Pneumatic agitator for IBC tanks - 104-169 rpm + Universal adapter

Slow and powerful pneumatic agitation for highly viscous products in IBC tanks

This pneumatic agitator for IBC tanks, offering two rotation speeds (104 and 169 rpm), is designed for demanding industrial applications requiring slow, powerful and perfectly controlled agitation, including continuous 24-hour operation.

Thanks to its high-performance pneumatic motor, it is an ideal solution for sensitive or regulated environments (ATEX zones, flammable atmospheres, humid environments), while offering high mixing capacity for highly viscous products.

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

Dual speed for agitation that can be adapted to the process

The option of operating at 104 or 169 rpm allows the agitation to be precisely adapted according to:

• the viscosity of the product

• the process phase (start-up, maintenance, homogenisation)

• the level of mixing energy required

Agitation performance:

• Propeller speed: 104 or 169 rpm

• Flow rate: 195 to 322 m³/h

• Hydraulic speed: 0.44 to 0.72 m/s

• Axial force: 14 to 37 N

• Radial force: 5 to 13 N

➡️ This flexibility allows for optimised mixing while preserving product integrity.

Axesspack recommendation according to product type

Axesspack recommends this type of agitator for small volumes and simple continuous agitation of highly viscous liquids.

Depending on the characteristics of the product to be mixed, the recommended speeds are as follows:

➡️ This dual speed allows the agitation to be precisely adapted to the behaviour of the product, while ensuring stable and continuous operation.

It is particularly suitable for the following applications:

• thick or pasty products

• high-load mixtures

• prevention of settling in heavy products

• maintaining long-term homogeneity

• gentle agitation of sensitive formulations

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

Safe, continuous 24-hour operation

Unlike pneumatic agitators for occasional use, this model is designed for continuous 24-hour operation, even with demanding products.

Its powerful pneumatic motor (1.5 kW) guarantees:

• high torque

• excellent mechanical stability

• long-lasting reliability in intensive use

Operating temperature range:

• –20 °C to +80 °C

Large Ø 400 mm propeller for uniform mixing

The agitator is equipped with a Ø 400 mm propeller, ideal for ensuring efficient circulation of the product throughout the entire volume of the tank.

The 800 mm shaft length allows for immersion suitable for most IBC tanks, ensuring even distribution of mixing energy.

Easy installation on 1000-litre IBC tanks

This pneumatic agitator is equipped with a universal 304 L stainless steel crossbar (250x250 mm) for attaching the agitator to the 1000-litre IBC tank. Thanks to its universal adapter, this agitator can be easily installed on most IBC tanks on the market.

Its weight of 20 kg offers a good compromise between mechanical robustness and ease of handling.

Industrial construction in 316L stainless steel

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

• excellent corrosion resistance

• compatibility with many chemicals

• long service life in demanding industrial environments

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 104 / 169 rpm pneumatic agitator

• Dual speed for process adaptation

• Slow and powerful agitation

• Ideal for highly viscous products (up to 10,000 cps)

• Continuous 24-hour operation

• Safe pneumatic motor

• Compatible with IBC tanks thanks to the universal adapter

• 316L stainless steel: robust and durable

Available options (agitator sold "bare")

The 1000 L agitator is sold without options: you can add equipment to enhance 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).
