The rise of compact design
Space is a premium in many plants. This reality is pushing plant operators and engineers to rethink process equipment design — seeking solutions that balance compact layouts with high-throughput performance.
Welcome to our blog! Read about interesting stories and challenges of the industries that Solex partners with.

Minor variations in sand temperature in chemical no-bake sand mixing processes can quickly snowball into expensive problems. That’s why precise foundry sand conditioning isn’t just a technical issue. It’s a foundation for dependable, consistent quality.
From Brussels to Washington, climate policy is rewriting the economics of processing free-flowing materials by attaching real costs (and incentives!) to energy and emissions.
Coca-Cola’s possible shift to cane sugar could trigger a major uptick in global sugar demand. As producers prepare to scale, we explore why efficient sugar cooling will be critical to meeting quality and throughput goals.
Scaling a thermal processing solution is complex, especially with free-flowing bulk solids. Laboratory and pilot testing not only demonstrates feasibility, but also helps anticipate heat transfer and material behaviour in motion once at scale.
Solex-led initiative to further improve accuracy and efficiency of heat exchanger design offers potential to deliver cost savings to customers
Industrial processes don’t slow down. Neither can the equipment that powers them. We examine three different types of heat exchange equipment, and how their mechanics impact long-term reliability.
Even with the right heat exchange equipment, one of the more frustrating issues in cooling or heating bulk solids is fouling — which makes understanding why it occurs so important if operators hope to avoid it.
Temperature control is an important part of food processing. We explore which thermal processing equipment is best equipped to handle your temperature-sensitive food processing needs.
Regulators worldwide are implementing more stringent environmental regulations. Whether it’s fertilizer production, chemicals manufacturing, food processing or minerals refinement, the question is becoming clear: Is your equipment built to meet the future?
