Matcon Manual IBC Cone Valve (MCV) – solving powder flow issues with Butterfly Valve IBCs

The original Cone Valve inventor and renowned for their innovative Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) Systems, Matcon have launched a new product to their range – the Manual Cone Valve (MCV). This device has been designed specifically to assist companies in the Food, Beverage and Chemical sectors who experience problems with butterfly valve or slide valve IBCs when handling free-flowing powders.

The manually operated MCV easily overcomes the issues of core flow, particle rolling and mix segregation when handling mixes such as sugar-based drinks powders, 3-in-1 beverage mixes, salt-based food ingredients and washing powders.

A typical example of discharge time achieved when discharging 1,000Kg of salt from a 1,000-litre IBC is only 90 seconds.

Each unit comprises of a valve body with a single-sided arm that supports a cone valve which is raised using a lever handle. Depending on the desired flow rate of powder discharge, the lever can be locked in the open or closed positions, or any intermediate position.

The Manual Cone Valve can be easily retrofitted to any existing flanged IBC outlet, providing a cost-effective way of upgrading your entire IBC fleet with Cone Valve technology.
