IBC container blender – homogenous mixing
Mixing principles:
IBC container blender for individual or standard container creates the mixing effect by a 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional motion field of powder particles while rotating the blending container around its horizontal axis. Mixing container/drums are available in sizes from 5 to 4,000 litres with a max. batch weight of 5 to. 
The loading of the mixing container by pallet-/or forklift truck is standard. Moreover we are offering automatized loading process by crane-, roller conveyer- or shuttle systems as well.
Advantages of tumble blending:
- no cross contamination
- no cleaning efforts avoiding bottle necks in production process
- upsacling of production capacities
- smooth and gentle blending of raw material components
Automized IBC loading by roller conveyer, fully PLC controlled
We have two different types of container mixer in our delivery range:
3D- 3 dimensional IBC tumble blender with two IBC mixing axis
The additional mixing axis at the 3D container mixing principle blender leads to a faster mixing time and a better spread of particles within the mixing batch.
Diagram: comparing tumble blender with 2 mixing axis (3D) to one mixing axis (2D):
considerably less particle concentration rate with 3D container blender than 2D blending
2D- 2 dimensional tumble blender IBC Container with 1 mixing axis
Industrial container mixer for fast and efficient powder blending:
Standard MRC tumble blender with one mixing axis ensure that your materials are mixed cost effectively. Batch powder are smooth and gently mixed and your operation becomes more efficient with reduced cleaning downtime.
Industrial powder mixer using IBC tumble blender delivers the following benefits:
- Improved manufacturing productivity (high OEE rate)
- Fast loading & unloading by pallet ruck or automized by roller conveyer
- No cross-contamination
- Increased product yields
- option: High Shear Mixing bin blender
IBC container blender: cubical IBC Advantages container mixer blending against ribbon blender:
- adapted design of the mixing container /drum depending on filling medium
- cost-effective: no cleaning neccessary means no loss of mixing capacity
- no cross contamination: individual container/drum for raw materials
- we offer special armatures to avoid segregation when filling or dicharge the batch container
- Gentle mix for sensitive powders
3D drum mixer:
The 3D.S drum mixer is a free-fall mixer with two rotation axis and separate motor power. Thanks to these 3D space motion dynamics the blending time is shorter and you get a more homogenous mix. A continiously changing 3-dimensional crossing and rolling movement of the powder avoid dead zones and regular flow fields in the mixing container. This effect guarantees a perfect mixing result.

Mixing parameters:
- stepless speed rotation 5-17 rev/min
- rotation clockwise/unclockwise
- data base for different mixing recipes
- upon request: variable mixing container for different batch sizes
