Material Properties Analysis

Material properties of product samples are tested to determine particle size distribution, pile density, moisture content and angle of repose. This information helps determine the ideal feeder design parameters.

Mobility Testing

Flow tests to determine the optimum spacing among heat transfer plates to ensure that the material does not bridge or caking and to achieve a free and even flow of material.

Mass Flow Testing

Mass flow testing is used to determine the flow properties of the material in order to ensure close-phase conveying (uniform velocity), especially in mass flow feeder.

Thermal Performance Analysis

Solex's proprietary thermodynamic modeling software, ThermaPro, enables accurate prediction of final product temperatures based on thermal properties and other process parameters.

As a global advocate of plate powder heat transfer technology, Solex has developed its own unique design software for calculating and simulating the heat transfer of powdered materials and solid particles.

This on-site testing is tailored to analyze and validate many of the following for your specific application:

We are on-hand to facilitate, implement and assess the outcomes of this pilot testing and determine the best course of action for full-scale implementation.
