We supply powder handling equipment for fully integrated IBC systems covering powders handling from Formulation through Blending and on to Packing and Cleaning.
All modules are stand-alone, so can easily be expanded.
This flexible system is all you need for efficient bulk materials processing, across multiple industry applications
The Matcon system is based on using powder containers to transport batches safely between the common manufacturing steps - filling, mixing, discharging and cleaning.
By decoupling the manufacturing steps we enable manufacturers to achieve a flexible, and efficient powder manufacturing system.
Whether you are upgrading an existing pharmaceutical facility or designing a new one, it is essential to consider the impact of materials handling on the overall performance of your plant.
The Original Cone Valve IBC Manufacturers
At the heart of the Matcon powder containers, you will find Cone Valve Technology - invented, patented and developed by us.
We use it to help manufacturers overcome issues of powder mix segregation, containment and bridging that are inherent in the traditional powder handling systems.
Matcon IBCs have a ‘passive’ cone seated within the outlet of the powder containers. When located on the discharge station an ‘active’ probe assembly lifts the cone which creates and annular gap causing material to discharge under mass-flow.
It is a superb discharging device overcoming all manner of powder flow problems. The lifting action of the cone breaks up bridged product and prevents material from rat-holing and causing material segregation.
Our systems help customers innovate and stay ahead of the competition.
The Cone Valve technology means that no matter what you might want to manufacture in the future, you will have the ability to handle the ingredients and recipes effectively – a future-proof solution!
We work in partnership with you to create the right system designed to fulfil your business needs.
Over the years we have seen a wide range of different powder types and production issues that our Cone Valve technology has been able to overcome. This gives us the confidence to believe we can handle any challenge you wish to put to us.
