You CAN have Flexibility AND Increase Production As today’s consumers demand..
Matcon in-bin blending powder mixer systems ensure that your materials are mixed effectively and your operation becomes more efficient with reduced cleaning downtime.
Industrial powder mixing using IBC Tumble Blending delivers the following benefits:
Container mixing has long been established as an efficient and effective way to blend bulk materials such as powders and granules.
Rapid batch changeovers are easily achieved with the Matcon IBC Tumble Blender. There is no need to clean down the Blender as the ingredients are fully contained within the IBC, making lengthy product changeovers a thing of the past.
Whilst one IBC is being blended, the next can be filled which means there is no need to stop mixing, enabling parallel processing. Fast, efficient powder handling.
Achieve high overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) rates as IBCs are formulated and discharged separately from the blending process.
With a Matcon IBC Blender, you can mix any recipe any time, making your manufacturing production more efficient and flexible.
As the IBC is the blending vessel, loading, unloading and cleaning time is greatly reduced. The IBC filling and emptying processes take place independent of the blender and there is no downtime for cleaning or risk of cross-contamination.
If you need to blend a variety of batches then an IBC blender will enable you to efficiently manufacture a wide range of recipes and batch sizes.
The system is always blending providing high OEE – filling, emptying, and cleaning is done offline.
In-bin blending for instant recipe changeovers without risk of contamination.
Better batch capability means that you can manufacture a wider range of batch sizes.
Intensifier package expands blending capability, including liquid addition.
Modular solution: factory assembled, proven design, low risk.
The Matcon Intensifier introduces high shear mixing to the IBC blending process and expands blending capabilities.
More cohesive powders can be blended and single-stage bakery mixing is possible.
The Intensifier is the ideal solution where the addition of liquid is required for a recipe.
By adding a high shear cutter to the Matcon Blender, recipes can be mixed and materials dispersed which will not blend by flow alone, enabling liquid fats to be incorporated and more cohesive powders to be processed and agglomerated lumps removed.
Using an IBC Blender will eliminate inefficient cleaning practices associated with traditional static mixers.
Expand the range of IBC powder blending.
High shear cutter blades are easily added.
Air-purged Intensifier option for high sugar content recipes.
Cleaning 'offline' significantly reduces mixer downtime.
Easy to load and unload with handling trolley.
Mix liquid fats efficiently in single-stage blending.
Efficiently disperse micro-ingredients ensuring a quality final product.
High shear without heat build-up – particles are blended without degradation to achieve a quality final product.
Efficient cleaning off-line with cleaning trolley.
A revolutionary development to expand the range of IBC powder blending to increase efficiency and reduce risks.
Automatically inject liquids directly into a powder mix, enclosed within an Intermediate Bulk Container during its blender rotation cycle, without manual intervention or the need to open the blending vessel.
Use Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to identify when a mix is homogenous.
