Understanding & Optimizing Extrusion Seminar 2010
“With what I learned from the seminar (Understanding Extrusion and Troubleshooting Extrusion), our process is running much more stable and we are getting around 25% higher output and much better quality of product. The course paid for itself within a week.” Kolby Shelby, Shelby Trailer Service
The course was very interesting. I was able to learn about the new machine we are expecting at our company. This course was helpfull to understand the process from the beginning to the end of the production line. Edwin Nevares, Sueprvisor, American Louver Inc.
Class was very informative. I look forward to using the information gained from the class to make changes to our current equipment and process parameters.

Mr. Rauwendaal's knowledge of extrusion was amazing. We were surprised at the number of things our extrusion process could improve on. A real eye opener and a new way of looking at issues that arise. Michael Akins, R&D, Phifer, Inc
Program runs from introduction to complete review of the extrusion process. A seminar for entry to experienced processors. Scott Kitzerow, Engr. American Louver Inc.
I feel this seminar was very eye opening for me. I feel I now know more about why certain things happen which helps to make better decisions. Thank you very much.

Understanding & Optimizing Extrusion Seminar 2009
I greatly enjoyed this seminar and found it very helpful.
Shawn Kallevig, Product Development Engineer, Charter Films, Inc
I have only been working directly for production of extruded tubing for a short time. This seminar has shed light on several gray areas that I have witnessed. Several of the areas I see are certainly not understood at each level within the corporation. This material covered is a well rounded slice of knowledge that I will have to build on throughout my career.

Understanding & Optimizing Seminar 2008
- I’ve attended a wide variety of technical seminars during the course of my career, which is over 25 years at this point. Most are very dry and informational and are lead by people that are very good at what they do, but are not necessarily very good instructors. Some seminars are really a cure for insomnia.
I have to say that Dr. Chris did a phenomenal job both in providing the information, which he is obviously passionate about, and has developed a teaching technique that is very engaging. I would highly recommend it to anyone that has an interest in extrusion.
