Valves for bulk powder flow control
In industries handling bulk powder materials, challenges like bridging, ratholing, and segregation can significantly impact efficiency and product quality. Reliable flow control mechanisms are essential to overcome these issues, ensuring consistent and controlled discharge of powders during processing.
Enhance powder flow control and prevent segregation
The Cone Valve by Matcon Limited is a sophisticated discharge and flow device designed to handle a wide range of powders and bulk materials. This innovative technology not only addresses typical powder handling problems but also ensures a controlled and homogeneous discharge process. The Cone Valve’s design promotes mass-flow discharge with a ‘first-in first-out’ operation, maintaining the integrity of blended materials. It can be configured with variable lift heights and vibration levels, effectively stimulating cohesive powders and preventing particle segregation. Made from 316L stainless steel, it is suitable for almost any industry, including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food processing. The internal pneumatic vibrator aids in the smooth flow of materials, while the actuator driven by compressed air provides precise control.
Benefits
- Prevents powder bridging and ratholing
