Engineered for Hazardous Materials. Built for High-Risk Zones.
Handling powders in the chemical industry involves serious safety and operational challenges — especially when dealing with flammable, toxic, or reactive materials. Dust explosions, segregation, and uncontrolled powder flow can lead to safety hazards, product loss, and non-compliance.
The Cone Valve IBC System provides a safe, explosion-proof, and ATEX-compliant solution for powder handling, mixing, and transfer in hazardous area classifications (Zones 1/2/21/22). With in-bin dry mixing, dust-tight sealing, and mass flow control, it ensures safe, contained, and consistent operations for even the most sensitive powders.
Key Benefits for Hazardous Chemical Manufacturing
🛡️️Explosion-Proof, ATEX-Compliant Design
Cone Valve IBC systems can be fully specified for ATEX zones, using certified components, grounding systems, and safe operating protocols.
Benefits:
- Safe for flammable and combustible powders
- Designed for Zone 1, 2, 21, or 22 environments
- Prevents static build-up and dust ignition risks
- Compliant with global standards (ATEX, IECEx)
🧤 Dust-Free, Fully Contained Operation
All powder handling is enclosed — from discharge to transfer — ensuring zero exposure to operators or the environment.
Benefits:
- Protect operators from toxic or reactive materials
- Reduce dust cloud formation (primary ignition source)
- Contain volatile or hazardous dusts
- Lower facility contamination and cleaning costs
🛡️ Mass Flow Discharge – No Segregation, No Blockage
The patented Cone Valve technology ensures controlled, mass flow discharge — even for powders that are difficult to handle or tend to segregate.
Benefits:
- Prevents rat-holing, bridging, or flushing
- Maintains blend uniformity and batch quality
- Reduces mechanical intervention and risk exposure
🛢️ In-Bin Dry Mixing for Hazardous Powders
Perform powder blending directly inside the IBC — eliminating the need for separate mixers or open transfers, which introduce risk.
Benefits:
- Reduces powder exposure and cross-contamination
- Avoids handling volatile or reactive materials in open air
- Ensures blend homogeneity with no re-segregation during discharge
- Speeds up batch preparation and changeover
⚙️ Handles Cohesive, Fine, and Static-Prone Powders
Cone Valve systems are trusted in handling powders with poor flow characteristics, including those prone to electrostatic build-up or dust cloud formation.
Examples:
- Aluminum & magnesium powders
- Metal oxides (TiO₂, Fe₂O₃)
- Organic peroxides
- Nitrates, catalysts
- Pharmaceutical actives
- Pigments, carbon black, resins
Benefits:
- Reduces mechanical intervention
- Enhances flow without external vibration or fluidisation
- Safer handling of exothermic, flammable, or sticky powders
🚿 Quick Cleaning & Batch Changeovers
IBCs can be cleaned offline, and changeovers require minimal downtime — ideal for multi-product, hazardous environments.
Benefits:
- No fixed contact equipment to clean
- Reduce exposure to residual hazardous material
- Ensure operator safety during changeovers
- Increase OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
🎚️ Complete Discharge, Minimal Waste
Get full discharge of high-cost or hazardous materials without leaving residues behind — critical for both cost-efficiency and safe cleaning.
Benefits:
- Maximise material yield
- Minimise waste disposal costs
- Reduce chemical residue risks during cleaning
🏭️️ Built for a Range of Hazardous Chemical Applications
- Battery materials (Li-ion precursors, nickel, cobalt)
- Specialty chemicals
- Pharmaceutical intermediates
- Agrochemicals & pesticides
- Additives & catalysts
- Coatings, dyes, pigments, and colorants
- Fine and performance chemicals
