This course is presented by Dennis Forte & Associates in conjunction with the University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Western Switzerland Valais (HES-SO Valais).

This 3-day course covers the principles of extrusion, the design of extrusion processes, as well as how the formulation interacts with the extrusion process. Principles learned will be demonstrated using the extruder in the Foodbowl pilot plant.

The program provides a good background in general extrusion technology, as applicable to the manufacture of Feeds and Human Foods.
