Powder Handling Equipment for the Chemical Industry

Our systems handle the most challenging of powders and materials commonly used in extremely high-tech chemical environments.

Your Challenges

No matter what the end product, a common need is for safety, containment, efficient mixing and maintaining blend homogeneity.

The very difficult-flowing nature of many ultra-fine metal powders and friction materials makes them problematic to handle.

Our Experience

Our solutions have been very diverse including systems for the formulation of refractory materials, dosing specialty ingredients for revolutionary flooring, as well as handling metal powders.

How we can help

The automatic, dust-free powder handling provided by our IBC system is particularly beneficial where the individual components are potentially dangerous for operators during critical processes.

The unique Cone Valve technology within each IBC can handle practically any type of powder, even metal powders.

Our Approach

Our equipment designs have provided superior powder handling capabilities for our customers, which in turn has given them an edge on Operational Excellence.

Materials Handling Systems for Chemical Powders

Matcon specialises in supplying IBC systems with Cone Valve technology for powder handling and processing in the chemical industry. Our powder handling systems and equipment are proven to help control powders that are difficult to handle. Especially those commonly used in the production of plastics and metals.

System Modules

The Matcon system uses stainless steel Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) to transport powders between manufacturing steps and as the blending vessel.

As all of your materials contained within the IBC, there is no clean-down of the blender between recipe changes, which gives you increased flexibility and safety in your operation.

No waiting for formulation.

Fill IBCs off-line for improved efficiency.

Blend

Mix any recipe, any time.

Eliminate time-consuming cleaning for instant recipe changeovers.

Pack

Prevent mix segregation.

Use the IBC Cone Valve for right first time, every time production.

Clean

Hygienic design for quick cleaning.

No system down-time with off-line cleaning of IBCs.
