Finding new ways to improve efficiency and decrease overheads are key to the..
We supply world-leading IBCs for the processing, storage and transport of bulk material solids, powders, granules, and tablets.
Our unique Cone Valve technology within each IBC prevents the traditional powder handling issues of bridging, blocking and blend segregation.
Matcon has a range of IBC solutions for effective powder containment, transfer and processing, all designed to meet the demands of your industry.
Designed to meet the highest hygiene and safety requirements, Matcon Intermediate Bulk Containers are manufactured with no enclosed crevices or hollow sections that could trap product or contaminants.
Efficient and dust-tight, they provide a system that lives up to the most rigorous of standards.
The Matcon Cone Valve IBC is manufactured from 316L stainless steel or 304 stainless steel, dependent upon the application.
Our S series IBCs are manufactured in stainless steel with a surface finish to meet your requirements.
Our unique Cone Valve technology within each IBC prevents the traditional powder handling issues of bridging, blocking, and blend segregation.
Suitable for blending, storage and transportation of powder mixes, the range offers contained dust-tight powder handling.
Each IBC is manufactured with no enclosed crevices or hollow sections that could trap products or contaminants, which enables them to meet the highest hygiene and safety requirements.
The range of stainless steel IBCs includes:
300 - 500 Litres - Small IBC for smaller batch sizes or testing purposes.
1,000 - 2,000 Litres - Most commonly used range of IBC batch sizes.
2,500 - 3,500 Litres - Large scale IBC to match larger batch requirements
The Matcon Cone Valve IBC enables the creation of an efficient manufacturing system; from the simple decoupling of fixed mixers to improve capacity, to creating a multi-batch, multi-mixer arrangement.
Our unique Cone Valve technology sits within each IBC and prevents the traditional powder handling issues of bridging, blocking, and blend segregation.
With complete and controlled discharge processes our IBCs can dose to target weights thereby negating the need for ancillary feeders.
Being fully contained and offering dust-free handling there is no risk of cross-contamination, which means our systems are safely used in allergen handling factories.
The easy to clean, hygienic design means that cleaning is thorough and reduces the risk of contaminants re-entering the workflow.
Efficient handling of tablets and capsules in bulk.
Matcon’s gentle Tablet Handling system enables efficient handling of tablets and capsules. Whilst, at the same time, the effectiveness of tablet coating, printing, inspection, and packing processes are optimized.
Central to this system is the Tablet IBC with its unique pharmaceutical grade polyethylene construction, tablet spiral, and gentle opening Cone Valve - all designed to avoid tablet damage or breakage.
An alternative to stainless steel IBCs the Matcon range of polyethylene Cone Valve IBCs is suitable for blending, storage, and transportation of powder materials.
Fitted with the same Cone Valve technology as the stainless steel range, powders are discharged under mass-flow discharge to prevent segregation of mix. Other powder handling issues of bridging and blocking are also overcome.
Achieve accurate, controlled, and contained discharge of materials.
Access our range of articles and technical videos with best practices for powder and bulk materials handling.
Discover flexible and agile systems for powder and bulk materials using Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs).
Increase manufacturing efficiency and eliminate waste with decoupled parallel processing.
Using decoupled processing using Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) to transport powders between manufacturing steps, blending to discharging and packing.
Matcon IBCs are efficient, dust-tight powder containers, manufactured to the highest standards for all industry applications.
Formulate powder recipes directly to IBCs with accurate, automated filling and add into your batch processing flow as required.
Mix powder recipes of all sizes any time using an IBC Tumble Blender. Improve loading times, cleaning and remove bottlenecks.
Accurately discharge your powder-based products without segregation. Optimise throughput with automated, packing solutions.
Over the years we have seen a wide range of different powder types and production issues that our Cone Valve technology has been able to overcome. This gives us the confidence to believe we can handle any challenge you wish to put to us.
