Co-hosted by the Society Plastics Engineers (SPE) Extrusion Division and the SPE Eastern New England Section, the
SPE Screw Design Conference-Topcon will focus on screw design principles for single- and twin-screw extruders for any type of extrusion operation in any industry. Areas of focus will include screw designs for precision extrusion, melt temperature management, minimization of gels, and useful techniques and practices to process bioplastics, recycled materials and foamed parts. In addition to the technical sessions, there will be a reception on Day 1, and a Day 2 tour of the UMass Lowell Extrusion Process Laboratory.
