About ISL Technologies
Engineering Better Ways to Handle Bulk Solids
For more than three decades, ISL Technologies has been developing solutions for the storage, transfer, discharge, dosing and blending of powders, particulates and granular materials.
Built around our patented Cone Valve Technology, we engineer IBC systems that give manufacturers greater control over material flow, containment, hygiene and process efficiency.

Our Story
From Bulk Material Challenges to Engineered Solutions
Handling powders and bulk solids is rarely as simple as moving material from one point to another.
Flow characteristics change. Materials can bridge, rat-hole, or segregate. Conventional valves can make it difficult to control discharge. Cleaning can introduce downtime. And when multiple ingredients are involved, maintaining batch integrity becomes even more important.
ISL Technologies was built around solving these challenges.
Our expertise begins where raw materials exist as powders, particulates, tablets or granular materials. We develop IBC systems and process equipment that help manufacturers store, move, discharge, dose and blend these materials in a more controlled and systematic way.
At the centre of our approach is our patented Cone Valve Technology — a technology designed to control material flow directly from the bulk store while maintaining containment and reducing common flow problems associated with conventional discharge methods.
Today, our capabilities extend beyond the IBC itself. We engineer complete systems around the process, including filling, discharge, dosing, blending, formulation, conveying, screening, washing and drying.
Our Approach
We Start With the Process, Not the Product
Every material behaves differently. Every production environment has different requirements. And every manufacturer has a different definition of efficiency.
That is why we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.
Our engineers work to understand the material being handled, the required flow characteristics, production volumes, downstream process and cleaning requirements before developing the right system.
Understand the Material
Powders and granular materials behave differently under pressure, movement and discharge. Understanding those characteristics is the starting point for a reliable system.
Understand the Process
The IBC is only one part of the production process. Filling, storage, discharge, dosing, blending and downstream operations need to work together.
Engineer the Solution
We combine Cone Valve Technology, IBC systems, automation and supporting equipment to create a solution around the actual application.
The ISL Difference
Patented Technology at the Heart of Every System
The ISL Cone Valve is more than a discharge valve. It is the technology around which our bulk-solids handling systems are engineered.
Conventional IBC discharge systems commonly rely on Butterfly, Slide Gate or Iris Valves. These approaches can create challenges such as poor flow control, bridging, rat-holing, segregation and product exposure.
Our Cone Valve uses plant air to create a variable and controllable aperture, allowing material flow to be controlled directly from the IBC — a systematic discharge process designed to promote mass flow, minimise segregation and support accurate dosing.
Mass Flow
Promotes a first-in, first-out material flow pattern.
Controlled Discharge
A variable aperture provides control over material flow.
Containment
Designed to maintain a controlled and contained transfer environment.
Accurate Dosing
Supports batch and continuous dosing applications.
In-Bin Blending
Allows materials to be blended directly within the IBC.
Easy Maintenance
A simplified component design supports faster cleaning and maintenance.
Engineering Capability
More Than an IBC Manufacturer
A successful bulk-solids process requires more than a container and a valve.
ISL Technologies has the engineering capability to design complete IBC systems and integrate the supporting equipment required around them — from initial material intake to the final process stage.
IBC Systems
Stainless steel and polyethylene IBC configurations for different applications.
Filling Systems
Fill Heads, floor locators, weighing systems and associated equipment for controlled filling.
Discharge & Dosing
Cone Valve-based discharge stations for controlled material transfer and dosing.
Blending & Formulation
Systems designed for in-bin blending, batching and multi-ingredient formulation.
Conveying & Material Handling
Roller conveyors, chain conveyors, AGVs and other equipment where required.
Process Integration
Integration with equipment such as silos, dust collectors and vacuum or pressure conveying systems.
Washing & Drying
Systems designed to clean and prepare IBCs while helping reduce production downtime.
- Our wider Cone Valve Technology offering spans each of these areas as part of a single, connected system.
Application Expertise
Because Every Material Behaves Differently
From fine powders to granular products, the behaviour of the material determines how it needs to be stored, moved, discharged and processed.
ISL Technologies works across a broad range of bulk-solid applications:
- Fine Powders
- Granules
- Abrasives
- Fragile Materials
- Tablets
- Sterile Materials
- Blended Materials
The original presentation identifies pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, fine powders, granules, abrasives, fragile and sterile materials among the applications for Cone Valve Technology.
Whether the challenge is flow, segregation, containment, dosing, cleaning or batch flexibility, our approach begins with understanding the material and the process around it.
Our Way of Working
We Engineer With You, Not Just For You
The most effective systems are developed through collaboration.

Understand
We learn about your material, production process and operational requirements.
Evaluate
We examine flow behaviour, filling, discharge, dosing, blending, cleaning and downstream requirements.
Engineer
We develop the appropriate IBC, Cone Valve and supporting system configuration.
Integrate
We connect the system with the surrounding process and automation requirements.
Support
We remain available through installation, operation and ongoing application support.
Experience Matters
More Than 30 Years of Bulk-Solids Expertise
Bulk-solids handling is a field where practical experience matters.
For more than 30 years, ISL Technologies has developed expertise around powder, tablet and granular processing, applying that experience to the design of IBC and bulk material handling systems.
That experience allows us to look beyond individual equipment and understand the interaction between the material, the container, the valve, the discharge process and the production line.
