Pneumatic agitator for IBC tanks - 1300 rpm

Fast and safe agitation for low-viscosity liquids in IBC tanks

This pneumatic agitator for IBC tanks, operating at 1300 rpm, is specially designed for applications requiring fast, occasional and safe agitation, particularly in sensitive industrial environments.

Thanks to its pneumatic motor, it is an ideal alternative to electric agitators when the use of electricity is restricted or not recommended (ATEX zones, humid environments, flammable or hazardous atmospheres).

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

High agitation performance for rapid mixing

With a rotation speed of 1300 rpm and a Ø 120 mm propeller, this agitator generates dynamic mixing for rapid homogenisation of low-viscosity liquids.

Agitation characteristics:

• Rotation speed: 1300 rpm

• Flow rate: 156 m³/h

• Hydraulic speed: 2.7 m/s

• Axial force: 26 N

• Radial force: 12 N

➡️ Effective agitation for rapid mixing or resuspension operations.

Suitable for low-viscosity products

This agitator is recommended for products with:

• Viscosity: 0 to 1,000 cps

• Density: 0 to 1.2 kg/L

It is particularly suitable for the following applications:

• homogenisation of fluid liquids

• resuspension of lightly loaded products

• spot mixing before racking or transfer

• agitation in restricted or sensitive environments

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

Pneumatic motorisation: safety and reliability

Pneumatic motorisation offers many advantages in industrial environments:

• no electrical components

• increased safety in explosive atmospheres

• reliable operation in humid or aggressive environments

• ease of maintenance

This agitator is designed for short-term use (approximately 1 hour/day), perfectly suited to occasional needs.

Operating temperature range:

• –20 °C to +80 °C

Easy installation on a 1000-litre IBC tank

The agitator is equipped with a 1000 mm shaft, allowing sufficient immersion of the propeller in the IBC tank to ensure effective mixing.

👉 Please note: This agitator is supplied without a fixing crossbar for 1000-litre tanks. It therefore requires a fixing solution adapted to your tank configuration and operating environment.

Robust construction in 316L stainless steel

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

• excellent corrosion resistance

• compatibility with many chemicals

• optimal durability in industrial environments

The total weight of the package is 25 kg, offering a good compromise between robustness and manoeuvrability.

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

Key advantages of the IBC 1300 rpm pneumatic agitator

• Fast and efficient agitation

• Safe pneumatic motor

• Ideal for ATEX zones or sensitive environments

• Suitable for low-viscosity liquids

• 316L stainless steel for strength and durability

• Simple and occasional use

Available options (agitator sold "bare")

The 1000 L agitator is sold without options: you can add equipment for safety and ease of use according to your needs:

Filter regulator and lubricator *

* Learn more about the filter regulator and lubricator: A compressed air motor operates with air that is free of oil and water contamination. If the compressor is not equipped with a filter, the motor's service life will be very short (1 week).

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 are required (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).
