Solids Solutions: Masters in powder and particle technology

At first glance, powders and granules seem simple, but anyone who works with them knows that they can behave unpredictably. From poorly flowing raw materials to inconsistent product quality, solids require specialist knowledge. Solids Solutions is a company that is fully dedicated to understanding, improving and controlling powders and granulates. With in-depth expertise, practical solutions and a passion for particle technology, Solids Solutions helps companies in a wide range of sectors to make their processes more efficient, reliable and sustainable.

Who is Solids Solutions?

Solids Solutions specialises in everything related to solids. This includes powders, granules and granulates used in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical and process industries, among others. The company combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience and advanced measurement and analysis techniques. This enables them to understand and solve complex problems relating to the storage, transport, mixing and processing of solids.

What sets Solids Solutions apart is its hands-on approach. No standard solutions, but customised solutions that match the customer’s specific material and process. Whether it concerns consultancy, research, testing or training, the goal is always the same: to gain control over solids.

Why powder behaviour is so important

In many production processes, the behaviour of powders and granulates determines the final product quality. Poorly flowing powders can lead to blockages, dosing problems and downtime. Insufficient knowledge of material behaviour costs companies time and money. Solids Solutions helps organisations minimise these risks by providing insight into how and why materials behave the way they do.

The flowability of powders under the microscope

One of the most crucial properties of powders is their flowability. This determines how easily a powder flows during transport, dosing or mixing. In practice, many problems in production lines can be traced directly back to insufficient fluidity.

Solids Solutions analyses the flowability of powders using specialised measurement methods and translates the results into concrete improvements. These include adjustments to particle size, shape, moisture content or process conditions. By optimising the flowability of powders, companies can make their processes more stable, reduce waste and increase product quality. The great thing is that small changes can often have a big impact.

Granulation as the key to process optimisation

Another important discipline within Solids Solutions is granulation. Granulation is the process of combining fine powders into larger, more manageable particles. This is often used to improve flowability, reduce dust formation or create a more homogeneous product.

Solids Solutions assists companies in selecting and optimising the right granulation process. Whether wet granulation, dry granulation or other techniques are involved, each material requires a specific approach. The smart application of granulation results in products that are not only easier to process, but also perform more consistently in subsequent processes such as tableting, mixing or packaging.

Sharing knowledge and collaborating

In addition to consultancy and research, Solids Solutions attaches great importance to knowledge transfer. Through training courses, workshops and practical sessions, the company shares its expertise with operators, engineers and R&D teams. This enables organisations to become more proficient in handling powders and granulates.
