Ibc cleaning equipment for hygienic powder handling
In industries such as food production, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals, maintaining high hygiene standards while handling powders can be a significant challenge. Effective internal cleaning of Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) is crucial to prevent cross-contamination and comply with regulatory standards.

Automate Ibc cleaning with matcon’s wet and air wash modules
The IBC Cleaning Equipment by Matcon Limited offers specialized cleaning solutions for IBCs used in hygienic powder handling. This equipment includes the Wet Wash Module, Air Wash Module, and manual Wash Lance, which deliver comprehensive internal washes of IBCs without the need for valve removal. The Wet Wash Module uses a high-pressure spray lance to distribute water on all internal surfaces, ensuring repeatable and validatable cleaning processes. The Air Wash Module, on the other hand, uses pressurized air to expel powder dust and residues without the risk of waterborne bacterial growth. This is particularly valuable for dealing with dairy and infant nutrition powders. Additionally, the manual Wash Lance offers a flexible and easy-to-use option for industries needing a simple yet effective cleaning mechanism.
