Screw Design Conference-Topcon

June 19 - June 20, 2024
220 Pawtucket St, Lowell, MA 01854, United States

Co-hosted by the Society Plastics Engineers (SPE) Extrusion Division and the SPE Eastern New England Section, this highly technical program will focus upon screw design principles for single and twin screw extruders with wide ranging topics relating to screw designs for feeding, melting, mixing, venting and pumping plastics products and parts. Areas of focus will include screw designs for melt temperature and gel management, gel minimization, bioplastics, recycled materials and foaming.

In addition to the technical sessions, a tour of the UMass Lowel Plastics Processing Laboratories will be integrated into Day 2 of the event.

This program is not just for screw designers, but to help anyone responsible for any type of extrusion operation to evaluate existing extrusion equipment; and also to prepare for future projects.

Price to attend:  Less than $1000!  Registrations will be accepted in early 2024.
