All these companies are showcased within the SHAPA website and along with the  equipment finder is the go-to place for all of your bulk and solids handling requirements. This website is an invaluable resource for all end users, project engineers and specifiers engaged in new projects, updating existing plant and installations, or just simply looking for life extending efficient maintenance packages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This leading resource is continually evolving with new papers being added all the time. When many of us feel isolated and working independently from home, you can be assured that the information on the SHAPA website is up to date and validated by leading experts from the solids and bulk handling industry. This allows buyers to have confidence and be able to connect with specialist suppliers quickly and more effectively. Another feature on the SHAPA website, is the Technical Section, containing a wealth of useful data, technical papers, application sheets, and links to the business helpline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technical and commercial issues affecting members and the whole of the industry form a large part of the SHAPA effort and recently at the January General Meeting there was an update on how SHAPA members need to and can overcome some of the issues associated with cyber security. At the next meeting there will be further information on the UKCA mark and how the UK government through BEIS is looking at adapting their ambition for the UKCA mark to allow existing products to potentially continue to use the CE mark for longer without retesting for the UKCA mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SHAPA member companies have continual access to the latest knowledge and data, disseminated to<br>the membership via papers, industry seminars and through networking at association general  meetings. This dynamic, modern approach has been key to 40 years of successful service for the  benefit of all manufacturers and suppliers and importantly, to installers and users of solids handling  equipment across a huge range of industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In these challenging times SHAPA and its member companies continue to thrive, and in addition to  promoting the successes of the industry, the need for future development has not been overlooked.<br>Further information on the training workshops and the awards including application forms can be  found on the SHAPA website at www.shapa.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is well established that the SHAPA membership comprises many exceptional companies in bulk materials handling and processing, their combined&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1458","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1458","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1458"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1458\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1459,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1458\/revisions\/1459"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1458"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1458"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1458"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
