The Tapflo IBC Mixing Station is an automated, high efficiency mixing station for liquids stored in Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs). Designed for both stationary and mobile use, it combines safety, ease of operation, and robust construction to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of industries.
With the ability to handle highly viscous liquids up to 20,000 cP, including powders and solids, the IBC Mixing Station ensures uniform mixing directly in the container, eliminating the need for intermediate tanks, reducing manual handling, and optimising production efficiency. Available in ATEX-certified executions, the system is suitable for use in explosive or hazardous environments.
Ensures the Mixer cannot run if the IBC is missing, incorrectly positioned, or raised
Adjustable mixing speed and programmable timer enable consistent results while freeing operators for other tasks
Suitable for liquids up to 20,000 cP, with folding impellers for easy container entry
Available in explosion-proof category II 2G executions
Mobile designs available for use across multiple locations
Convenient placement of IBCs using hand pallet trucks, simple controls, and reliable automation
Robust frame and high-quality materials ensure long service life

The IBC is placed under the Mixer using a forklift or pallet truck, with guide rails to ensure correct alignment. In mobile executions, the station is wheeled to the container’s location and locked in place
The Mixer is lowered into the IBC via an electric actuator, pneumatic cylinder, or manual rope reel. The folding impeller enters easily through the IBC opening.
The operator sets the rotational speed via the frequency inverter. Mixing time is programmed on the control panel timer. The impeller unfolds inside the container and begins mixing.
The Mixer cannot operate without a correctly placed IBC. It stops automatically if raised above the container level. All rotating elements are enclosed, eliminating the risk of contact.
Once the cycle ends, the unit shuts off automatically and signals the end of mixing. The IBC can then be removed and replaced.
