Electric agitator for IBC tanks - 169 rpm + universal adapter

Slow and powerful agitation for viscous liquids in IBC tanks

This electric agitator for 1000-litre IBC tanks, operating at 169 rpm, is specially designed for applications requiring slow, steady and continuous agitation.
Unlike high-speed models, this mixer prioritises torque and stability, making it ideal for viscous products and industrial processes involving prolonged operation.

It is a reliable solution for maintaining homogeneity, preventing settling or continuously mixing technical products stored in IBC tanks.

We can advise you on the choice of agitator with a short questionnaire, free of charge and with no obligation to purchase.

Optimised agitation performance for viscous products

Thanks to its large Ø 400 mm propeller with folding blades, the agitator generates a high flow rate of 270 m³/h, while maintaining a controlled hydraulic speed (0.61 m/s).
This combination allows for effective mixing without excessive shearing of the product.

Key features:

• Rotation speed: 169 rpm

• Flow rate: 270 m³/h

• Axial force: 10 N

• Radial force: 2 N

➡️ Gentle, consistent and stable agitation, ideal for sensitive formulations.

Extended product compatibility: up to 8,000 cps

This agitator is particularly recommended for products with:

• Viscosity: 0 to 8,000 cps

• Density: 0 to 1,2 kg/L

It is ideal for applications requiring prolonged agitation of thick or loaded liquids, such as:

• resins and polymers

• paints and coatings

• viscous chemical solutions

• technical products requiring continuous mixing

We can advise you on the choice of agitator with a short questionnaire, free of charge and with no obligation to purchase.

Designed for continuous 24-hour operation

This model is specifically sized for continuous 24-hour use, which sets it apart from agitators for occasional use.
Its 0.55 kW motor ensures stable, durable and energy-efficient operation, even over long periods.

Industrial motor:

• 230/400 V – three-phase 50 Hz

• IP55 protection rating, suitable for industrial environments

Universal mounting and installation on 1000 L IBC tanks

The agitator is equipped with a universal adapter, allowing quick and easy installation on most 1000 L IBC tanks on the market.
The standard shaft length of 900 mm allows the agitator to effectively reach the useful mixing area at the centre of the tank.

The large propeller with folding blades facilitates insertion into the tank while ensuring a large mixing surface once deployed.

Robust construction and industrial-grade materials

The shaft and propeller assembly is made of 316L stainless steel, ensuring:

• excellent corrosion resistance

• compatibility with many chemicals

• increased longevity in industrial environments

The total weight of the package is 32 kg, ensuring robustness and stability during operation.

* The frequency converter allows the rotation speed to be reduced in stages (5 different speeds). 2 options: 915-732-549-366-183 rpm or 169-132-99-66-33 rpm.

Points to consider before purchasing

• If the space above the tank is ≤ 282 mm, Axesspack recommends a compressed air motor (an electric motor requires more height).

• In aggressive environments, special coatings should be provided (agitation unit and gear motor). 

Need help choosing the right model?

The size depends on several criteria (product, viscosity, volume, frequency, site constraints). Axesspack offers assistance in selecting the most suitable agitator. Our sales team will advise you on the choice of agitator best suited to your needs (free questionnaire with no obligation to purchase).
