Positioned in an existing flanged intermediate bulk container (IBC) outlet, the Matcon cone valve is lifted by pushing on a lever handle. As the manual IBC cone valve rises inside the IBC, an annular gap is created, enabling powders to exit under mass flow. The powdered material moves simultaneously, eliminating particle rolling, mix segregation, bridging, and rat-holing. The lever can be locked in the open or closed position, or at any intermediate position in between, depending on the desired product discharge flow rate. The valve has a nominal 250-mm internal diameter and is designed to fit any vessel or process with the same outlet size.
