Compounding is a process for processing plastics. Additives, fillers and reinforcing agents are mixed into the plastic. This allows the desired properties to be precisely adjusted. 

In this e-learning course, you will learn about the basic structure of a compounding plant. You will learn interactively and clearly which extruder types are used and what actually happens in an extruder and the downstream units. 

In this course you will learn


  • The structure of a compounding line
  • Extruder types
  • Processes in the compounding extruder
  • Pelletising systems
