Products Supplied

Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) with Cone Valve technology:

Matcon IBCs are used to process, store and transport bulk material solids, powders, granules, and tablets. With our unique Matcon Cone Valve technology featured within each IBC, material transfer is guaranteed, and issues such as mix segregation, containment and bridging are overcome.

Each IBC is manufactured with no enclosed crevices or hollow sections that could trap products or contaminants, which enables them to meet the highest hygiene and safety requirements.

The Cone Valve IBC enables the creation of an efficient manufacturing system by simply decoupling fixed mixers to improve capacity and create a multi-batch, multi-mixer arrangement.

We understand that the success of our clients depends on the ability to adjust quickly to changing customer trends. To keep up with current demands, we are providing modular systems solutions that are designed to be flexible and customisable.

Available in sizes between 200L and 3500 L, units are manufactured from 316L or 304 stainless steel or a polyethene bottle supported in a steel framework (application dependent).

Exclusively for use with the Matcon range of IBC Filling, Blending, Discharge and Washing Systems.

Formulation Systems:

The Sack Tip module provides a simple method to transfer powdered material from sacks into Matcon IBCs, with minimal dust exposure.

The 'Flexi-Batch' IBC Formulation System offers a fast means of automatically batching ingredients with high degrees of accuracy. The contained design means multiple recipes can be handled simultaneously.

Mixing and Blending Systems:

Mixing of ingredients takes place directly within the IBC, so rapid batch changeovers are easily achieved as there is no requirement to clean the Blender.

High shear blending with the supplementary Intensifier extends the mixing capabilities to handle single-stage mixing. The liquid addition system has the ability to deliver liquids between 5-150 litres.

This reduces the manual handling requirements within the process and improves containment, further enhancing the benefits of IBC Blending.
