Materials Handling

Discharger Valves

Get control of powder discharge from Silos and Hoppers.

In any manufacturing process, achieving material mass flow is critical to the success and longevity of the operation. Unfortunately, traditional silo geometry, steep or large hopper outlets are not always compatible with achieving consistent manufacturing throughput.

The Matcon Discharge Valve is the ideal solution to deliver controlled bulk discharge!

It can be fitted onto both new or existing containers, while its ability to provide high flow rates ensures maximum efficiency.

Not only does the Matcon Discharger Valve improve material flow, but it also offers a simple and effective way to control the rate of discharge. This means that you can easily match the valve’s performance to your production requirements!

The Discharger Valve Advantage

The Matcon Discharger Valve is designed to handle difficult, cohesive materials.

The cone lifting inside the valve, along with the integral vibration breaks up naturally occurring compaction, to provide powder flow under control.

  • Manufactured from 316L stainless steel it can be used in almost any industry application.

  • Robust and reliable design with easy access panel for maintenance.

  • Easy to install and retrofit to existing silos, hoppers and bins to overcome powder discharge problems.

  • Valve sizes ranging from 500mm to 2.5 metres and acts as both a flow aid and shut-off valve in one.

 

The reliability of bin-and-silo design when it comes to gravity flow has come a long way. Despite this, there are still many bulk powders that do not consistently flow by gravity alone.

These materials include those that are fibrous, spring-like, wet or moist, sticky and tacky, viscoelastic, highly compressible, caking-prone and very fine.

The Matcon Discharger Valve is completely air-operated making it intrinsically safe.

It has no flexible connections and is rigidly bolted between silo and process therefore guaranteeing complete dust tight operation!
