Powder handling system for industrial applications
In industries like pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and food production, managing the flow of powders during different manufacturing stages presents specific challenges. Issues such as powder bridging, rat-holing, and segregation can disrupt production and compromise product quality, requiring reliable handling solutions.
Optimize powder flow and containment
The Matcon Powder Handling System is designed to tackle common powder handling issues using its patented Cone Valve Technology. This system includes Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) equipped with a cone valve that ensures consistent discharge of materials. The ‘passive’ cone within the container outlet lifts via an ‘active’ probe assembly on the discharge station to create a mass-flow discharge. This mechanism effectively breaks up bridged product and prevents rat-holing and material segregation, providing a smooth powder handling process. The system is suitable for a wide range of applications including pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. Matcon’s adherence to rigorous quality management, certified under ISO 9001 and manufactured in compliance with EHEDG guidelines and ATEX classifications, ensures the highest standards of safety and performance.
