Would you like to have the ability to automatically and in a controlled way, discharge virtually any powder type in your facility? With this innovative equipment either integrated into your existing process or as a new system set-up, you will be able to maintain a homogenous blend through to packing. In addition, sealed, mobile Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) give you shorter change over time and reduced cleaning between shifts. This all increases your ROI.
With the use of our technology within your powder handling system, you can future-proof your assembly line.
If you need to produce high volumes of the same products, then a continuous, automated processing line may suit your facility. However be aware that this type of system can be hard to clean and if a recipe changeover is required, then it is likely that the whole line will need to be shut down, taken apart, cleaned and then given time to dry before re-assembly.
Using Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) as part of a Tumble Blending System will allow you to perform multiple recipe changeovers through a traditional shift and reduce the risk of cross-contamination. The tumble blending approach uses the IBC as the blending vessel, therefore the powder ingredients are not in contact with blades or paddles. The recipe is also fully contained to stop dust and wasted product.
As the IBC is used to blend all ingredients, the blender does not need to be cleaned as part of the changeover, saving you valuable production time. Once each IBC is blended, it can be taken from the blender and moved onto the next production stage.
Cone Valve Technology overcomes a variety of powder handling problems from bridging, rat-holing, and blockages to segregation and core flow. They provide an automatic and controlled discharge of virtually any powder type through an integral cone vibration system. Every type of powder can flow smoothly and cohesively, giving you ultimate control of your discharge process.
In order for us to get the full picture of your materials, equipment, and existing processes, we can carry out full-scale testing at one of our global testing facilities, before combining all the essential features of our modular systems to create the perfect production line. When in place and running, you can also choose to take advantage of our maintenance plans to keep your equipment in optimum condition ensuring that it consistently runs as smoothly as your powders flow.
