The SPE Handbook on Single Screw
Extrusion is balanced in approach, rather than
focusing either on technical matters or on soft
sciences. The material is intently focused on
the day-to-day experiences and needs of factory
floor personnel and full of practical tips and
cautions. The handbook includes supplemental detail
and review questions at the end of each chapter.
It was designed to be used in conjunction with
the SPE Single Screw Video
Program The handbook serves as an excellent
introductory volume for new company hires, sales
professionals, operators, and others associated
with single screw extrusion operations. The material
is written in a simple, conversational tone and
organized in an easy-to-understand format. The
handbook is from the new Practical Plastics SPE
handbook series.
