Exposólidos, Hall of the technology and the processing of solids

Drafting QU01/10/2006

On 14, 15 and 16 November 2006 the fourth edition of Exposólidos will be held in La Farga de L'Hospitalet (Barcelona). Following the success of its previous edition, with a participation of 81 exhibiting companies and more than 200 brands from around the world, this unique in Spain monograph Hall wants to become the second most important event in Europe in the sector of the solids.

This year Exposólidos expected to exceed 140 direct exhibitors and the 5500 visitors from such diverse industries as: food, agriculture, metallurgy, chemistry, pharmacy, shipping, mining, construction, cosmetics, plastic, painting, among others.

Within the offer of the Hall include the celebration of the rapporteurs chaired by prestigious technical conference national and international. The main theme of the presentations will be security in the industry, given that the risk of explosion in industries working with solid or powder products is very high. With the rules ATEX, explaining the basic criteria for the classification of areas ATEX and the requirements of ATEX as well as installations all necessary documentation will be discussed in depth. Among other issues, will discuss also on new frontiers in treatment and manufacturing the so-called solids of the future: the solid particulate, and on the protection of the environment in the industry.

The presence of the most important companies in the sector makes estimates of the results of this year optimistic, that will turn Exposólidos into an interesting point of reference for professionals in the sector of the solids.
