The International Fair for Processing, Storage and Transport of Bulk and Powder Materials Symas and the International Fair for Maintenance, Planning and Optimization of Production Maintenance are among the most specialized industrial events in Poland. They are held in parallel, creating a joint platform for presenting technologies for modern production plants that use advanced systems for transporting and processing bulk materials as well as solutions for machine reliability and process optimization. The organizers emphasize that combining both events makes it possible to take a comprehensive look at the process chain in an industrial plant, from the reception and processing of raw materials, through storage and internal logistics, to maintenance and production planning in line with the Industry 4.0 concept. The fairs are addressed to representatives of many sectors, including the chemical, food, energy, steel, cement, pharmaceutical and construction industries, who are looking for solutions to increase efficiency, safety and operational stability of installations.
Thematic scope of the Symas fair
Symas focuses on comprehensive solutions for companies working with bulk and powder materials. The event brings together machinery manufacturers, system integrators and technology suppliers supporting production and logistics processes in plants processing bulk raw materials and components.
The thematic scope of the Symas fair includes in particular the processing and treatment of bulk and powder materials, including equipment for crushing, mixing, homogenizing and conditioning raw materials. Solutions for mechanical and pneumatic conveying are presented, such as conveyors, feeders, pipeline systems and loading and unloading installations. An important part of the exhibition consists of storage technologies, silos and loading and unloading systems, designed with operational safety and control of process parameters in mind.
The fair also covers systems for sorting, separation and milling, which make it possible to adapt material properties to the requirements of subsequent processing stages. Participants can learn about solutions for weighing, dosing and packaging bulk materials, which are crucial for recipe accuracy and process repeatability. A key area is quality control and process automation systems, including solutions for flow monitoring, level measurement in silos, contamination detection and integration of process data with production management systems.
Maintenance: plant maintenance and production reliability
In parallel with Symas, the International Fair for Maintenance, Planning and Optimization of Production Maintenance is held. This event focuses on issues related to machine reliability, service planning and minimizing unplanned production line downtime. It is dedicated to technical staff, engineers, production managers and maintenance specialists responsible for ensuring the continuity of installations.
The thematic scope of the Maintenance fair includes solutions to prevent unplanned downtime, such as systems for diagnostics and monitoring of machine condition, tools for analyzing vibration, temperature or load, as well as technologies enabling early detection of component wear. Concepts and tools for predictive and preventive maintenance are presented, aimed at planning service interventions before failures occur.
An important part of the offer is systems for service planning and asset management, which support recording data on equipment condition, repair and inspection history and optimization of work schedules. Exhibitors also present solutions in the areas of digitalization, automation and production optimization, which enable integration of data from various systems, analysis of performance indicators and implementation of Industry 4.0 standards in the maintenance area.
A platform for multiple industries and knowledge exchange
Symas and Maintenance attract representatives of various industrial sectors, including chemical, food, energy, steel, cement, pharmaceutical and construction industries. The presence of these sectors reflects the wide application of technologies related to bulk material processing and maintenance in modern production and logistics chains.
The organizers emphasize that the event functions not only as a technology exhibition, but also as a space for the exchange of knowledge, experience and establishment of business relations. The fairs serve as a reference point for companies that aim to increase operational efficiency, reduce costs and implement solutions in line with the Industry 4.0 concept. Suppliers of machines and systems, integrators, service providers and end users meet in one place, which promotes confronting the practical needs of plants with the possibilities offered by the market.
Symas and Maintenance are aimed at people looking for specific, implementable technologies and tools that can be used in existing installations or in the design of new production lines. For companies from the plastics and packaging industry, particularly relevant are solutions related to pneumatic and mechanical conveying of granulates and powders, dosing and packaging systems, as well as tools for monitoring the condition of injection moulding machines, extruders and peripheral equipment.
