Innovative technology eliminates powder handling issues and improves process efficiency

As a leading supplier of process machinery and equipment in Canada, Firing Industries offers a comprehensive lineup of technically complex products from some of the top manufacturers in the industry. One of the suppliers it represents is Matcon, a company that specializes in providing Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) systems for efficient and flexible powder, granule and tablet processing.

Cutting-edge technology

Matcon is known for its IBC systems, which include a unique cone valve technology. This cone-shaped valve enables the automatic and controlled discharge of virtually any powder type by eliminating such common powder handling issues as bridging, rat-holing, segregation and degradation. This technology stimulates cohesive materials to flow, while controlling free-flowing powders. The result is increased productivity and process efficiency, and improved product quality.

The system also enables multiple recipes to be produced, and batch traceability.

Ideal markets

Matcon has a worldwide presence, and has delivered solutions for manufacturers across many industries, from the infant nutrition and food sector to pharmaceutical and chemical markets. Any customer seeking lean and efficient powder processing or the lean handling of powders, granules and tablets, can benefit from Matcon’s IBC systems and cone valve technology.
