Hosokawa Solids: Turnkey solutions for bulk solids handling processes

Turnkey Solutions for Bulk Solids Handling

This video shows how Hosokawa Solids Solutions, part of the Hosokawa Micron Group, delivers integrated, turnkey bulk solids handling systems — from engineering and production through installation and after-sales support.

Company Background

Founded in 1969, Hosokawa Solids has more than 50 years of experience in bulk solids processing, covering storage, pneumatic conveying, dosing, milling, mixing, compaction, drying and automation.

Development and manufacturing centers in Germany and Spain support components, systems and service tailored to customer needs. The company reports well over 1,000 delivered systems in Europe and beyond, with clients in industries such as food, chemicals and pharmaceuticals.

From Concept to Commissioning

The video walks through the turnkey approach step by step:

1. Task definition and raw material analysis: assessing material properties and flow behavior.
2. Concept development: creating solutions that align with production goals.
3. Engineering, automation and design: involving process, mechanical and control engineering.
4. In-house manufacturing: producing everything from feeders and valves to dosing and conveying equipment.
5. Testing: critical systems are tested in dedicated facilities in Germany and Spain.
6. Assembly, commissioning and training: installation and hand-over with operator guidance.
7. Long-term service: spare parts, maintenance, remote service and consulting remain available.

Core Competencies and Design Lines

Hosokawa covers the key bulk-handling domains:

• Storage & Discharge
• Pneumatic Conveying
• Weighing & Dosing
• Automation

Systems are tailored to industries such as food and beverages, chemicals, cosmetics, minerals, plastics, rubber, animal feed, energy and the environment.

Design lines include:

• Basic Design for standard solids
• Clean Design where contamination is critical
• Hygienic Dry/Wet for food and cosmetics
• Heavy Design for abrasive or high-temperature applications

Engineering and Production Resources

The company describes more than 65 specialists in process, apparatus and automation engineering and project management, plus 7,000 m² of in-house manufacturing space for components up to large silos. Test facilities in Germany and Spain verify designs before installation, and control systems are developed for the specific client and product. According to the company, its installations pay back quickly thanks to low maintenance, high reliability and energy-efficient design.

What the Video Captures

Viewers see scenes of engineering work, component assembly, system testing and automated integration — the layers of process design, in-house production and customer hand-off that carry a bulk handling project from idea to operation.
