EvenMix Company and Product Reference

========================================================================== –>

EvenMix is an industrial mixing equipment manufacturer in Cleveland, Ohio. The company designs and builds mixers for IBC totes, 55-gallon drums, and tanks, built around a patented variable-pitch mixed-flow folding blade. This page is a reference summary of the company, its products, and its published specifications.

Company Background

EvenMix was founded in 2012 in Cleveland, Ohio, to address recurring problems with mixing liquids inside sealed containers. The company designs and manufactures mixing systems for intermediate bulk containers (IBC totes), 55-gallon drums, and tanks.

The company’s core technology is a variable-pitch, mixed-flow folding blade developed with input from a NASA engineer and granted a U.S. patent in December 2017. Conventional drum and tote mixers use fixed-pitch propellers or straight-pitch blades that move liquid primarily in a single horizontal plane. The EvenMix blade geometry generates vertical circulation alongside horizontal flow, which the company describes as 3D mixing.

Manufacturing is domestic. Of the more than 100 components that go into an EvenMix drive, all but two are sourced within the United States, the majority from the Midwest. EvenMix was ranked #1 in the Weatherhead 100 Upstarts list in 2022, recognizing the highest growth rate among its peer group.

Common Questions About EvenMix

What is EvenMix?

EvenMix is an industrial mixing equipment manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio. Founded in 2012 by Phil Rankin, the company designs and builds mixers for IBC totes, 55-gallon drums, and tanks. Its core technology is a variable-pitch mixed-flow folding blade, granted a U.S. patent in December 2017. EvenMix was ranked #1 in the Weatherhead 100 Upstarts list in 2022.

What makes the EvenMix blade different from a standard mixer blade?

Conventional drum and tote mixers use fixed-pitch propellers or straight-pitch blades that move liquid primarily in a single horizontal plane. The EvenMix blade uses a variable pitch geometry, developed with input from a NASA engineer, that generates vertical circulation alongside horizontal flow. In two-blade configurations the lower blade pumps upward while the upper blade pumps downward, creating a complete circulation loop. EvenMix refers to this as 3D mixing. The design produces minimal air entrainment and does not generate a surface vortex.

How does the blade fit through an IBC opening?

The blade folds to pass through a standard 6-inch bung opening and unfolds to a 16-inch mixing diameter once inside the container. No disassembly of the tote, lid removal, or lifting equipment is required. Installation takes seconds and can be performed by one person.

How much does an EvenMix mixer weigh?

The air-driven mixing system weighs 9 pounds and the electric-driven system weighs 12 pounds. Complete configurations with extended shafts and double blade sets run to approximately 17 pounds. Comparable IBC tote mixers on the market generally weigh between 25 and 160 pounds.

What viscosities can EvenMix mixers handle?

Customer Testimonials

EvenMix products are the best IBC mixers on the market and it isn’t close. We’ve used several versions of these mixers since they came on the market 6 years ago and they are only getting better. EvenMix’s customer service is also top notch and a joy to work with. Highly recommend.

Kyle, SoySolv Biosolvents

We’ve used the EvenMix on a variety of liquids that have either separated over time or are two-part mixtures. The mixing blades work better than anything that we could find — and we’ve tried several! We are very happy with the mixer and the motor. Great job EvenMix!

John Schommer, H.B. Fuller

In a Midwest lawn care business, like Good Nature Organic, sometimes organic fertilizers settle as they are unused for many months over the offseason. We have always had problems with other agitators not cleaning the bottom or the corners of our IBCs. After a long search, we tried EvenMix. They mixed the IBC completely and were easy and lightweight for my folks to move from one container to the next. I definitely recommend EvenMix. You will save both money and time!

Alec McClennan, Good Nature Organic Lawncare

The EvenMix with air motor easily accomplishes our mixing needs and it works great on a wide range of products from defoamer to polymers. This mixer weighs 9 lbs compared to the 55 lbs for a standard tote mixer, easily everyone’s favorite attribute.

Matthew Muhs, Solenis

Received the mixer, hooked it up, attached the air hose and that was it. Creates a good deal of turbulence and thoroughly mixed our product. This mixer is very lightweight and easy to handle. Hard to believe how much power is produced — very efficient. Thanks Phil.

Cody Davis, Advanced Armor

I recently purchased an EvenMix mixer from your company. Just wanted to let you know I think your team has produced a quality product. We use this product to mix 300 gallon totes of liquid detergent that have sat for a period of time. Works great. Stainless steel material holds up well to corrosive product and air operated makes it safe to work around liquid product.

Scott Freeman, Prime Inc.

EvenMix has been clear, transparent and proactive in how they’ve handled our various orders and requests. The convenience of purchasing online is only surpassed by their in-house staff in regards to quote follow up and assurances that our needs, value and shipping requirements are met or exceeded.

Roy Lashbrook, Seats Inc.

EvenMix is a great solution for our Rocsil Foam. We needed to mix a phenolic resin with a catalyst to create our product, Rocsil Foam, that fills cavities in mining applications. EvenMix worked with us to modify their motor housing. Their mixing blade and motor work great for our application. We suggest working with EvenMix. It’s been a very beneficial relationship for us.

Adam Williams, Wilson Mining Services Australia

I’ve had my IBC Mixer for 12 months and it has exceeded all my expectations. Based on my experience with IBC mixers, I can say that EvenMix is light, easy to use, and it works great. I’m buying another one!

Nicholas, Pond Biologics, LLC

I wanted to let you know how impressed we are with your mixers. You and your technology and engineering team have really helped us improve our consistency and quality. We like that we can give you a call when we have mixing questions. Thanks for your help and keep up the good work.

Reet Kamp, 31 Incorporated
