IBC Container Mixers from I.B. Engineering

IBC Mixers & Agitators

With an IBC mixer or mixer/agitator from I.B. Engineering, you can quickly remix product that has settled during transportation or in storage.

The E-400 folding impeller has been designed to fit through a standard 150mm screw cap opening to quickly re-mix product before use.

Using the IBC as a mixing vessel ensures consistent product quality and offers significant cost savings on transfer and cleaning time.

Euromixers Standard electric IBC mixers are designed for use on industry standard 1000 / 800 litre plastic Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs) with metal outer frame and 150mm screwed cap.   They are supplied complete and ready-to-use, fully compliant and include:

• Lightweight stainless-steel bridge that mounts directly onto the IBC frame, secured in-place with quick action toggle clamps.
• DOL motor starter with overload protection.
• 24v Safety Interlock switch – essential for CE compliance.
• 16amp 5 Pin IP44 appliance inlet plug with optional phase change on 3 phase units.
• Factory wired and fully tested.
• No additional on-site wiring required.

The energy efficient electric motors of our IBC mixers are available in 400v 3-phase (50Hz) or 240v single phase (50Hz) configurations and offer IP55 protection.  Standard fixed speed, or optional variable speed with Integral Electronic Variable Speed (ESV). 

Electric IBC Mixers

Standard, IBC mixers / Agitators are supplied with an eye bolt for lifting with a hoist or with an optional fork lift module – for lifting with a fork lift truck.

Standard IBC mixer pneumatic (air) motors are supplied complete with an exhaust muffler and flow control valve which enables the motor speed to be adjusted (variable speed) the air motor is also supplied with a hose tail for connecting the mixer to a dry lubricated air supply, however, in some applications where the motor rarely gets oiled optional Light lube / Lube free air motors are available hence allowing more flexibility for the operator to modify maintenance schedules or to reduce costs on components and system maintenance.

The New Series of Lube Free pneumatic motors are available in two styles:

• The LL option offers a new light oil vane material and minimal rust protection which is ideal for applications where motors rarely get oiled or maintained or where there is a need to eliminate lubricators completely, the new vane material extends the life of the air motor when oiled, but also works effectively without any lubrication. Independent tests have shown more than 10,000 hours of operation in completely oil less applications.
• Light lube motors are supplied as standard on 0.37-0.75kw IBC mixers
• The NLP is a fully oil-free construction with complete corrosion protection for applications where the slightest contamination cannot be tolerated.

Pneumatic (Air) ATEX certified mixers are available and the recommended option for use in an ATEX zoned area.

Euromixers unique E-400 folding impeller has been designed for use on Industry standard IBC’s with a 150mm screwed cap. The impellers are manufactured in several sizes to facilitate effective mixing for a wide range of products with different SG – viscosity’s and solids content..

Wetted parts are manufactured in 316 stainless steel, alternative materials including Polypropylene and PVDF are available for corrosive products.

Shaft and Impeller

Mixer Sizing and Selection

For products with a viscosity over 4,000cP. Dual impellers are normally used to give a good top to bottom turnover in the IBC and an optional Low Level Kicker ensures good mixing right down to low levels in the IBC.  The tables below can be used as a general selection guide.

We will be more than pleased to advise on the most suitable mixer for your specific application.
