Different Sizes of IBC Tote Agitators

In the world of industrial mixing, the tote mixer is a powerful piece of equipment that helps improve productivity and reduce fluid transfer waste by providing a quick in Digital Drive Modes, easy-to-use solution for agitating liquids in standard Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC). Tote mixers allow you to keep your chemicals and powders right where they are in the tote tank instead of draining them and transferring them to a new vessel. They are also less costly than conventional pumps since they require little maintenance and can be easily removed, cleaned and returned to service.

The revolutionary design of IBC tote mixer technology from EvenMix features a unique, foldable blade that fits into the IBC tote's 6-inch opening while it unfolds inside the container and mixes contents evenly. This patented IBC tote mixer design offers heavy-duty power in a low weight, making it simple for one person to install and use.

IBC Tote agitators come in a variety of sizes depending on your specific needs. For example, an IBC tote agitator for mixing in agriculture might include a larger shaft and impeller to handle heavier formulations. It is important to consider the amount of horsepower and torque you need to mix your ingredients.

Typically, a tote mixer with a lower-end motor will have a smaller shaft and impeller. This allows the mixer to be easily installed in a standard tote tank, as well as other types of containers. A higher-end model can feature a more powerful electric or gas motor to accommodate higher viscosities.

Once the tote mixer is in place, it is ready for your mixing application. It's possible to attach an IBC tote mixer directly to the top of your tote tank, but it is usually easier to mount a bridge mount or smaller bung adaptor on the side of the tote so you can use a forklift to lift and lower the mixer to and from the IBC.

A bridge mount or bung adaptor can also be used to connect your tote mixer to the bottom of your IBC, but this is more difficult to work with and may require a second worker to help you out in case something goes wrong. If you are using a forklift, you should look for a mixer that is designed to fit into the tines of the forklift so you can hook it up without any hassle.

Another option for tote mixers is a tote agitator that's built directly into the tote cap, requiring you to remove only the existing cap. This is often the preferred option for industrial applications where you need to mix a large number of containers at once or in a short amount of time. This type of tote mixer is easy to operate, but you should still pay attention to the height of the agitator since it could be hazardous if you're not careful. Lastly, there are tote mixers with a toggle-type switch that allows you to easily turn the motor on and off without having to reach for the controls on your motor.
