Matcon specialise in delivering powder processing solutions using Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) for manufacturers in a broad range of market sectors including food, nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals.
Whilst the products you produce might be very different, the issues you can face can be very similar, whether that be in manufacturing processes and the production line, or in handling and processing powders.
Companies Matcon Work With
Matcon has a worldwide presence and has supplied powder processing equipment and systems
solutions for a broad range of manufacturers globally.
Here are just a few of the companies Matcon has helped.

What is a Cone Valve?
Matcon IBCs have a ‘passive’ cone seated within the outlet of the powder containers. When located on the discharge station an ‘active’ probe assembly lifts the cone which creates an annular gap causing powder material to discharge from the IBC under mass-flow.
Why it is Important
The Cone Valve is a superb discharging device overcoming all manner of powder flow problems. The lifting action of the cone breaks up bridged powders and prevents material from rat-holing and causing blend segregation or separation.
Our Approach
Matcon IBC systems help customers innovate and stay ahead of their competition.
We work in partnership with you to create the right system designed to fulfil your business needs and bring you a long-term return on your investment.
The experiences we gain in one industry field are transferred across to the others. In fact, we have seen such a wide range of different powder types and production issues that we feel we can handle anything you would like to challenge Matcon with.
