Pharmaceutical (Formulations – OSD)

  • Moving material through Vacuum transfer by charging into RMG using small containers was time consuming and it impacted the amount of material processed in each shift
  • Vacuum Transfer also requires cleaning which adds to the time required for production

Matcon’s IBC solutions for Handling Powders & Granules
  • Matcon’s IBCs having high capacity eliminate the need for small containers
  • Reduction in time for processing the batch as the entire batch can be processed in one IBC
Pharmaceutical (Formulations – OSD)

  • IBCs used currently having butterfly valve causes bridging issues for which customer has to use hammer for flow of material
  • Butterfly valve can also lead to segregation of material which is highly undesirable

 Matcon’s Cone Valve
  • Cone Valve ensures complete & controlled flow of material
  • Cone Valve eliminates bridging as flow begins only after the system is secured pneumatically and due to gradual flow segregation is eliminated
  • Cone Valve is completely automated system operated by touchscreen
