Our polymer processing technicians will be trained to produce polymer products to a specification. Working in a production facility - often on a large scale, using a range of machinery, control systems and engineering equipment the will understand the different ranges of continuous or in batch processes.
They will be able to set up or configure equipment and tooling and prepare materials for processing. They will run and monitor the process, adjusting parameters. They use unique technologies and processes such as extrusion, blow moulding, thermoforming, rotational moulding, injection moulding, internal mixing, and calendering. They will undertake quality control, complete work records, and participate in improvement.
They may also complete preventative maintenance and prepare polymer process equipment for maintenance and overhaul. We have industry expert coaches who deliver training on site in person ensuring development of core technical skills every 8 weeks throughout the programme to give a truly bespoke experience for each apprentice.
