Screw Extrusion Video Program. The two
videos, shot on location, are enhanced with computer animations
that provide a look inside the extruder and graphically show what
is happening "behind the scenes" in the extrusion process.
The SPE Handbook
on Twin Screw Extrusion is included, and is designed to be used
in conjunction with the SPE Twin Screw Video Program for the training
and education of extrusion operators and production floor personnel.
It also serves as an excellent introductory volume for new company
hires, sales professionals and others associated with single screw
extrusion operations. The material is presented in a straightforward,
easy to understand format and offers a practical approach to understanding
the subject matter. In addition to providing supplemental detail,
the handbook contains thought-provoking review questions at the
end of each chapter.

Chapter 3: The Extrusion Process
Chapter 4: Preventive and Corrective Actions

in Plastics examination.
Paul Andersen,
Director Process Technology Coperion, was consultant for the video
series. Paul also serves on the SPE Extrusion Division Board of
Directors and is active in many SPE activities. He teamed with writer
Scott Bogue to develop this fundamental, practical series.
SPE appreciates
the support given by industry, particularly NewCastle Industries
and Ametek for allowing SPE to film at their facilities. Special
mention to the Pennsylvania College of Technology for creating animations,
members of SPE's Extrusion Division for their expertise and Conair
for their assistance.
