Revolutionizing Extrusion: The SPE Extrusion Optimization Topcon
The first-ever SPE Extrusion Optimization Topcon is set to take place from June 16 to 18, 2026, at the Holiday Inn Montréal – Longueuil, QC, just a ten-minute drive from downtown Montreal. This pioneering event aims to bring together individuals involved in single and twin screw extrusion operations, offering significant insights to increase efficiency and product quality.
Focus on Young Talent and Industry Innovations
The SPE Extrusion Optimization Topcon emphasizes the importance of cultivating young talent in the extrusion field. Aligned with initiatives presented at K 2025, the event will encourage participation from students at a discounted rate. Additionally, a portion of the proceeds from the event will be dedicated to scholarships for aspiring professionals in the plastics industry, ensuring the future of the sector is bright.
What to Expect: Tutorials and Presentations
Attendees can look forward to a program filled with insights on overcoming common boundary conditions that affect melt temperature, torque, pressure, and mass-transfer limits in extrusion processes. The event is structured with a series of tutorials on June 18 and an array of presentations that cover both single screw and twin screw (co-rotating and counter-rotating) extrusion methods, delving into upstream, die, and downstream technologies.
Collaborative Learning Through Plant Tours
In addition to presentations, the SPE Topcon will feature plant tours, allowing participants to see the latest technologies in action. This hands-on learning approach will enhance understanding and provide real-world context to the theoretical knowledge shared throughout the event.
The Importance of Corporate Involvement
Corporate sponsorships are limited for this event, providing companies with a unique opportunity to showcase their commitment to the extrusion industry and engage with potential customers. With interest from organizations like Leistritz Extrusion, the Topcon aims to create a robust network essential for the growth of extrusion technology and its application in various sectors.
Call for Presentations: Share Your Knowledge
The event committee is inviting experts to share their wisdom through presentations. Interested parties should submit a 1-page abstract to be considered, fostering a collaborative environment for knowledge sharing and innovation within the field.
For those involved in the realm of plastic manufacturing and extrusion, this inaugural event presents an unrivaled platform to gain insights, network, and contribute to the future of the industry. If you're looking to improve efficiency in your operations and are eager to learn about cutting-edge technologies, mark these dates on your calendar!
