IPPT TWINN 18th Project Workshop: Extrusion Based Technologies
An intensive workshop on extrusion-based technologies was held 23th and 24th of September 2025 at the Department of Polymer Engineering, Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME). The event, organized in collaboration with several partner institutions, focused on knowledge exchange and practical training in polymer processing techniques.
During the workshop, participants used a Labtech single-screw extruder equipped with a film blowing tower to explore the process of polymer film production. The practical task involved achieving a target film thickness and width while investigating the influence of key processing parameters, such as:
This hands-on experience provided valuable insights into the critical factors that affect the final properties and dimensions of extruded blown polymer films, contributing to the overall understanding of extrusion-based polymer processing.
