Cone Valve Technology

Powder Cone Valve System

A superb discharge device, it overcomes all the typical powder handling and flow problems of bridging, blockages, mix segregation, flushing and core flow that are commonly associated with butterfly valves. It offers automatic and controlled discharge of virtually any powder type, winning where other systems have failed.

Cohesive materials can be stimulated to flow, by virtue of the integral cone vibration at the top of the lifting cycle.

This means no more ‘bin rash’ & hammers to release powder, resulting in improved product integrity and no damage to equipment.

Control Your Powders With Cone Valve Technology

On the other hand, very free-flowing powders can be controlled without the need for additional feeders, by using the variable lift height capability of the valve.

WHY CONE VALVES

Contained Powder Transfer

Dust-free powder and materials handling is achieved because the system remains closed (contained) at all times.

By virtue of the outer 'lip seal' on the discharge station and the 'alpha-beta' coupling mechanism the Matcon powder handling system is closed at all times which helps to contain the product and removes the risk of dust hazards.

Accurate Powder Dosing

Butterfly and Slide-Valve IBCs cannot close effectively once the flow of materials has started. But because the Cone Valve opens & closes vertically it can be shut off at any time to stop the flow of product completely. The valve closes under both gravity and the weight of material overhead, in the direction of powder flow.

Because of this, dosing straight out of the IBC can be achieved to accurate metered feed volumes for batch dosing. This removes the need for secondary screw feeders which can be cumbersome to clean and hold up changeovers.
