IBC Tote Mixer
An IBC Tote Mixer is used to efficiently mix and agitate liquids in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) totes, which are often found on a mixing tank or at an industrial site. IBC tote mixers come in many different sizes and Digital Drive Modes, shapes and speeds, and work for a variety of viscosities. White Mountain Process specialists can help determine the proper construction, type and size of portable tote mixer for your application.
In agriculture, a tote mixer can make the difference between a successful harvest and an unsuccessful one. When you're using a large quantity of chemicals and other materials to manage your crops, the quality of the products is essential for maximum yields. However, over time, these chemicals can settle and emulsion components can stratify, leading to lower product quality. IBC tote mixers and agitators can help ensure that all the ingredients in your liquid products remain evenly mixed and distributed, maintaining product quality.
Choosing the best IBC tote mixer for your applications can save you time and money. To ensure you're getting the highest quality mixer for IBC tote agitation, look for a model with innovative patented blade technology, which delivers superior mixing and blending performance. The EvenMix IBC Tote Mixer, for example, is designed to mix and agitate liquids quickly and thoroughly in IBC totes without requiring additional tanks or containers. This unique mixing blade features a downward thrust, so it can reach every corner of the IBC tote, which results in a more consistent, higher-quality mixture.
The IBC Tote Mixer's lightweight design makes it easy to install and operate by a single person, eliminating the need for multiple workers or a forklift. The IBC tote agitator's motor also offers more power than traditional mixers, which means you can use it for larger volume containers with ease. Additionally, the IBC tote mixer comes with a variety of drives, so you can choose the right one for your application.
Most IBC tote agitators are attached to the top of an IBC tank via a bridge mount or a smaller bung adapter. While a bridge mount model can be used with forklift tine slots, a bung adapter is convenient for manual operation and requires no tools to attach or remove from a tote. These IBC tote agitators can also be easily moved from one tank to another.
IBC tote mixers are ideal for Schutz style totes, which feature a standard 6" screw cap opening at the top. They also work well with other types of IBC tote containers, such as those made by EvenMix. These tote mixers are equipped with a collapsible impeller that fits into the tote's six-inch opening. A 5.75" collapsible impeller is also available for Schutz-style totes, and both versions are compatible with most viscosities.
