IBC (intermediate bulk containers), also known as tote mixers, are used effectively for storage, transport, mixing and blending of liquid ingredients and chemicals, and keeping the contents stirred prior to use. They are ideal for a variety of applications, including stirring, agitating, mixing and homogenising viscous liquids and high settled solid slurries, and wetting and dissolving powders. If you are mixing or blending in these totes the mixer impeller must fit in the top screw cap opening. IBC mixers typically come with a screw cap mount to fit the top of the tote or a heavy-duty bridge mount, which fits on top of the tote cage. Mixing impellers are typically 14.60 centimetres diameter for direct drive mixers and for higher torque gear drive tote agitators use a folding collapsible mixing impeller that fits through the six-inch opening. The impeller opens up when mixing in the tote to its full diameter, which is typically in the 25.5-40.5 cm range depending on product viscosity, density, and mixer kw and speed. Single or double mixing impellers can be used on an IBC blender.
