The most popular pharmaceutical processes Matcon is asked to provide:

  • Powder Handling - IBCs come in a range of sizes, from 50L to 3500L. Our unique Cone Valve provides you with a reliable way to feed your powders and granules to tablet compression or roller compaction.
  • Tablet handling - did you know that a single IBC will do the same job as multiple drums? IBCs also provide fast, automated filling capabilities.
  • API - Cone Valve IBCs ensure that solvent rich, 'wet cake' solids are handled with care between the centrifuge and drying processes, which means your product does not degrade at any stage of the manufacturing process.

How do Matcon solutions solve the traditional powder & tablet handling challenges?

  • IBCs are provided in a range of sizes to meeting your needs.
  • Matcon’s unique Cone Valve technology overcomes the typical powder handling problems such as bridging, rat-holing and segregation.
  • Our IBC systems provide superior discharge capabilities compared to butterfly valve containers, whether you’re handling free-flowing or cohesive materials.
  • Contained and dust-tight materials handling means that your working environment remains safe and your materials are not contaminated during the manufacturing process.
