Cone Valve IBCs
Cone Valve IBCs and Butterfly Valve IBCs are both used in material handling, but they differ significantly.
Here are some advantages Cone Valve IBCs offer compared to Butterfly Valve IBCs.
Cone Valve IBC
Precise Control: Cone Valves provide precise control over material flow, allowing for accurate metering and dosing.
Sanitary Design: Cone valves are designed for sanitary applications, making them ideal for food, pharmaceutical, and other industries where cleanliness is crucial.
Less Material Wastage: Cone Valves can help reduce material wastage by providing complete emptying during discharging and precise discharge.
Butterfly Valve IBCs
Flow Control: Butterfly valves can be more prone to material buildup and clogging, which can affect flow control. Cone valves provide more precise control over material flow and is able to handle difficult to flow powders due to its unique design and internal vibration feature.
Sanitary Concerns: Butterfly valves can have more crevices and dead spaces, making them more challenging to clean and sanitize. Cone Valves are designed for sanitary applications and are easier to clean.
Material Handling: Cone Valves are often better suited for handling mixed powders, granules, and other dry materials, while butterfly valves may be more suitable for easy flowing ingredients and single ingredient handling.
When to Choose Cone Valve IBCs
Precise Material Control: When precise control over material flow is critical, such as handling non free flowing ingredients and mixed powders..
Sanitary Applications: When cleanliness and sanitary conditions are essential, such as in food or pharmaceutical processing..
Powder or Granule Handling: When handling powders or granules, Cone Valve IBCs can provide more precise control and reduced material waste.
