Course: Modeling and Optimization of Plastic Packaging Manufacturing ProcessesLarry Mucha, PET Technology Training


Atlanta, GA, USA – May 15 - 17 2007 -- 3 days

 

Instructor – Lawrence S. Mucha


Objectives – Develop a basis for the application of Designed Experiments (DOE) to the most common challenges in plastics molding processes including injection / extrusion / stretch and blow molding of PET , extrusion / blow for PE and PP – such as stress cracking, consistency of material distribution, top load resistance, dimensional consistency, visual defects and cycle and weight reduction.


Fees – US $1175 10 days in advance, US $1350 less than 10 days in advance; Discount for two or more participants from the same company = 15%; includes course materials.


Who Should Attend – General managers, technical managers, production managers, maintenance and quality personnel, process engineers.


What will the Participants Achieve – Understanding of how to address your processing issues, improve efficiencies and reduce scrap with scientific methods.
