Matcon's IBC Blender eliminates the time-consuming and costly cleaning associated with traditional stationary mixers such as V-blenders, double cone or other fixed shell blenders as the IBC itself is the blending vessel. The bins are filled, discharged and washed ‛off-line’ (in parallel) so the Blender can be used batch after batch without stopping for product changeover. Also, there are no ‘open transfers’ taking place inside the Blending Room, which eliminates the need for environmental cleaning. The introduction of a revolutionary contained Intensifier feature has further opened up a large field of opportunity in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries. Due to the high OEE of the IBC Blender, one blender is often able to replace multiple fixed mixers for a more efficient blending process.
