The WAI’s Advanced Extrusion Workshop that will be held Wednesday, May 14, at Southwire’s campus in Carrollton, Georgia, is nearing full capacity.

There are only 50 available slots, and as of press time it appeared that it likely would close, reflecting the strong demand that exists for specialized training in wire and cable extrusion processes.

This hands-on, in-depth session builds on the basic principles from the Fundamentals of Wire Manufacturing extrusion session and expands into advanced techniques and optimization strategies. Co-led by Rick Chamberlin of Hawkins Consulting, LLC and David Skinner of Joe Tools, the workshop is designed to enhance operational efficiency and technical proficiency among extrusion professionals.

The course will cover topics such as material handling options, crossheads and tooling, extruder screw optimization and material balance and usage optimization.  For more details on the workshop and registration, visit interwire25.com.
