Solids Solutions: specialist in powder and bulk behaviour

Powders and granulates play a crucial role in many industries, from food and pharmaceuticals to chemicals and recycling. However, the behaviour of these solids is often difficult to predict in practice. Think of clogged silos, irregular dosing or production processes that are not running optimally. Solids Solutions helps companies get to grips with this complex behaviour. With in-depth knowledge of powder and bulk goods, Solids Solutions supports organisations in optimising processes, preventing malfunctions and improving product quality.

Who is Solids Solutions?

Solids Solutions is a knowledge-driven company that focuses entirely on understanding and improving the behaviour of powders and bulk materials. The company combines theoretical expertise with practical experience from the industry. This enables them not only to advise customers, but also to really help them solve concrete problems in production, storage and transport.

What sets Solids Solutions apart is its independent and analytical approach. It does not work with standard solutions, but with customised solutions based on measurements, analyses and a thorough understanding of the customer’s specific material and process.

From problem to solution

Many production problems originate in the behaviour of powders: bridging in silos, segregation during transport or variable flow in dosing equipment. Solids Solutions guides companies from identifying the problem to implementing a sustainable solution. This can range from process advice and design optimisation to support with upscaling or troubleshooting in existing installations.

This integrated approach reduces costly downtime and increases process reliability.

Powder characterization: the basis of understanding

An important part of Solids Solutions’ services is powder characterization. This involves accurately mapping the physical properties of a powder or granulate. Think of particle size, cohesion, density and friction behaviour.

Powder characterization is essential because two powders that look the same visually can behave completely differently in a process. By objectively measuring these properties, insight is gained into how a material will behave during storage, mixing, transport or dosing. This forms the basis for well-founded decisions in design and process settings.

Powder flow under control

In addition to characterisation, powder flow is one of Solids Solutions’ core areas of expertise. Good powder flow is crucial for a stable and predictable production process. Poor flow can lead to interruptions, quality problems and additional maintenance.

Solids Solutions analyses how powders behave in silos, hoppers and dosing systems and advises on improvements. This may involve adjustments to geometry, material selection or process conditions. By better understanding and controlling powder flow, companies can increase their efficiency and reduce waste.

Applications in various industries

Solids Solutions’ knowledge is applied in a wide range of sectors, such as the food industry, pharmaceutical production, chemicals and building materials. In all these sectors, reliable powder behaviour is of great importance for quality, safety and continuity.

Thanks to its broad experience, Solids Solutions can respond quickly and contribute ideas at both a strategic and operational level.

Why choose Solids Solutions?

Companies that work with Solids Solutions choose depth, independence and practical applicability. By focusing on powder characterisation and powder flow, Solids Solutions helps organisations to better understand their processes and improve them structurally.

In short: anyone who wants to gain more control over powders and bulk materials will find Solids Solutions to be a reliable and expert partner.
