Sports nutrition manufacturers must now produce an ever-expanding portfolio of products. This often means multiple recipe changeovers, which can impact production efficiency and output.
As the product portfolio expands, so does the list of ingredients needed for your recipes. Many of the powders handled in sports nutrition, such as protein powders can be difficult to process in bulk as they are sticky and therefore poor flowing.
Allergen cross-contaminating is also a serious risk as recipe changeovers increase. This could mean you are spending more time cleaning.
Matcon systems are designed to
Our Cone Valve, unique in design and contained within each Matcon IBC ensures your materials are discharged correctly following the blending process.
Using IBCs for ‘In-bin blending’ will reduce the amount of downtime that is caused by cleaning and also remove the risks associated with handling multiple ingredients. There will be no longer be the need to worry about cross-contamination.
A Matcon IBC system is suitable for all sizes of Sports Nutrition Manufacturers from start-ups to leading market providers. We are proud to supply market leaders in sports nutrition across the globe with a range of IBC systems.
In the competitive sports nutrition industry, you must have a manufacturing system that provides you with the ability to manufacture multiple batches - efficiently and safely. If you have the ability to change recipes, clean down and run other batches simultaneously, then you will not only keep pace with a demanding marketplace but remain one step ahead of your competition.
View our short film to see how a Matcon system compares with a traditional fixed-line mixer system. Both are producing the same recipes and batch sizes but the time savings are obvious.

With market growth comes increased competition and wider product variety, as both garage entrepreneurs and leading sports nutrition manufactures look to secure market share. Those manufactures looking to scale up production need the correct manufacturing equipment that will help them manufacture their products in a cost-effective way. Whether you are a start-up or established provider you can benefit from lean manufacturing by increasing production, reducing waste and ultimately maximizing profit.
As most producers now manufacture and deliver products covering everything from energy gels to protein powders, fast effective changeovers are needed. Regular recipe changes and varied batch sizes can be large a
The thought of long-term production efficiency is not always something to think about when you are starting out. As your products succeed and you experience growth the marketplace becomes more competitive. Those manufacturers that want to scale up their manufacturing efforts will soon find that their material handling and powder processing equipment is an area that needs attention.
Small-scale sports nutrition manufacturers can grow quickly and with that production output and efficiency must improve. To ensure that your business gains a competitive advantage, there are some main factors. Ask you grow you will need to consider where you will store ingredients and what additional powders you will be handling as part of the manufacturing process. Whatever the product, it is always worth having expert advice from an experienced solutions provider for the sports nutrition industry.
Scaling up your production can be difficult, especially when you only have limited factory space and investment. That's when IBCs give you an advantage, ensuring that you increase flexibility and adapt as consumer preferences and demand changes.
Increasing output and efficiency without losing quality will keep you ahead in a competitive market place.
With such a wide range of customers, requirements and demands a flexible solution is a must.

To help you discover cost savings at the industrial mixing stage, we have developed an easy to use ROI Calculator.
To use the calculator you will need to enter a few simple values which will enable you to calculate the ROI that a tumble blending process will deliver.
If you had the ability to reduce the time you have to spend cleaning and increase the time you can be in production then your output will improve.
We estimate that some manufacturers using fixed mixers (ribbon blenders or paddle blenders) could lose at least 20% of the shift to cleaning time. As the blender must be fully cleaned and dried before changing recipes your whole production process must be halted.
Read our guide to increase efficiency and ensure your resource time is spent producing high volumes of quality products and not cleaning and assembling a blender.
