This book takes a complex task, commonly approached largely on an empirical (or \"trial and error\") basis and shows how scientific and engineering principles can be assembled to design the required outcome - that is, the manufacture of the same product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing a brief review of extrusion theory, the book discusses methods to quantify both material rheology and the extrusion process. Principles and application of \"Dimensional Analysis\" techniques are also presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is then used as a basis for a planned approach to scale-up and\/or process transfer. Analysis and scale-up of extrusion dies are covered as separate topics. Worked examples - taken from actual industrial scale-up experience - are used to demonstrate the methods. The aim is to provide readers with a science-based approach to this topic, which applies to real industrial processes. The limitations inherent in scaling the process are also discussed, along with an outline of how small-scale trials should be planned so that processes are more scalable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Food Industry Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45787724415023,"sku":"9780994543363","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/2855\/6847\/files\/imageloader_79484b9c-a737-4be3-981f-23227ed7635d.jpg?v=1786149797","url":"https:\/\/tssbooks.com\/products\/food-extrusion-process-scale-up-and-process-transfer","provider":"tssbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
