All our members are established specialists within their fields, and have the experience and commercial standing to provide quality, cost-effective solutions for all aspects of mechanisation for bulk materials handling and storage, conveyors, dust collection and control, instrumentation, mixers, big bag handling, sampling systems, sieves, valves and weighing systems and equipment.
It is well established that the SHAPA membership comprises many
exceptional companies in bulk materials handling and processing, their
combined experience and knowledge amounting to a few centuries. All are
merely a few “clicks” away on the SHAPA website www.shapa.co.uk . This
is an invaluable resource for all project engineers and specifiers
engaged in new projects, updating plant and installations, or simply
looking for life extending efficient maintenance.
This leading
resource is continually evolving with new technical papers being added
all the time. At a time when many of us feel isolated and working from
home, you can be assured that the information on the SHAPA website is up
to date and validated by experts from the solids and bulk handling
industry. This allows buyers to connect with expert suppliers more
quickly. Other website features, including the Technical Section,
containing a wealth of useful data, technical papers, application
sheets, links to the business helpline and innovation funding partners.
Technical and commercial issues affecting members and the industry at
large form a large part of the SHAPA effort and during the July General
Meeting there will be an update on how SHAPA and the government through
BEIS and DIT can help our industry survive and thrive during the
coronavirus pandemic.
SHAPA not only holds but also refines
knowledge within the solids and bulk handling industries, whilst our
industrial manufacturers actively refine their products to handle the
ever-increasing demands of handling many types and sizes of granular and
powdered materials. within the SHAPA Product Finder can be found
specialists for example, in sieves, screens, separators, sifters and
shakers, as well as classifiers for materials in all quantities. Such
equipment may be used for QA sampling or production in batches or
continuous processes. Because of the extremely broad applications
spectrum, the science of particle separation and classification requires
very specialised knowledge of the product character as well as the
entire process. Robust screens to progressively separate quarried
minerals, for example from coarse aggregates to sub-micron fines,
obviously require a very different approach to the sieving of delicate
pharmaceutical materials. Again, difficult materials may adhere or
agglomerate requiring such techniques as ultra-sonics to enable
successful sieving and accurate size classification. Diverse products
such as zinc, powder coatings, gypsum or rice meal need expert
treatment.
SHAPA member companies have continual access to the latest knowledge
and data, disseminated to the membership via papers, industry seminars
and through networking during Association General Meetings. This
dynamic, modern approach has been key to nearly 40 years’ success – for
the benefit of all manufacturers and suppliers and importantly, to
installers and users across a huge range of industries.
Companies, Consultants, Project Managers and all those involved
with new solids handling projects or updating existing process plant
should head for the Equipment Finder on the SHAPA website – just a click
or two away and also take time to download the total Cost of Ownership
document ensuring the newly installed equipment meets the needs and long
term financial requirements of the project. Alternatively email your
enquiry direct to info@shapa.co.uk or make contact by phone on 01904
