API Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Solutions

Our IBCs have the unique ability to handle the solvent-rich ‘wet cake’ solids between the centrifuge and drying processes, as well as the powders before reaction and after drying. This enables the contents of any reactor to be transferred to any dryer using our IBCs.

It is this flexibility of production, combined with the ability to discharge a wide range of API bulk solids that has made Matcon the choice for many major pharmaceutical API companies.

We acknowledge that the structure of API systems can vary and tend to be quite bespoke.  If you’re interested in finding out what we have to offer, then please do get in touch.
