Cone Valve IBC Systems for the Chemical Industry

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)

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

The patented Cone Valvetechnology 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
  

Perform powder blending directlyinside 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
  
• 
  

Cone Valve systems are trustedin 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
  
• 
  

IBCs can be cleaned offline, andchangeovers 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)
  
• 
  

Get full discharge of high-costor 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
  
•
