IBC Tote Mixers Can be Purchased From EvenMix

The most common intermediate bulk containers, or IBC totes in Digital Drive Modes, are cubic in shape and feature an integral shipping pallet base that makes them easy to store on site. They have 6" openings at the top for access to the liquid inside, but these can often become clogged with rust, dust and other debris over time making mixing in them more difficult. IBC tote bracket mixers, designed specifically for these totes and other processing containers, offer a simple and efficient solution to this issue.

IBC tote mixers and agitators are often used for two main purposes: re-blending and re-homogenizing settled or separated liquids in storage, and mixing liquids with high viscosity, density or solids content. Many of these types of liquids are custom blends of a base liquid with other special additives and ingredients that tend to separate or settle over time.

With their ability to mix at any level, these mixers allow users to begin the blending process right from the tank bottom, saving valuable time and effort in the blending up process. Whether it's contractor grade paints, liquid asphalt cements, weed killers or dyes for mulch, these tote mixers can provide the mild agitation needed to reestablish the desired consistency of these light liquids.

These tote mixers are also a great option for agricultural applications like mixing livestock water troughs or re-hydrating feed. They can be set up to collect rainwater for rehydration and reduce the amount of freshwater required, or they can be placed in a specific location for filling nearby animal water troughs between rain events, saving on water costs.

The tote mixers themselves are extremely lightweight and can be handled easily by one person without the need for a power tool or additional equipment. The air drive mixers only weigh 9lbs, while the electric driven models are just 12lbs. This makes these tote mixers more portable than traditional heavy, stainless steel, industrial-grade mixers that can weigh as much as 100lbs, requiring either two people or a forklift to handle and move them.

IBC tote mixing is especially useful in the brewery and winery industry, where bottles of beer or wine are racked (drained out) and bottled for consumption after fermentation is complete. IBC tote agitators make it easy to keep the product in the container mixed and agitated, reducing bottle oxidation and other problems that can occur when the product is stored unmixed or poorly agitated in storage.

IBC tote mixers can be purchased from a variety of manufacturers and are available with a wide range of shaft, motor and impeller options. Many of these units can be customized to suit the needs of specific projects, and extra features such as inline oilers or filing hoppers are commonly included for ease of use and maximum efficiency.
