Starting out as a division of Cominco Engineering Services (CESL) in 1989, the company was divided in 1999 to become Bulkflow Technologies. In 2008, the company changed its name to Solex Thermal Science Inc. and have been pioneering technology in the science of heating, cooling, and drying of solids, liquids and gases ever since. Solex's patented solutions can be found globally, with more than 3,000 units implemented in 50-plus countries and counting.
Since 2005, Solex has been cooperating with Chemequip Industries Ltd. in China and has grown to become a global partner.
In 2019, Solex continued to solidify expertise in thermal and bulk materials engineering by joining forces with Netherlands-based Mosman Stainless Steel, a worldwide leader in stainless steel. Made possible through a joint investment by the private equity firm Anders Invest B.V., The merger of the two companies provides customers with made-to-order solutions from an integrated producer of heat exchange technology that has more than 150 years of combined experience.
Solex are also now using that same technology to change the landscape within the global energy transition sector through key collaborations in low-carbon applications such as industrial waste heat recovery and reuse, renewable energy storage, carbon capture and electrification. In 2023, Solex acquired Econotherm Ltd., leading UK-based manufacturer of heat pipe heat exchangers used in diverse, difficult-to-recover waste heat applications such as recuperators, economizers, pre-heaters, steam generators and condensers.
Dear Valued Customers and Partners,
Chemequip Industries Ltd. has been the 22-year global strategic partner and core regional base of Canada’s Solex Thermal Science Inc., with a site area of over 78,000 m². Under prior agreements, we provided full-process solutions for bulk solid heat exchangers (R&D, testing, design, manufacturing, spare parts and services) to customers in China, Southeast Asia, CIS and Middle East, and grown into a regional industry leader with Solex.
We deeply regret that Solex permanently ceased global operations on April 21, 2026. We are actively participating in the acquisition of Solex’s intellectual property and data packages. Regardless of the result, we have fully removed regional sales restrictions and now supply the full Platecoil series globally, including bulk solid heat exchangers, static melt crystallizers and gas heat exchangers, seamlessly taking over all former Solex business and services.
Our core strengths:
1.Global provider of Platecoil heat transfer solutions - not just an OEM.
2.More than 20 years of professional service experience in the global market.
3.Over 2,000 sets of Platecoil series products deployed across the globe.
4.Strong manufacturing capacity with 150+ staff and 10 Platecoil laser welding lines.
5.International team delivering full-process, multilingual cross-border services.
6.Efficient production lines with a lead time as short as 30 days for standard units.
7.Superior cost-effectiveness backed by China's robust manufacturing capabilities.
