"Inclusion of the Matcon IBC blending system has increased the range and quality of pre-mixes we can offer to our customers whilst retaining our high quality assurance standards. By being able to offer this flexible approach the use of Matcon equipment has provided us with a strong advantage over our competitors.

We have been very impressed with Matcon’s service from the testing stage to the installation and appreciate their ongoing high level of service and support." 

Rod Prince, International and Pet Business Director,
Trouw Nutrition GB

"Alimenta is a supplier to the Norwegian food industry. We started up with blending and packing with Matcon powder processing system in 2010. Since then we have produced thousands of tons every year. We are very satisfied with the durability, the efficiency, the accuracy and the flexibility that the Matcon system gives"

Morten Anderson, General Manager,
Alimenta AS, Norway

"Our investment in Matcon’s equipment and expertise to-date has provided a 100% improvement in efficiency due to being able to run our mixer and packing lines in parallel, rather than sequentially. Cleaning, change over and down time of our blender has been dramatically reduced providing a quicker throughput for each product.

This reduction of throughput time has provided us with the opportunity to increase our packing capability. We are therefore shortly due to replace our existing packing machines with a Matcon Powder Packer to simplify and speed up our packing operation. This will also minimise any contamination risk during the packing."
