In a year where manufacturers have faced many challenges, Matcon was proud to be a reliable partner, ensuring that our customers never had to compromise on quality or productivity.
Throughout 2023, we remained unwavering in our commitment to product development and industry-leading technology solutions. It is this dedication that enabled us to support our valued customers through another turbulent year.
As we reflect on the year gone by, let's dive into some key moments that defined Matcon's journey in 2023:
Unveiling the Pilot Scale Blender
One of the year's most exciting developments has been the in-house design of Matcon’s Pilot Scale Blender. This innovative solution caters to manufacturers seeking a dependable method to mix high-value, low-volume products and experiment with new recipe formulations.
The Pilot Scale Blender offers engineers an ideal platform for formulating and optimising recipes and empowers process owners to expand their product range, meet niche market demands and drive business growth, all while ensuring cost efficiency.
With credit to the continuous innovation and development from the Matcon team, there is now an efficient and effective way to blend low-volume powders and experiment with test recipes.
Matcon IBC Systems: Your Ally in Adversity
Our Matcon Cone Valve IBC (Intermediate Bulk Container) systems have continued to pave the way as game-changers in the industry, foregrounding the two pillars of manufacturing success - efficiency and overheads.
The essence of their success lies in the power of decoupling; transforming production lines into a hub of simultaneous activities. This ensures that manufacturing is in constant flow, thanks to the use of independent, portable IBCs, each covering a different manufacturing process - from filling, blending, dispensing, to cleaning, gearing up to re-join in rotation.
The merits of our decoupled powder handling systems, however, extend beyond mere increased capacity. They significantly reduce cross-contamination risk by keeping ingredients sealed within an IBC throughout the manufacturing process. The adoption of our IBCs also results in less cleaning time, allowing for offline cleaning of containers, as well as minimising product waste by mitigating the risks associated with human error.
What truly sets our powder handling systems apart is their modular design, which allows for expansion and capacity addition as per your business's growth requirements. We also ensure the efficient use of your investment by integrating expensive existing equipment like blenders into the workflow. Companies adopting our IBC systems have seen significant reductions in waste and improvements in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), yielding not only substantial cost savings but also lessening the environmental impact - a remarkable achievement for manufacturers looking to stay ahead in a challenging year.
