It used to be that all you needed to store your materials was a large area where your product could
be piled high on top of itself out in the open air. As time moved forward the need for more sophisticated storage solutions were required to safely store the ever-increasing range of bulk solid
materials with their different characteristics. In order to achieve this a more technical approach is
required for the design of your storage solutions. The SHAPA community have produced a large
range of technical papers which are free and fully downloadable from the SHAPA website including,
the Benefits of Powder Characterisation, Ten Key Steps for Achieving Reliable Flow from Hoppers,
Achieving Reliable Flow from Existing Hoppers and the recently published Cost of Ownership paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These papers outline the benefits and possible solutions to ensure your silos, bins and hoppers are SHAPA continues to support the success of its members and it was pleased to be able to host the The SHAPA membership is as strong as ever and it continues to strive for technical excellence in the It used to be that all you needed to store your materials was a large area where your product couldbe…<\/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-1477","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1477","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=1477"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1477\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1478,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1477\/revisions\/1478"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wpdev.perceptionsystem.in\/shapa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
designed to suit the characteristics of the material to be stored as well as considering its unique
