IBC Container Discharge Station

The DOSICON discharge station has been developed and patented by JetSolutions SA for discharging the DOSICON containers (IBC).

The DOSICON station offers following features:

  • Dust free discharge of the container
  • Dosing of the discharge of the IBC, for example when a batch is made out of various powders stored in other IBCs
  • Weighing of the discharged quantity of an IBC, either by loss in weight or by gain in weight
  • Easy extraction of the powder stored in DOSICON IBC, even compacted
  • Guarantee of a proof closing of the IBC cone valve
  • Cleaning of the inside of the IBC with a CIP system

Working Principle:

  • The cone valve is placed and guided at the bottom of the DOSICON container
  • The cone of the discharge station lifts and open the cone valve of the container  to start discharging
  • Total proof connection of the container to the station by means of a lip gasket on the discharge station
  • Opening of the cone valve by means of a pneumatic cylinder jack
  • Adjustable opening by setting the stroke of the jack (basic version)
  • Full range adjustable opening by means of a pneumatic motor adjusting the stroke of the jack (dosing version)
  • Dosing of the discharged product by adjustment of the opening of the cone valve versus the weight on scale, through an interface terminal IT 9000
  • Vibration of the cone in open position
  • Total proof closing by pulling down the cone valve into its seat after discharge of the product
