Matcon, a division of IDEX MPT, Inc. has been a global leader in providing systems for the efficient and flexible handling of powders, granules and tablets since 1980. Based around portable containers (Intermediate Bulk Containers or IBCs) for batch powder processing, 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 Infant Nutrition, Food, Pharmaceutical and Chemical industries.
