Carolina Conveying

Carolina Conveying, the inventor of the Cone Valve IBC, provides a full line of Bin Dischargers and Cone Valve IBC Systems.

Cone Valve

A cone valve IBC system consists of two basic components:
  • Discharge Station
  • A portable IBC

The discharge station is generally stationary, installed at one location to discharge product on demand. The station consists of a probe and pneumatically actuated Firestone bellow. There are no moving parts.

IBC Discharge Station

Cone Valve in Raised/Discharge Position

In operation, the IBC is set atop the discharge station. To discharge material the probe lifts and vibrates (optionally), creating an annular gap between it and the discharge cone, hence providing a path for material flow. The unit shears the entire cross section of material directly, which promotes mass flow while minimizing segregation, preventing bridging and ratholing. This is all accomplished in a dust tight fashion.

Positive shutoff is achieved by simply lowering the probe.  When inoperative the cone sets on a seal located in the discharge chute preventing flow. The empty or partially empty IBC can be removed at any time without risk of leakage.

Sequence of Operations

An IBC is delivered to the Discharge Station and set atop the cone valve. The discharge station probe fits seamlessly into the inverted cone within the IBC.

To discharge material the probe lifts and vibrates (optionally), thereby overcoming compaction, bridging and ratholing. Reliable flow with zero operator interface.
IBC Sequence of Operations
  • Mass Flow
  • Minimizes Segregation
  • No Moving Parts
  • Total Containment, No Dusting
  • No operator intervention to connect or discharge product
  • Works as a Discharger and a Valve
