Industrial Size Reduction

Experience seamless material processing with Lumpmaster, the ultimate low-speed, high-torque lump breaker. Clumping prevention begins when material enters the LumpMaster through the opening in the top. Pieces of material too large to pass through the rotating shaft pins and the stationary combing bars are crushed as the shaft weldments rotate. The material continues to be crushed until it is small enough to pass through. Designed for compact, inline installation in various industrial environments, our durable Lumpmaster unit ensures uniform size reduction. Choose from 12”, 18″, or 24” models in carbon or stainless steel for your specific application.

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

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.

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. 

Integrate the Solidquid™ with other bulk material equipment from Hapman like the Bulk Bag Unloader, Helix® Flexible Screw Conveyor, or PosiPortion™ Feeder for a complete conveying system.

Example Applications

Breakfast Food Packaging Line

Materials: Dried Fruits, Oats, and Sugars

Challenge: Our customer secured a new large client to deliver a consumer breakfast product.

Application: Two Bulk Bag Unloaders with pneumatic agitation, discharge material from the bags. To break up the clumps, a Lumpmaster is in place at the discharge of the bag. Conveyors include a Slipstick, from a sister company and two Helix Flexible Screw Conveyors. These feed two additional conveyors on top of the mezzanine. System controls make sure the ingredients are accurately distributed to the packaging line below.

Lithium Mining Application

Material: Lithium

Challenge: Automate a labor-intensive mixing process of combining dry materials with neutralization properties with process water for wastewater treatment in order to reduce costs as demand and price for Lithium escalated.

Application: A bag dump station with dust collector, empties into a feeder hopper which meters flow of dry material into our exclusive Solidquid eductor system. The eductor combines the dry material with the dirty process water to make a slurry which is pumped to one of two mixing tanks where further blending occurs.

Minerals Packaging Application

Material: Minerals

Challenge: Customer produced bagged fertilizers and needed to expand packaging to meet growing demand.

Application: Each material is accurately metered with our gravimetric feeders. Material is conveyed, on demand from the Bulk Bag Unloaders using the Helix Flexible Screw Conveyor, and from the storage silo using our Tubular Drag Conveyor. The metered material is discharged from each feeder into a mill below the platform where a second Tubular Drag Conveyor takes the blended material to a load-out station outside the building.

Snack Food Production Application

Material: Corn Meal

Challenge: A new plant required a system for their cracker production.

Application: A Bulk Bag Unloader empties into a hopper. When a batch is required, the Helix Flexible Screw Conveyor will run until the correct weight is achieved in the mixer. The mixer will discharge into a surge hopper when the hopper reads low level. Material will be stored until one of the four extruders call for material at which time the appropriate discharge gate will open, Tubular Drag Conveyor will start, and material will transfer until extruder is full.
