Quickly make new and entry level employees part of your production team with training in the fundamental elements of safe, efficient molding. Quality, safety and profit all start with employees on the production floor, but their training may not get the attention it deserves. ProMolder 1 level courses are typically appropriate for entry-level personnel – operators, set up, part handlers, maintenance and technicians. ProMolder 1 is also effective as a refresher course for veteran employees and as a method of employee job screening.

The series content includes molding machine parts and operation, operator responsibilities, mold types, the nature of plastics, safe practices, identifying part defects, and machine operation. The SkillBuilder portion is a unique program available only from Paulson Training Programs, and features a fully functioning injection molding machine simulator with amazing realism through 3-D graphics. Complete molding animation and sounds just like you experience on the production floor! Also available in Spanish.

Increase productivity and reduce rejects through better control of the molding process. This program teaches the "hows and whys" of injection molding improvements with specific rules, procedures and explanations for controlling the plastic, optimizing machine control settings, and improving machine operation. Increase productivity, reduce rejects, and ultimately have better control of the injection molding process.

Next, train production personnel, supervisors and managers to understand the molding process at their “need to know” level. Your new process-capable production team will: exercise greater control over the molding process; reduce rejects and scrap; improve part quality; and increase productivity. Step “inside” the mold to visualize the process as graphic animation reveals the machine and plastic behavior during the molding process. Learn the “what”, “why” and “how” of injection molding technology! Also available in Spanish.

Increased customer demands and increased competition demand a renewed commitment to developing the in-house resources that separate your production team from the competition’s.

Greatly enhance the knowledge and effectiveness of your molding personnel. Learn how the four plastic processing variables of pressure, temperature, flow rate and cooling rate determine ALL part properties. Discover the relationship between cavity pressures and the internal part stresses they create. Mold better parts by applying your increased knowledge of plastic behavior to the molding machine controls. The Expert Series is recommended for: set-up personnel, molding managers, molding technicians, process engineers and production supervisors. Also available in Spanish.

Dive into the latest technology of the single screw extrusion process — from start-up to shutdown. Learn about extrusion machinery, plastic behavior, and how to maximize the productivity and efficiency of the extruder. Through nine lessons, learn to optimize the extrusion process, quickly solve problems, and develop advanced troubleshooting skills. This program teaches the fundamentals of single screw technology, including all of the knowledge that your personnel must understand in order to make informed decisions on the production floor. Also available in Spanish.
