Why Choose IBC/Tote Tank Agitators/Mixers
Agitators & Mixers
High-performance mixing solutions for industrial tanks
Agitators & mixers are essential in any process that requires reliable blending, dissolving, suspension, or heat transfer. Built to deliver consistent and controlled mixing, they help maintain product quality, reduce processing time, and support a wide range of industrial applications.
Whether you work with thin liquids or heavy, high-viscosity materials, the right agitator ensures your tank performs at its best. Get in touch with US Mixers today to find the bespoke solution for you!
What Are Agitators?
Agitators are mechanical mixing systems that use a motor, shaft, and impeller to create movement inside a vessel i.e. tote. This movement keeps materials uniform, prevents settling, and supports tasks such as emulsifying, dispersing powders, and increasing reaction efficiency.
A well-designed agitator improves product consistency while helping operators maintain a stable and predictable process.

Why Choose an IBC Mixer?
Agitators offer several advantages that make them vital in industrial mixing:
Consistent blending for liquids, powders, and suspensions
Improved heat distribution during heating or cooling cycles
Prevention of settling in vessels holding solids or slurries
Better reaction control in chemical processes
Gas dispersion for aeration, fermentation, or oxygen transfer
Reduced buildup on vessel walls and bases
With the right setup, operators can maintain uniform quality across every batch.
How to Select the Right Agitator
When choosing an IBC/Tote agitator, consider:
Viscosity and flow behaviour of your material
Mixing objective such as blending, suspension, heat transfer, or dispersion
Shear sensitivity of your product
Energy efficiency and required mixing intensity
Maintenance and cleaning requirements
A properly matched agitator improves performance while reducing operating costs.
Applications of IBC/Tote Agitators
IBC/Tote agitators are used across many industries, including:
- Chemical manufacturing
- Food and beverage production
- Pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
