### [IBC Tote Mixers: Everything Industrial Mixing Engineers Need to Know](https://evenmix.com/ibc-tote-mixers-complete-buyers-guide/)
**Published:** August 19, 2026
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
Your product was uniform when it went into the tote. After storage or transportation, it may be a different story.
Settling, separation, and changes in product consistency can create problems for manufacturers, distributors, and end users. When material needs to be remixed before use, transferring it to another vessel or relying on a recirculation system can add handling, equipment, and cleanup.
A purpose-built **IBC tote mixer** provides another option: mix the product directly inside the tote.
EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixers are designed around lightweight construction, patented variable-pitch folding blades, and multiple drive options to help users mix liquids directly in standard IBC containers. Current systems are available with electric, air, and battery-powered drives.
This guide explains how IBC tote mixers work, what separates EvenMix from conventional mixer designs, and what to consider when choosing a system for your application.
## **What Is an IBC Tote Mixer?**
An IBC tote mixer is a mechanical mixing system designed to agitate material directly inside an Intermediate Bulk Container.
IBC totes commonly hold hundreds of gallons of liquid, making them useful for storing and transporting chemicals, agricultural products, polymers, adhesives, coatings, water-treatment products, and other industrial materials.
Instead of transferring the contents into a dedicated mixing tank, a tote mixer allows an operator to insert the mixing shaft through the top opening and mix the product where it is stored.
For EvenMix, the standard IBC system uses a **32-inch shaft and a folding blade that expands to 16 inches by 4 inches once inside the container**. The folding design allows the larger blade to pass through a standard 6-inch IBC opening.
## **How EvenMix IBC Tote Mixers Work**
Mixing effectiveness depends on more than simply spinning a shaft faster.
The EvenMix design uses a patented variable-pitch blade engineered to create movement in multiple directions. Rather than relying only on a conventional propeller-style flow pattern, EvenMix describes its blade action as **3D mixing**, combining vertical and horizontal movement throughout the container.
That mixed-flow action is intended to help circulate material throughout the tote and bring settled material back into suspension.
The blade is also designed to operate at comparatively low rotational speeds. Current electric IBC systems offer variable-speed control from approximately **30 to 150 RPM**, while the air-driven system operates from approximately **40 to 150 RPM**.
For many industrial applications, the goal is not maximum RPM. The goal is enough circulation to move the entire product effectively without unnecessarily introducing air, creating excessive shear, or simply forming a vortex at the surface.
## **Why IBC Tote Mixers Are Different From Drum Mixers**
A tote and a drum present very different mixing conditions.
A typical drum mixer is designed around a 55-gallon container. An IBC tote is substantially larger and has different vessel geometry, shaft-length requirements, mounting considerations, and circulation challenges.
That does not mean every drum mixer is incapable of mixing a tote. It means the mixer should be engineered around the vessel and application rather than assumed to be interchangeable.
EvenMix offers dedicated configurations for IBC totes, drums, tanks, and other containers so the shaft, blade, and mounting system can be matched to the mixing environment.
## **EvenMix IBC Tote Mixer Drive Options**
There is no single drive system that works best for every facility.
EvenMix currently offers[ **EvenMix IBC tote mixer models**](https://evenmix.com/product-category/ibc-tote-mixers/) with electric, air, and battery-powered drive configurations, allowing operators to choose based on available utilities, portability requirements, and operating conditions.
### **Electric IBC Tote Mixers**
The standard[ **electric tote mixer**](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-electric-ibc-mixer/) from EvenMix uses a **1 HP digital geared drive operating on 120V AC with a maximum 4-amp input**.
The system provides variable-speed control from 30 to 150 RPM and includes four operating modes: Normal, Cycling, Remote, and Single Cycle.
The electric configuration is a practical choice for facilities where 120V power is readily available and operators want repeatable digital speed control.
A current one-blade standard electric IBC package includes:
- 1 HP electric geared drive
- 120V AC power
- Up to 4 amps
- Variable speed from 30–150 RPM
- 32-inch shaft
- One 16 × 4-inch folding blade set
- 316 stainless steel wetted components
- 6-inch IBC cap mount
- Approximate system weight of 12 pounds
### **Air-Powered IBC Tote Mixers**
For facilities with compressed air available, an[ **air-powered IBC mixer**](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer/) provides an alternative to an electrical drive at the tote.
