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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dennis Forte\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0994543360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780994543363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Food Industry Engineering\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.64lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d","brand":"Dennis Forte","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993195413759,"sku":"9780994543363","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c444014b-bdf9-4c5c-9102-f73e2102f614.jpg?v=1683323026","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/food-extrusion-process-scale-up-and-dennis-forte-9780994543363","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
