Course content
The study is organized in terms of practical excursions (given in 2-3 hours parts) to the regional companies fabricating common plastics by using various technologies. Students summarize their findings into the reports. - Mixing, masterbatches. - Processing of polyolefin package products by extrusion. - Extrusion of foam tubes. - Processing of polyolefin package products by blow moulding. - Rolling. - Manufacturing of composites. - Finishing operations - welding, printing. - Surface treatment. - Shape-complex injection moulded parts. - Automatization of the process, parts design. - Processing of elastomers. - Production of tires. - Mould design for plastics industry. - Construction of moulds for elastomer processing.
