Bulk Powder Handling Equipment

Discover flexible and agile systems for powder and bulk materials using Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). By decoupling each of the key powder processing stages, these can all take place simultaneously 'in parallel'. This means that your production facility can embrace lean manufacturing and become more efficient.

Powder Handling Equipment

Matcon's powder handling equipment allows you to reduce overproduction and waste, safely transport materials with cross-contamination risks, and improve the effectiveness of your operations.

Powder Formulation Systems

Formulate your recipes directly into Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), using either the Matcon Sack Tip unit or the Flexi-batch system.

Due to the decoupled nature of the Matcon system, recipe batches can be formulated 'offline' and added into the process at any time, removing any bottlenecks and promoting lean manufacturing practices.

Matcon’s recipe formulation equipment is hygienic, safe and contained to remove any cross-contamination risks.

PHS-Blend-01

Powder Blending and Mixing

Highly effective blending of powder with quick cleaning in between batches – achieve high OEE rates with an IBC Industrial Mixer.

The use of IBCs as the blending vessel means faster loading & unloading of the IBC Tumble Blender, along with no cleaning downtime (as the IBCs are cleaned offline), eliminating the wasted time associated with traditional static mixers.

The Matcon IBC Tumble Blender also provides ‘high shear’ capabilities with the intensifier blade, expanding the boundaries of mixing technology.

Liquid Addition is another revolutionary development enabling the addition of liquids during the blender rotation cycle, without manual intervention or the need to open the blending vessel.
