Agitator for bulk containers

Achieve consistent mixing results for low-to-medium viscosity liquids in bulk containers with our innovative agitator, designed for gentle yet efficient mixing. Reduce wear on components and enhance product homogeneity, ensuring optimal processing of concentrates, aromas, and chemical compounds.

Mixes and Agitates Liquid Products Consistently

The Tetra Pak® Agitator IBC is engineered for precision mixing and agitation of liquid products across food, beverage, dairy, and chemical industries. This innovative solution features auto-extending mixer blades that activate via centrifugal force, ensuring efficient and gentle mixing regardless of liquid level. Designed to integrate seamlessly into both manual and automated production lines, its PLC-controlled system offers high-speed operation with full remote monitoring capabilities. The large, stainless steel blades ensure reduced wear and tear, optimizing energy use while maintaining consistent product quality. Ideal for applications such as tomato paste concentrate and liquid detergent, the mixer’s hygienic design minimizes maintenance, with no bearings in contact with the product and optional CIP systems for thorough cleaning.

Benefits

  • Enhances mixing efficiency with up to four times faster agitation using large auto-extending blades.
  • Ensures consistent product quality across varying liquid levels, reducing waste.
  • Minimizes maintenance downtime with a hygienic, easy-to-clean design void of intricate contact parts.
  • Adapts seamlessly into existing production lines with flexible automation options.
  • Optimizes energy usage and prolongs equipment lifespan with reduced blade rotation speed.
