IBC Mixers

Our IBC Mixers are designed to deliver optimal mixing performance within Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs, also known as pallet tanks or totes). Built from premium, durable materials, these mixers ensure thorough homogenisation of liquids, powders, and suspensions, even with high viscosities or solids content.

Whether for Food, Cosmetics, Adhesives, Water Treatment, or Industrial applications, Tapflo IBC Mixers provide a reliable, efficient, and safe mixing solution.

Overview

IBC Mixers simplify product re-mixing directly in IBCs, eliminating the need for intermediate tanks. This reduces handling steps, speeds up processes, and minimises costs. With options for electric, pneumatic, or gearbox-driven motors, and impellers tailored to the viscosity and application, our mixers are highly adaptable.

Available in both standard and ATEX-certified versions, these Mixers are suitable for use in hazardous environments. Each unit is supplied as a complete, ready-to-use assembly with clamps, safety systems, and optional accessories for powder/liquid dosing or mobility.
