A host of new features at easyFairs SOLIDS 2008
Make a date in your diary for the March 11-12 next year, when easyFairs®SOLIDS 2008 returns with even more to offer exhibitors and visitors alike.
The only UK exhibition for the solids processing, handling and storage sector,easyFairs® SOLIDS brings together buyers and suppliers in powders, granules and solids production and processing industries. It covers all the key sectors, including agriculture, dairy, food and beverages, animal feed,chemicals, soap and cosmetics, plastics and rubber, minerals and aggregates,metals, waste and recycling, biomass and biofuels, and pharmaceuticals.
Targeted at the heart of the market and showcasing the latest innovations and solutions to improve productivity and efficiency, easyFairs SOLIDS is stepping up another gear next March. Not only has the location moved to the NEC Birmingham, a world class venue right at the heart of the UK's industrial landscape, but also for the first time the show will run in parallel with easyFairs® MAINTEC, the UK's leading exhibition for maintenance and asset management. Bringing these industrial technology events together will build on the synergies between the specialist sectors and attract a much wider visitor audience.
Another exciting development for 2008 will be a dedicated Industrial Environment forum for the bulk solids processing and handling sector, focusing on the latest developments to improve plant performance, efficiency and compliance, including:
• dust and emissions monitoring and control;
• effluent/slurry monitoring and disposal;
• filtration and separation;
• noise and odour control;
• energy efficiency;
• waste and recycling; and
• safety and fire and explosion protection.
“The aim is to bring under one roof all the latest solutions to help plant engineers and managers discharge their environmental responsibilities and comply with regulations, while at the same time realising the bottom line benefits of improving plant efficiency and resource management,” explains Peter Heath,Managing Director of easyFairs UK Ltd
The show's not just about the kit, however. Promoting knowledge transfer and sharing good practice, the short practical learnShop™ seminars held within the exhibition are a highlight of every easyFairs show. Developed in partnership with the Solids Handling & Processing Association (SHAPA) and other key organisations, the sessions will give visitors and exhibitors alike the opportunity to hear industry experts talking on the hottest topics and common processing and handling issues facing solids professionals. There will also be a particular focus on real life, practical problem-solving through end-user and customer case studies.
As well as the close collaboration with SHAPA, easyFairs® Solids is also, for the first time, being supported by the key professional bodies IChemE, IMechE, IOM3, SOE/IPlantE, and the Wolfson Centre for Bulk Solids Handling Technology. Not only will these institutions be promoting the show to their extensive membership bases, but their support also underpins the role of this event as a forum where professionals can keep in touch with the latest technology and trends.
Leading companies in the industry have already signed up for easyFairs Solids 2008, including Endress + Hauser, Flexicon (Europe) Ltd, K- Tron Great Britain Ltd, Howden Process Compressors, NDC Infrared Engineering Ltd, Rota Val Ltd, Sew Eurodrive Ltd, Sweco Europe Ltd, Vega Controls Ltd, and Vortex Valves Europe. There are top names for the Industrial Environment forum too – including ABB Ltd, PCME Ltd, Scientifics Ltd and Signal Group Ltd – as well as plenty of interest from solids processing and handling specialists in mainland Europe and Ireland to bring an international flavour to the show.
