Solids Solutions: Innovation in powder technology and catalyst characterisation

In the world of materials research and process optimisation, Solids Solutions plays a leading role. This Dutch company specialises in analysing and optimising powder and solid-state systems, combining advanced technologies and in-depth expertise to support customers in various industries. Whether in pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals or materials development, Solids Solutions delivers customised solutions that make a difference.

What makes Solids Solutions unique?

Solids Solutions stands out for their multidisciplinary approach and their focus on practical applicability. They not only help companies characterise their materials, but also translate that data into improved production processes and more efficient product properties. With innovative measurement methods and software tools, they can provide accurate insight into the behaviour of powders and solids, leading to better quality and less waste.

Powder flowability: a crucial property

One of the most important aspects Solids Solutions focuses on is powder flowability. Flowability is a measure of how easily a powder flows, and this is very important for production processes involving powders, such as in dosing, transport and packaging. Poor flowability can lead to blockages, uneven dosing and production delays.

Solids Solutions measures the flowability of powders using sophisticated equipment that takes into account factors such as particle size, humidity and surface texture. Based on these analyses, they advise customers on the best ways to improve flow, for example through adjustments in granulation, moisture control or addition of flow-promoting agents. In this way, they help companies make their processes more stable and efficient.

Catalyst characterisation: understanding reactions and efficiency

Another specialism of Solids Solutions is catalyst characterisation. Catalysts are essential in many industrial processes, as they accelerate chemical reactions without being consumed themselves. Understanding the properties of a catalyst is crucial for optimising reaction time, selectivity and yield.

Solids Solutions uses various techniques to characterise catalysts, such as porosity measurements, surface analysis and thermal stability tests. This detailed characterisation allows them to determine how well a catalyst performs and how it can be improved. This helps companies achieve more sustainable and cost-effective production processes.

Applications and customer benefits

Solids Solutions’ solutions are used worldwide in a variety of industries. From pharmaceutical companies needing precise dosages to chemical plants demanding high efficiency from their catalysts. Solids Solutions’ expertise enables customers to reduce production costs, increase quality and innovate faster.

In addition, the company continuously invests in research and development, which enables them to stay at the forefront of new measurement methods and process insights. Their customer-oriented approach and technical know-how make Solids Solutions a reliable partner in improving powder processes and catalyst performance.
