ISL CONE VALVE TECHNOLOGY

Simple, Hygienic, Effective, Affordable

ISL design, manufacture and supply integrated systems for powders, tablets and all particulate materials. At their heart is the unique Cone Valve, the most simplest, elegant and effective system for handling products from totally free flowing, flushing to cohesive and pasty.

ISL has grown dramatically since 2000, primarily due to the unique and substantial benefits brought to the industry by ISL Cone Valve Technology.

ISL's range of products and systems cover all areas of bulk material handling, raw material intake, transfer to storage vessels, process vessels, FIBC’s and IBC’s, formulation, mixing, process feed, packing, storage and delivery.

ISL's range of products and systems can be applied in a range of industries, Pharmaceutical API (powders and ‘wet cake’/solvent rich materials), Pharmaceutical Solid Dosage (powders, granules, tablets and capsules), Food processing and packaging, Nutraceuticals (vitamins etc.), Metal Powders, Ceramics, Chemical, Polymers, Detergents, Toner, Pigments and many more, in fact, any industry where powder, granules or particulates are used.

ISL is dedicated to give second to none support to its clients worldwide with office, manufacturing, full scale product trial/test facilities in USA, Britain, Japan, Singapore, Switzerland, Italy and Australia.

ISL has Agents in major territories worldwide and a widespread network of Representatives covering America.

ISL have some of the most innovative engineers in the industry, with a wide range and depth of experience, technical skills and professional qualifications.

ISL's range is ever expanding as we create new solutions to meet our client’s needs.

ISL's clients bring us challenges daily, videos and drawings showing some of the diverse range of products, systems and special designs we have created to meet their challenges can be seen on our Web site at www.conevalve.com.

Gravimetric Dosing
Our client had an existing batch storage and dosing system using cone valve IBC's feeding to gravimetric feeders and then to a weigh hopper. They use a range of metalic powders ranging from very fine freeflowing, even flushing, to larger granulitic, cohesive all very high density in a range of 3 to 6 grams/cc.

Major Developments
Recently, ISL was challenged to meet some very exacting criteria for a worldwide manufacturer of products manufactured from a range of metal powders. They needed to weigh out very accurate batches and also accurately control discharge rates to process. Batch times had to be improved by a factor of at least three.

ISL Big Bag Valve
The ISL Big Bag Valve is the key componenet in ISL's FIBC Discharge and dosing system and can be and has been widely used on other suppliers FIBC Systems to solve problems of product discharge and dosing. It has the same basic mechanism as all ISL Cone Valve systems with cone valves chosen to suit the particular range of FIBC outlet socks.

ISL Ultimate Bulk Bag Discharger
The UBBD with the Bulk Bag is located onto an ISL Discharge Station which, on demand signal, lifts the cone valve to discharge the product.

Cake Mix Trails
The product is one of the most difficult to handle, discharge or control from bulk and the fact that the ISL system not only discharged the total contents but also controlled the required batches accurately cemented this contract for ISL despite serious competition from our main competitor.

Tablet/Granule Valve
The ISL Tablet Valve incorporates a pair of cones located together in the IBC or bin hopper. When the product requirements have been met the ISL control system closure sequencing is activated.

Contained Product Transfer
The ISL "Thro Lid Fill" system ensures that no dust or product is exposed to the outside environment Before, During or After product transfer, for example from a mixer or formulation system to an IBC.

Principle of the ISL Cone Valve Technology
This animation illustrates the elegance and simplicity of the ISL system with no mechanisms or parts in the powder flow. There is no actuator to wear, abrade or fail and the system is fail safe.

TRS Spice Manufacturer
This company was one of ISL's very first clients shortly after ISL launched their unique cone valve system for bulk store discharge and control of any powder or particulate material.

Upgrade Your IBC System
It is a common perception and in the past largely a true one, that once you have bought a proritary IBC or FIBC system you are locked into it, as the costs of changing to another supplier are prohibitive.

Weightment
This Animation shows a three speed weighment with a target of 50Kg.

ISL Silo Valve
This animation illustrates the elegance and simplicity of the ISL Silo Valve, with no mechanisms or parts in the powder flow. In larger Silos, Bridge Breakers of various sizes can be supplied with internal vibration for more cohesive products.
