A graduate of The University of Akron in Chemical Engineering (Polymer Specialized)\, Sam combines rigorous technical training with lifelong curiosity – fueled by books\, seminars\, technical papers\, and hands-on experimentation. His mantra\, “It’s not black magic – it’s Rubber Science!” reflects his drive to uncover answers\, reveal correlations\, and empower others to do the same.  Sam volunteers as Education Committee Chairman for both the ACS Rubber Division and The Los Angeles Rubber Group Inc.\, and has taught the Basic Rubber Technology Course for TLARGI for the past three years. As founder of Rheologix\, he consults across the elastomer industry – spanning automotive\, medical\, oil & gas\, and aerospace/defense – leveraging best practices to bridge R&D and real-world manufacturing. He has mastered balancing the three pillars of elastomer success: compounding\, tooling\, and processing.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Gear Pump Technology in Rubber Applications
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Gear Pump Technology in Rubber Applications \nOctober 20\, 2026; 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. ET \nWebinar Overview: This webinar focuses on the benefit of gear pump extruders for rubber processing and their specific characteristics. A gear pump\, due to its volumetric transport characteristics\, is predestined for applications such as precise extrusion and high-pressure operations\, as well as precise dosing applications. By combining different extruder technologies with a gear pump\, it becomes a modular system for different applications in rubber processing.  \nWebinar Objectives: This webinar focuses on the gear pump technology in well-known rubber processes in mixing and extrusion lines and it will include the following topics: \n\nIntroduction and history\nFunction principal basics of gear pumps\nProcess technological basics\nWaste reduction and quality improvement\n\nStraining within the straining cell\nStraining within the mixing line\nStraining within the extrusion line\nStraining within the rework line\n\n\nGear pump technology for precise extrusion\n\nRubber extrusion lines\nHigh pressure applications for wire\, fiber and yarn\n\n\nGear pump technology in continuous mixing (dosing)\nGear pump technology in silicone compounding\nFuture applications and outlook\nSummary\n\nWho Should Take This Webinar: The webinar is designed for mechanical and chemical engineers in the rubber industry. Centered around process techniques in mixing and extrusion\, it is the perfect training for individuals working in engineering\, R&D or quality improvement. \nPrice: Free for Members / $149 Non-members \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER. \nInstructor: Julia Uth (M.Eng.)\, UTH \nBio: Julia Uth is Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at UTH GmbH (Germany) – a machine manufacturer highly specialized in gear pump technology and fine mesh straining applications. After completing her master’s degree in engineering\, Julia joined UTH GmbH. As a mechanical engineer\, she is highly committed to the development of cutting-edge straining and mixing solutions for rubber processing that achieve more quality and sustainability while reducing costs. \nAbout UTH GmbH: UTH GmbH is a global leader in gear pump technology and fine mesh straining systems for rubber and silicone processing. Known for precision\, reliability and innovative engineering\, UTH develops equipment that improves extrusion accuracy\, reduces waste and enhances material quality across mixing and compounding lines.
