The Hapman Solidquid™ System automatically and precisely unloads, measures, and delivers a variety of dry bulk ingredients as a pre-blended slurry to your mix tank, blender, or other process equipment.
Efficient, Reliable Powder-to-Liquid Integration for Bulk Material Handling
Solidquid is a fully integrated dry powder injection system designed to streamline bulk material handling, improve downstream mixing performance, and improve safety in handling explosive or toxic powders. Whether you’re adding powders to mixing tanks, slurry tanks, or reaction vessels, Solidquid ensures smooth incorporation without clumping, long mix times, or excessive energy use.
Unlike traditional mechanical conveyors or hand dumping, Solidquid delivers powders into a liquid stream using the market’s premier venturi eductor solution designed to seamlessly blend dry powders and fluids with unmatched reliability. Unlike standard eductors, the Solidquid’s precision-engineered sizing and geometry adapt effortlessly to diverse powders and varying conditions, delivering consistent performance across food, chemical, pharma, and industrial applications. Our uniquely designed washdown bowl introduces powder directly into a controlled liquid environment, continuously rinsing surfaces to prevent caking and ensuring uninterrupted, high-rate material integration, reducing waste, improving safety, and eliminating dust concerns.
How Solidquid Works
1. Controlled Powder Dosing
Materials enter through a Bulk Bag Unloader or bag dump station.
Precise feeding via auger feeders (PosiPortion, PosiPro) or vibratory feeders ensures consistent dosing.
2. Efficient Powder-Liquid Mixing
The venturi eductor creates a vacuum to pull powders into the process fluid, preventing floating and clumping.
The washdown bowl ensures smooth dispersion, eliminating caking and stoppages.
3. Seamless Integration with Liquid Processing
The blended mixture moves through pumps, valves, and piping, reducing residence times and final blend quality.
Key Features
Innovative Wetting Cone Design
Solidquid™ boasts an unparalleled wetting cone system that expertly meters powder into the mixing chamber. Its self-cleaning mechanism ensures that materials never cling to the sides of the hopper—guaranteed consistency in every cycle.
Advanced Eductor Technology
At the heart of Solidquid™ lies a state-of-the-art eductor. The motive liquid stream charges through a converging nozzle at high velocity, creating a potent jet that exponentially increases mix efficiency.
Superior Slurry Formulation
With Solidquid™, the transition from powder to slurry is flawless. The meticulously designed system entrains materials, delivering a homogenous mix without lumps—unlocking new levels of discharge pressure consistency.
Applications
Slurry created with a Helix® Flexible Screw Conveyor
This configuration can be used in a wide variety of applications. Here the Helix is feeding dry material into the inlet hopper of the PosiPortionTM Feeder. The feeder is metering the dry product into the wetting cone of the Solidquid system.
Solidquid slurry delivery system coupled with bulk handling and pre-processing components
Optimal efficiency is achieved in this system. The bulk material enters the delivery process through the use of an electrically operated Hoist and Trolley Bulk Bag Unloader. The material flow is enhanced with the optional pneumatic bag agitator, allowing the material to flow in a free form through the discharge valve and into a LumpMaster® Lump Breaker. Clumps in the material are broken down to ¾” size or less and delivered to the inlet hopper of the PosiPortion volumetric feeder. The feeder then meters the dry material into the Solidquid slurry delivery system. The vacuum created in the Solidquid system effectively blends the solid and liquid and moves the slurry downstream.
Slurry produced from major and minor Ingredients
For applications with multiple materials missing from the process.
Why Choose Solidquid™?
The Solidquid™ system from Hapman delivers faster, more efficient mixing by significantly reducing mixing times, boosting throughput, and lowering energy consumption compared to traditional methods. It ensures even dispersion, eliminating clumping or floating powders, and greatly reducing waste from manual dumping or conveyor spills. With its compact, low-maintenance design, Solidquid™ features fewer moving parts, requiring less maintenance and occupying far less space than conventional dry bulk equipment. Additionally, Solidquid™ enhances workplace safety and compliance by eliminating hazardous dust and diluting toxic powders early in the process—reducing risks and the need for costly explosion-rated equipment.
