Matcon, a division of IDEX MPT, Inc. are a global leader in providing systems for the efficient and flexible handling of powders, granules, and tablets. Based on portable containers (Intermediate Bulk Containers or IBCs) for batch powder formulation, mixing and packing, our solutions are designed for production environments required to cope with varying order sizes, widening product portfolios and more stringent regulations.
Central to our IBC technology is the Cone Valve, offering automatic and controlled discharge of virtually any powder type. Cohesive materials are stimulated to flow, whilst free-flowing powders are controlled. Our Cone Valve has continually proven to overcome the traditional powder handling issues of bridging, rat-holing, segregation, and degradation.
With a diverse customer portfolio encompassing both national and multi-national companies, our powder handling solutions have been successfully delivered to a wide range of manufacturers, including those in the Food, Nutrition, Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Battery and Plant-based industries.
Products Supplied
- Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) with Cone Valve technology:
- Matcon IBCs are used to process, store and transport bulk material solids, powders, granules, and tablets. With our unique Matcon Cone Valve technology featured within each IBC, material transfer is guaranteed, and issues such as mix segregation, containment and bridging are overcome.
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 Cone Valve IBC enables the creation of an efficient manufacturing system by simply decoupling fixed mixers to improve capacity and create a multi-batch, multi-mixer arrangement.
We understand that the success of our clients depends on the ability to adjust quickly to changing customer trends. To keep up with current demands, we are providing modular systems solutions that are designed to be flexible and customisable.
Available in sizes between 200L and 3500 L, units are manufactured from 316L or 304 stainless steel or a polyethene bottle supported in a steel framework (application dependent).
Exclusively for use with the Matcon range of IBC Filling, Blending, Discharge and Washing Systems. - Formulation Systems:
- The Sack Tip module provides a simple method to transfer powdered material from sacks into Matcon IBCs, with minimal dust exposure.
The 'Flexi-Batch' IBC Formulation System offers a fast means of automatically batching ingredients with high degrees of accuracy. The contained design means multiple recipes can be handled simultaneously. - Mixing and Blending Systems:
- Mixing of ingredients takes place directly within the IBC, so rapid batch changeovers are easily achieved as there is no requirement to clean the Blender.
High shear blending with the supplementary Intensifier extends the mixing capabilities to handle single-stage mixing. The liquid addition system has the ability to deliver liquids between 5-150 litres.
This reduces the manual handling requirements within the process and improves containment, further enhancing the benefits of IBC Blending. - Pilot Scale Blender
- Introducing the Pilot Scale Blender – a revolutionary tool for business innovators, engineering professionals, and R&D departments seeking to validate their powder formula concepts. Designed by Matcon's team of powder-handling specialists, this blender offers a compact yet potent mixing solution for low-volume batches, delivering precise and reliable results.
This state-of-the-art blender comes with a high-shear mixing feature, elevating the efficiency and quality of your recipes. The seamless scalability ensures consistent product quality, reflecting the same design principles that Matcon’s full-scale production equipment adheres to.
Enhance your manufacturing capabilities further with the integration of a MicroNIR Spectrometer into the Pilot Scale Blender. This feature provides an in-depth understanding of blend homogeneity, adding another layer of value to your operations.
The Pilot Scale Blender comes with the IBCs available in 100L and 200L volumes. Each IBC is equipped with a Matcon Manual Cone Valve, ensuring mass-flow discharge of powders during the blending process. This sophisticated system guarantees the preservation of your blended powders' quality and integrity.
For those seeking a dependable solution to experiment with new recipes and develop high-value, low-volume products, the Pilot Scale Blender from Matcon is the perfect choice. Experience the perfect blend of reliability, precision, and innovation with Matcon's Pilot Scale Blender. - Packing Systems:
- Matcon offers a range of packing solutions. The Powder Packer module is designed to fill B2B sacks directly from Matcon IBCs.
The Packing Line Refill module feeds straight to FMCG packing systems.
The unique Cone Valve technology provides a controlled discharge process and creates mass flow discharge of material, protecting against product segregation, and ensuring a high-quality product every time. - Washing Systems:
- A full range of IBC Washing equipment is available, from simple Wash Lances to fully validatable, recipe-driven Wash Booths.
Air Washing systems are also offered, proving useful for applications posing a waterborne bacteriological risk such as milk powders.
