Enhance Your Powder Handling Capabilities

Are you a contract manufacturer handling powders?

If your key processes include blending, bulk powder handling, and powder processing for nutraceuticals, sports nutrition, vitamins, or food flavourings, we can improve your process.

A Matcon IBC-based manufacturing system is proven to reduce downtime and increase production throughput, enabling the safe handling of multiple ingredients containing allergens. Give your customers confidence in your ability to produce consistently, safely, and deliver a finished product that fits their specifications.

Read on to discover the benefits of contained tumble blending and Cone Valve IBCs. See how our solutions are designed to enhance the powder handling capabilities of contract manufacturers with:

Rapid recipe changeovers
Effective allergen handling
Make-to-order without compromising on quality

We Understand Powders

We understand that contract manufacturers face challenges with powder recipe mixing due to expanding product lines and quality demands in response to consumer demands.

With traditional manufacturing methods, frequent recipe changes reduce production time, and handling sticky, poor-flowing ingredients can be difficult.

This is why we offer an innovative and reliable powder blending solution designed for modern contract manufacturing. With features that ensure efficient processing, versatile recipe management, and rigorous quality control, our systems are engineered to meet your operational needs without compromise.

If you need support with your powders, or wanted to discuss some ideas, then please contact our team.

How does an IBC Blender Compare?

IBC blending vs traditional ribbon and paddle blenders.

View our system comparison video to see how a Matcon approach delivers a higher ROI than a traditional fixed-line mixer system.

In competitive industries, you must have a manufacturing system that provides you with the ability to manufacture multiple batches efficiently and safely.

If you can change recipes, clean down, and run other batches simultaneously, you will not only keep pace with a demanding marketplace but remain one step ahead of your competition.

How a Contract Manufacturer Doubled Production Rates

The Matcon team has many years of extensive global experience working with contract manufacturers. One clear example we can share involves a manufacturer of sports and nutraceutical products. In this case, our engineers identified and solved seven common challenges:

Reducing manual handling
Enabling scalable growth potential
Reducing equipment downtime with offline cleaning
Increased Product Flexibility
Rapid recipe changeovers
Effective allergen handling

Following the implementation of a Matcon powder handling system, the manufacturer calculated the effectiveness of their old process using a Ribbon blender and compared it to the new Matcon IBC system:

Testimonials

Discover Why Sports Nutrition Manufacturers Choose to Work With Us

“Without a Matcon System we would not have achieved the significant business growth experienced in the last few years.”

“At True Protein, we create the best tasting protein powders, health and performance foods, and to achieve this, we go to great lengths to select the very best ingredients from around the globe. It goes without saying that we apply the same principles when sourcing machinery for our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. We believe Matcon is the world’s best blending system.”

“The Matcon IBC Blending System allows us to blend much
larger batches than our previous system, providing significantly increased efficiency due to reduced batch preparation, cleaning and blending times.”

Why Choose Matcon?

We understand the challenges faced by contract manufacturers.

Your Challenges

Expanding portfolios result in many changeovers, which significantly impact on available production time.
Sport and nutraceutical powders are notoriously difficult to handle, being sticky and poor flowing. New plant proteins are likely to be even more so.
Increasingly, recipes contain allergens, which means even more time spent in thorough clean-downs.

How We Can Help

A system designed to optimise production flow is what we do. All process steps occur simultaneously for maximum efficiency.
The unique Cone Valve in each IBC protects the blend and provides assured discharge, even on sticky mixes.
In-bin blending reduces downtime for changeovers and removes the risk of cross-contamination for sports nutrition manufacturers.
