Networking at the event went beyond the mere exchange of business cards. Our conversations were fruitful, fostering deep discussions that connected the dots between the technological potential and real-world applications across diverse industry sectors.

Here's an inside look at the products that stole the spotlight:

Pilot Scale Blender: Your Gateway to Versatility

Stepping into uncharted territories? Our Pilot Scale Blender is not merely new; it is a revolution. Tailored for operations handling high-value, low-volume items, it's the perfect companion for manufacturers exploring diverse product ranges. Fostering the spirit of experimentation, this blending marvel promises flawless mixing, cost-efficiency, and ease of use.

Advantages of the Pilot Scale Blender

  • Precise Mixing of High-Value Products
  • Expedited Experimentation for New Recipe Formulations

High Shear Intensifier: Power Tool for Full-Scale Blending

Presenting the High Shear Intensifier, set to redefine IBC blending. This powerful addition dramatically improves the blending process, introducing the dynamics of high-shear mixing. The result? A more cohesive blend with the added possibility of single-stage mixing. This tool is more than just a game changer; it represents a complete paradigm shift for battery manufacturers delving into powder fibrillation.

Why High Shear Matters

Liquid Addition: Precision, No Compromise

Precision is non-negotiable in manufacturing. At Matcon, we understand this, which is why we introduce Liquid Addition, an automatic system enabling the injection of liquids directly into the powder mix within the IBC. It's a paradigm shift, eliminating the need for manual intervention and capitalising on operational efficiency.

The Liquid Addition Advantage

  • Timely Liquid Incorporation
  • Reduced Risk of Cross-Contamination
  • Enhanced Process Efficiency
  • Improved Product Quality

Air Washing: A Zero-Compromise Solution

Hygiene and contamination control are critical, especially when handling sensitive products. Our Dry IBC Washing System exemplifies our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness without the need to remove the Cone Valve.

Why Our Dry Washing is Superior

  • Complete Inside Wash and Dry off the IBC
  • Eliminates the Need to Remove the Cone Valve
