This book is ideal for practitioners and managers with low experience in the field. It introduces the theme of extrusion in ceramics and provides checklists, questionnaires, as well as the related literature and websites covering the topic. This Brief is written in a simple language and covers topics such as honeycombs, ceramic filters, auger geometry, wear and tear.

Frank Händle has been working as a consultant in the field of extrusion in ceramics since 2015. He is the editor of the Springer bookExtrusion in Ceramics, published in 2007.
