Plastics Technology 2 Learning System | Blow Molding & Extrusion Training

Amatrol’s 96-PLS2 Plastics Technology 2 Learning System adds to the 96-PLS1T to teach plastics blow molding and extrusion. Blow molding is a popular method for processing plastics, consuming about 10% of all plastics worldwide, due to its economic cost and low finishing requirements. Extrusion is used for two-dimensional shapes like a pipe, tubing, etc. and can also be used in combination. This unit introduces basic blow molding operations, including design and extrusion operations.

The 96-PLS2 includes a clamping system, extrusion die for use with blow molding, pneumatic blow system, starter mold for blow molding, extrusion die, interactive curriculum for both theory and lab, and a teacher’s assessment guide. Students will learn skills such as creating a plastics part using a blow molding operation, troubleshooting blow molds, designing a blow mold using CAD/CAM, creating a blow mold using a CNC machine, creating a plastics part using an extrusion operation, and testing an extrusion for uniform diameter.

Amatrol’s Plastics Technology 2 Learning System Includes World-Class, Interactive Multimedia Curriculum

Amatrol’s 96-PLS2 Plastics Technology 2 Learning System includes an interactive multimedia curriculum that’s the perfect instructional tool for today’s classroom with an exciting presentation and high-quality learning content.
