The Technology Behind the Process

The Technology Behind Controlled Material Flow

At the heart of every ISL system is our patented Cone Valve Technology.

Unlike conventional Butterfly, Slide Gate and Iris Valves, the Cone Valve creates a variable and controllable aperture, promoting mass flow while providing precise control over the discharge of powders and granular materials.

  1. 1

    Mass Flow

    Promotes a first-in, first-out flow pattern, helping minimise bridging, rat-holing and segregation.

  2. 2

    Variable Flow Control

    The valve aperture can be adjusted to control material flow for different products and process requirements.

  3. 3

    Contained Discharge

    The Cone Valve integrates with the discharge station to create a controlled, contained material-transfer environment.

  4. 4

    Accurate Dosing

    Supports batch weighing and continuous dosing through controlled valve movement and system feedback.

  5. 5

    Easy Cleaning

    Designed with a minimal number of components for straightforward dismantling, cleaning and maintenance.

The ISL Difference

Why Cone Valve Technology?

Conventional discharge valves can create problems with flow, segregation, containment and control. ISL's patented Cone Valve was developed to address these challenges at the source — within the material-flow process itself.

  • Controlled Flow

    A variable aperture provides greater control over the movement of powders and granular materials.

  • Containment

    Designed for controlled, dust-tight material transfer with no product exposure before, during or after discharge.

  • Accurate Dosing

    Supports weighing, batch dosing and continuous flow control with system feedback.

  • Hygienic & Cleanable

    Minimal components and a product-flow path designed without mechanisms help simplify cleaning and maintenance.

  • Reduced Maintenance

    The Cone Valve design uses fewer components and can be dismantled without special tools.

  • Built to Integrate

    The Cone Valve connects directly with ISL discharge stations and complete IBC systems for a streamlined process.

Applications

Real Applications. Engineered Solutions.

The right bulk-solids system depends on the material, process and production objective. ISL Technologies engineers solutions for a wide range of applications where controlled flow, containment and process efficiency are critical.

  • Batching & Formulation

    Accurately combine multiple powders or granular ingredients into defined formulations while maintaining batch identity and traceability.

    Explore Application
  • Powder Discharge & Dosing

    Control material flow from IBCs into mixing, packaging, screening or conveying processes with accurate and contained discharge.

    Explore Application
  • In-Bin Blending

    Blend directly inside the IBC to reduce transfers, minimise contamination opportunities and support frequent formulation changes.
