IBC Mixing Station for Efficient In-Container Mixing
Explore all the models available to suit your power and kW requirement
Turn Your IBC into a Complete Mixing System
Mixquip IBC mixing stations help reduce the need to transfer materials into a separate mixing vessel. Mixing directly inside the IBC can simplify product handling, reduce transfer-related waste and contamination risks, and make better use of available production space.
Depending on the selected mixer, impeller, drive and mounting arrangement, a Mixquip system can be configured for products with different viscosities, densities and mixing requirements. Applications can include food and beverage products, chemicals, paints and coatings, wastewater products, pharmaceuticals and other industrial liquids.
Mixquip’s IBC mixer range includes bridge-mounted and bung-mounted configurations, with electric and pneumatic drive options available for different processing environments.
How the Mixquip IBC Mixing Station Works
The mixer is positioned through the top opening of a compatible IBC and securely mounted before operation. Bridge-mounted Series 200 systems can be installed using a forklift, while compact Series 210 models screw into a compatible IBC opening.
Once activated, the shaft and impeller generate controlled product movement throughout the container. The appropriate mixer and impeller configuration is selected according to the product viscosity, specific gravity, required mixing outcome and operating conditions.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Benefits of IBC Mixing Stations
01 - PORTABLE and VERSATILE
IBC mixers are portable and can be easily moved between containers, making them highly versatile. This mobility allows operators to use the same mixer for multiple tasks, cutting down on equipment costs and maximizing floor space in production facilities. This simplifies integration into various processing environments.
04 - Ease of Set-Up
The addition of forklift mounting holes on an IBC offers significant benefits, primarily by enhancing mobility and efficiency. These holes allow easy transportation of the IBC mixer using a forklift, enabling operators to move the container between different locations without dismantling the mixer.
02 - COST-EFFECTIVE
The ability to mix in the same IBC container used for storage and transportation eliminates the need for additional mixing tanks or equipment. This reduces capital expenditure and operational costs. Additionally, the simplicity of IBC mixers requires less maintenance, resulting in lower downtime and ongoing costs.
05 - EXD RATED
IBC Tote mixers can be used in explosive environments by incorporating explosion-proof or intrinsically safe designs that comply with safety standards like ATEX or IECEx. These mixers use pneumatic motors or specially designed electric motors that prevent sparks and overheating. Additionally, they are equipped with sealed components and non-sparking materials to reduce ignition risks, ensuring safe operation in volatile settings.
03 - Complete System
An IBC mixer provides a complete mixing system by enabling efficient, in-container blending of liquids, powders, and slurries. It eliminates the need for separate tanks, reduces contamination, and saves time. With portable and fixed options, IBC mixers handle various viscosities, making them ideal for multiple industries and applications.
06 - HIGH LEVEL OF SAFETY
IBC mixers provide a high level of safety through secure mounting systems, spill prevention, and enclosed designs that minimize operator exposure to chemicals. They ensure safe, controlled mixing processes within the IBC, reducing risks like leaks or splashing, and maintaining stability during operation to prevent accidents or material waste.

Have a question? We're here to help
What is an IBC mixing station?
An IBC mixing station combines an IBC, tote or pallet tank with a compatible industrial mixer. It allows materials to be mixed directly inside the container rather than transferred into a separate mixing vessel.
What can be mixed in an IBC?
IBC mixers can be configured for liquids, suspensions, powders added to liquids, and some higher-viscosity products. Suitability depends on the product characteristics, mixer power, impeller and container configuration.
Can the same mixer be used on multiple IBCs?
Portable IBC mixers may be moved between compatible containers. The mounting arrangement, opening size and container condition should be checked before each installation.
Are IBC mixers suitable for high-viscosity products?
Selected Series 200 configurations can handle higher-viscosity materials. The maximum suitable viscosity depends on the motor, gearbox, impeller, specific gravity and required mixing result.
Can an IBC mixer be used in a hazardous area?
Appropriately configured pneumatic or certified explosion-protected systems may be available. Suitability must be confirmed against the hazardous-area classification and the requirements of the complete installation.
How do I choose an IBC mixer?
Mixer selection should consider viscosity, specific gravity, container size, desired mixing outcome, available power, material compatibility and operating environment. Mixquip can assess these details and recommend a suitable configuration.
