Agitator for Ibc containers

Achieve consistent and efficient mixing of various liquid products with this agitator, ensuring precise agitation even at low fill levels and reducing wear on components with its unique slow-speed operation.

Agitates and Mixes Liquid Products Efficiently

The Tetra Pak® Agitator IBC is a specialized solution for efficient liquid processing, developed by Tetra Pak to ensure consistent and gentle agitation. Its unique design employs auto-extending mixer blades that rotate slowly, engaging a large surface area to mix liquids up to four times faster than conventional models. This agitator is particularly suitable for applications involving food concentrates, liquid aromas, juices, and dairy products, accommodating liquid viscosities below 200 cP.

Capable of batch and continuous operations, the Tetra Pak Agitator IBC integrates smoothly into various production environments, offering a hygienic, easy-to-clean construction with no bearings, minimizing contamination risk. The agitator is engineered for durability, featuring a slow blade rotation that reduces motor wear, thus extending the equipment’s operational life.

Supporting flexible operations, it provides several options such as explosion protection and frequency inverters for adaptable mixing effects, enhancing efficiency and customizing according to product types and volumes. It meets industry hygiene standards with available CIP containers for fully automated cleaning. Ideal for food and beverage manufacturers and liquid chemical producers, it addresses challenges in maintaining product integrity and consistent agitation in diverse operational conditions.
