IBC FAQ’s
These mixers are all fitted with a folding impeller that is designed to pass through the 6” opening of an IBC container. The mixer is lowered into the IBC tank , typically by an operator using a forklift truck. It is then locked in place with Greaves’ toggle clamp system. Once in operation, centrifugal forces cause the impeller blades to extend outwards and deliver downward thrust creating an axial flow pattern through the centre of the mix. Material is driven to the bottom of the container, out to the sides, up to the surface, then down the centre back to the mixing head.
