SOLIDS Dortmund: digitally optimised processes for a more sustainable future

Visitors will benefit from the synergy effects of the three trade shows taking place in parallel. The common denominator: handling granulates, powders, bulk solids and liquids. Exhibitors will answer questions on all relevant topics - from processing and reprocessing to returning raw materials to the cycle.

Circular economy becomes a must

"Against a backdrop of increasing raw material scarcity, greater environmental impact and rising energy costs, the pressure on the industry remains high. The call for sustainable, more circular and energy-efficient products is getting louder and companies are challenged to quickly lay the foundations for this," emphasises Anna Lena Sandmann, Exhibition Manager SOLIDS, RECYCLING-TECHNIK and PUMPS & VALVES Dortmund from organiser Easyfairs Deutschland GmbH. "Decision-makers are looking for new opportunities. A visit to the trade show and the direct dialog with exhibitors is certainly one of the most effective ways to meet their information needs."

At SOLIDS Dortmund, trade show for granules, powder and bulk solids technologies, exhibitors will present the entire value chain of mechanical processing technology for fine to coarse grained materials. Everything revolves around how granules, powders and bulk materials can be easily and economically processed, handled, stored, transported and analysed.

In parallel the RECYCLING-TECHNIK Dortmund, trade show for recycling technologies and PUMPS & VALVES Dortmund, trade show for industrial pumps, valves and processes are taking place. Here everything revolves around the world of process and recycling technologies. Companies will present technologies and solutions for the recycling and environmentally sound disposal of waste products as well as for the transport of industrial gases and liquids.

In four halls, companies, service providers and research institutions will present their innovations and process engineering solutions for a consistent and sustainable recycling economy. Among others, Aerzener Maschinenfabrik GmbH, amixon GmbH, Barradas GmbH, DI MATTEO Förderanlagen GmbH & Co. KG, Ebro Armaturen Gebr. Bröer GmbH, Hecht Technologie GmbH, Herding Filtertechnik, LEWA Deutschland GmbH, Lutz Pumpen GmbH, SECOPTA analytics GmbH, Siemens AG, Spaleck GmbH & Co. KG, Vautid GmbH.

Lectures on the pulse of time

In addition to the exhibition, the three technology trade shows will once again offer trade visitors a top-class supporting program. In numerous lectures, experts from industry and research will shed light on current topics in the sectors. Partners such as the Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences, the Bergische Universität Wuppertal, the Technische Universität Dortmund, Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Ruhr-OWL, RWTH Aachen University, WFZruhr e.V. as well as IND EX e.V. and many more will ensure a comprehensive transfer of information on a scientific level.

Among others, several renowned teaching and research institutes are involved in some of the top topics of the bulk solids industry. For example, the Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe is assisting the Food Panel, the Bergische Universität Wuppertal is looking after "Dust release during the handling of powders, granules and bulk solids" and the Fakultät Bio- und Chemieingenieurwesen der Technischen Universität Dortmund is accompanying the "Innovative solutions for continuous solids process engineering".

In addition, competence partner Dr. Dirk Textor, raw materials manager at GRAF Holding GmbH, will ask in his panel whether mechanical recycling and chemical recycling are opponents or partners. Furthermore, in the building materials recycling panel, the topic of "Secondary building materials in building construction and civil engineering" is at the top of the agenda, and Thomas Dimmers, Managing Director, Pump Consult Düsseldorf, awaits us with a presentation on the topic of "With good planning and maintenance to an efficient pump system".

New ImpulsCenter stage looks beyond the horizon

New this year is the ImpulsCenter in Hall 5. The new lecture stage is aimed at trade visitors who are looking for new impulses thoughts for their everyday work. In addition to top-class specialist presentations, the program will also be enriched by keynote speakers from outside the industry. For example from the world of soccer or management consulting. Topics such as leadership management or industry trends such as process optimisation, digitalisation and sustainability will thus be given special attention on the two days of the trade show.

Among the key note speakers this year are two quite exceptional speakers. In their lecture "YNWA - You'll never work all alone", former professional soccer player Erik Meijer and leadership expert Dr. Holger Schmitz will provide insights into their profession and draw inspiring parallels between successful companies and professional soccer.

Themed routes and explosive highlights

Those who would like to gain an overview on their own will find their way around the exhibition's planned theme routes. Along these, visitors will meet selected exhibitors and receive information on important issues. In addition to details on sustainability or process optimisation, the tours also offer valuable aspects on digitalisation or industrial fire and explosion protection. The latter will find its explosive climax on the outdoor exhibition area. Here, REMBE^® will be staging impressive live explosions on both days, providing an impressive demonstration of the risks that lurk in everyday industrial life.
