Powder flow problems can cause frustration and create backups resulting in expensive downtime and the production of substandard products. Powders can act like solids and liquids and lead to product flow issues. Flow issues can result from a product’s handling, storage, and uniform processing, including too much or insufficient blending.

The current state of the supply chain has caused consumers and business buyers to consider whether to wait for what they want to become available or settle for a product that is below their usual standard. If, for example, you are in the market for a new car, you have probably experienced this firsthand.

Blending is a critical process in many industries, including food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and chemical, to name a few. It comes with the risk of inconsistency, cross-contamination, product exposure, and loss but METO Systems brings you a range of efficient stainless-steel blenders that ensure the process occurs quickly, safely, and hygienically.  

Drum Dumpers and Tippers are ideal for charging coaters; filling hoppers, reactors, and other process vessels; dispensing applications; and discharging powders, granules, pellets, and tablets.

Tippers position the drum downward, allowing the product to be easily discharged through a bung in the head of the drum.

Platform lifts, also known as stationary column lifts, are a smooth, efficient way to move products, containers, tools, and equipment to various locations in a manufacturing facility. They can reach separate floors, elevated charging chutes, and positions both above and below processing equipment. Our column lifts provide simple, reliable, ergonomic solutions that ensure the safety of the operator when heavy loads need to be lifted and handled.

FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container) bags are highly durable and reusable. They are usually referred to as bulk bags and are used for the transportation of dry bulk goods such as fertilizers, plastic granules, seeds, resins, and powders. This makes them suitable for use in a wide variety of industries.

Many production or manufacturing tasks that require overcoming gravity to aid the process will require the use of vertical lifting equipment. In many instances, the process will call for a lift to elevate and position process equipment over downstream automatic ‘process equipment'. Choosing the right lift for a project involves analyzing the task at hand and partnering with the appropriate vendor who will deliver the safest, most efficient, and best-performing equipment in the market today.

Tumble Blenders, also known as drum blenders, are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, chemical industry, and electron industry to mix dry powder. Especially for materials with a high-quality mix demand or multi-product, multi-volume blends.
