SmartTech PVC Processor Pro™
On-Site Scientific Molding Training for Performance PVC & CPVC Processors
PVC Processor Pro™ provides participants with a strong understanding of how to build, document, and troubleshoot a Scientific Molding process. The curriculum is specifically geared toward companies that mold performance PVC & CPVC parts with strict strength and/or resistance requirements — such as pipe fittings, medical containers, and electrical housings.
Prior to the event, participants are required to take online training to prepare them for focused technical discussions. The onsite training event itself can be 1, 2, or 3 days† long, depending on your company’s needs. After the event, participants must complete additional online training — reinforcing the classroom discussions and preparing them for the completion exam.
