«The right technologies for every process»: That is the motto
of this years’ SOLIDS Basel.The 5th trade show for granules,
powder and bulk solids technologies will present the whole range
of mechanical process engineering on 16th and 17th November
2016. The main industry event for decision makers and users from
various industries will provide an efficient mix of exhibition and
knowledge transfer at the Innovation Center stage.
Key players of the industry will attend SOLIDS Basel 2016 again
such as ALPIQ Prozessautomation AG, Brabender Technologie
GmbH & Co. KG, Emde Industrie-Technik GmbH, Endress+Hauser
(Switzerland) AG, IEP Technologies GmbH, KREISEL GmbH & Co.
KG, REMA TIP TOP Vulc-Material AG, REMBE GmbH Safety + Con-
trol, Schrage Rohrkettensystem GmbH, Siemens Schweiz AG,
Swissfilter AG, TEAG Textil- Emballagen AG and VEGA Messtech-
nik AG. For the first time companies such as Erwin Telle GmbH,
NORO Gesellschaft für Rohrsysteme mbH, Recyclix and Rubitec AG
SOLIDS Basel 2016 – National trade fair for industrial users
will be at the fair. The
trade show focuses on
diverse processing and
process steps - from
crushing and grinding
of coarse and fine-grai-
ned materials to filte-
ring and separating,
mixing, agglomerating
and shaping. On display
are machinery and pro-
cedures for incoming
materials, handling and
processing, internal pro-
cesses as well as storing
and internal & external
t r a n s p o r t .
The topics of great im-
portance to powder,
bulk solids and production experts are safety and sanitariness,
energy and resource-efficient production as well as measurement
and automation. To this end, visitors will find a wide variety of pro-
ducts, solutions and services. Competent interlocutors also pro-
vide information on current trends like the new 3D printing
production processes or specific solutions for the food, pharma-
ceutical, plastics and chemical industries as well as for the metal,
logistics, agriculture, construction and mining industries.
Despite the difficult economic and political situation Russia
is currently in, the activities in the plastics and rubber industries
are far from coming to a standstill. There is continued sub-
stantial demand for investment especially in the production of
consumer goods, technical equipment and packaging. Manu-
facturing processes and product quality at Russian sites are
being optimised in order to substitute imports; and western
technologies continue to be appreciated. The Russian govern-
ment supports these corporate initiatives and strives for new
economic growth – the newly established Council for Strategic
Development is expected to chart the right course in trade and
industry. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also believes
Russia: Good Long-Term Prospects make
for Stable Demand despite Difficult Times
the Russian economy is on track for slow economic recovery.
Also relying on this positive outlook are the exhibitors at Inter-
plastica Moscow, the 20th International Trade Fair Plastics and
Rubber, the leading meeting point for the sector in the region.
From 24 to 27 January 2017 the trade fair will again provide a
representative overview of the machinery and equipment ran-
ges for the plastics and rubber industries, raw materials and
auxiliary materials, plastic and rubber products as well as ser-
vices. Messe Düsseldorf and its subsidiary OOO Messe Düssel-
dorf Moscow as the organisers post stable demand on the part
of Russian and international exhibitors and expect more than
600 exhibitors to take part. Strong participation can be expec-
