Cone Valves -

Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) systems paired with Cone Valve technology

In process-based industries, raw products often come in powdered or granular form. These raw materials come in various types of packaging from small sacks to multi tonne tankers. Ingredient Batching Systems are partners with ISL cone valve technology (the inventors of the cone valve) to supply Intermediate Bulk Container Systems (IBC's) for storage, transfer and discharge of powders.

Cone valves have an integrated system which promotes and controls product flow. When the cone valve is lifted for discharging of the product or blended material, there is systematic discharge of materials to avoid Segregation.

IBC’s when placed on the discharge station have a sealing mechanism that provides a good level of dust containment.

We can also provide high level containment systems for critical powders in pharmaceutical and food industries. When the IBC system is on the discharge station, no further manual intervention is required.

How it Works

IBC's are filled directly from silos, sack tips, big bag discharger or any other process entry means. They are then used for storage or further processing such as 'in bin blending' or discharging in to mixers/ other processing equipment. IBC's are also used to transport product on site or between sites, and if customers have the means to discharge IBC's, then an exchange system can be implemented, delivering product direct to customers in IBC's while picking up the empty container and returning it.
