What can the food industry learn from dosing in pharmaceuticals?
In pharmaceutical manufacturing, accuracy, reproducibility, and hygiene have been leading principles for decades. Dosing and mixing systems are designed to reliably handle a wide range of ingredients. This experience is proving relevant to today’s challenges in food processing.
Material engineering optimizes lifetime and performance of extruder wear parts
Targeted material selection and engineering therefore play a crucial role in the performance, reliability and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of extruders. This is stated by Extruder Experts in a recent technical briefing, highlighting the importance of application-specific selection of wear parts.
The art of dosing in food
In the food industry, everything revolves around precision and quality. Whether it’s flour, sugar, nuts, dried fruit or spices — each ingredient has its own unique characteristics. Choosing the wrong approach can lead to problems. The real challenge is selecting the right dosing solution for each product.

Together with our partners we are present at PRSE 2024
We are excited to announce that SPS | Solids Process Solutions, along with our partners Kubota Brabender Technologie, Extruder Experts, and ECON, will once again be present at the Plastics Recycling Show Europe on June 19 and 20, 2024, at the RAI Amsterdam!
Safely extrusion of food with new steel grade
A new steel grade for twin-screw extruders ensures the safe extrusion of food. The use of this new steel grade is approved in accordance with Regulation 1935/2004/EC.
Partnership with Granusteel for spare parts for underwater pelletizers
SPS is pleased to announce that as of March 1, 2024, it has become the exclusive agent of Granusteel, a quality supplier from Austria of spare parts for underwater pelletizers for the plastics industry.
Retrofitting of dosing units is an interesting option
Feeders are robust and can take quite a bit of mechanical punishment. They still function defect-free after many years, even decades in service. But feeders sometimes need to be overhauled and reconditioned or their control systems have to be upgraded. Such retrofits give feeders a second lease of life.
Energy-saving innovation for the granulation of rPET/PET
The ECON PET-Edition provides a highly energy-efficient solution for the granulation of rPET/PET, making a valuable contribution to the circular economy. In the world of PET recycling, the kW/t value of recycled material significantly impacts the profitability of production lines.
