FiE in conjunction with FoodStream and the University of Applied Sciences & Arts Western Switzerland Valais will hold Design of food extrusion dies course from February 13 – 14 in Sion, Switzerland.
This course will cover the theory and practice of designing dies for food and feed extrusion systems. The program is relevant to the production of all types of extruded products - including expanded snacks and breakfast cereals, pastas and third generation snack pellets, pet foods and aquafeeds. Topics include calculation of die conductance/pressure drop, allowing for die entrance effects, causes of product curvature, design of primary dies and the influence of die wear.
Early registration deadline is December 6. More information here.