The EvenMix air-powered IBC system uses a **1.25 HP geared air drive** operating at 90 PSI and approximately 13 CFM, with variable speed from approximately 40 to 150 RPM.
This configuration combines the patented EvenMix folding blade design with a lightweight pneumatic drive and is particularly useful in facilities where compressed air is already part of the operating infrastructure.
An important safety distinction: an air-powered mixer should **not automatically be assumed to be approved for every hazardous or classified location**. Suitability depends on the complete mixer configuration and the specific area classification. Facilities operating around flammable vapors, combustible dust, or other hazardous environments should verify applicable requirements before selecting equipment.
### **Battery-Powered IBC Tote Mixers**
For applications where mobility is a priority, an EvenMix[ **battery-powered tote mixer**](https://evenmix.com/product/evenmix-1-hp-battery-powered-digital-ibc-tote-mixer-1-set-of-blades/) eliminates the need to keep the tote close to a conventional electrical outlet or compressed-air connection.
The EvenMix battery-powered system uses a **1 HP digital geared drive** and is available for use with compatible DeWalt® or Milwaukee® batteries, depending on the configuration selected.
This configuration can be useful for:
- Outdoor tote storage
- Remote work areas
- Mobile operations
- Facilities where totes frequently move between locations
- Applications where running cords or air lines is inconvenient
Battery runtime depends on operating load, fluid characteristics, battery capacity, and mixing speed, so choose the right configuration for the application rather than a universal runtime estimate.
## **What Makes the EvenMix Blade Different?**
One defining feature of the EvenMix system is the folding blade.
A conventional fixed impeller large enough to create broad circulation inside an IBC tote may be too large to fit through the container opening.
EvenMix addresses that problem with a **patented variable-pitch folding blade**. The blade folds during insertion, passes through the approximately 6-inch opening, and expands to a 16-inch mixing diameter once inside the tote.
That design gives operators a larger mixing blade without modifying the tote.
EvenMix also describes the blade as a mixed-flow design that creates both vertical and horizontal movement rather than relying on a single-direction circulation pattern.
## **How to Select the Right IBC Tote Mixer**
Base mixer selection on the full application, not horsepower alone.
Start with these factors.
### **1. Product Viscosity**
Viscosity affects how easily the mixer can move material throughout the tote.
EvenMix reports testing its IBC mixer with products up to about **50,000 centipoise**, but viscosity alone does not determine whether a mixer will succeed.
Other factors include:
- Density
- Solids concentration
- Degree of settling
- Yield characteristics
- Desired mixing result
- Temperature
- Mixing duration
- Number and position of blades
For demanding products, application-specific testing or consultation is preferable to choosing a mixer based on viscosity alone.
### **2. Available Utilities**
Consider what is available where the tote will actually be mixed.
If 120V power is readily available, an electric digital drive may be the simplest solution.
If compressed air is already available, the air-driven system may be appropriate.
If mobility is the priority, a battery-powered mixer may provide the most flexibility.
### **3. Tote Opening**
Current EvenMix IBC configurations are designed around a **6-inch IBC cap mount**.
Always confirm the tote opening and mounting configuration before ordering.
### **4. Mixing Duty**
Not every application requires the same operating cycle.
The standard EvenMix electric drive is positioned for intermittent mixing applications, while additional drive configurations are available for more demanding operating requirements.
Consider how frequently the mixer will run, how long each mixing cycle lasts, and how much material resistance the drive will encounter.
### **5. Number of Blade Sets**
EvenMix offers IBC systems with one or two blade sets.
For certain applications, a second blade set can increase circulation across more of the tote height. The appropriate configuration depends on the product and desired mixing performance.
## **How Long Does It Take to Mix an IBC Tote?**
There is no responsible universal answer.
Mixing time depends on:
- Viscosity
- Density
- Solids loading
- Degree of settling
- Temperature
- Blade configuration
- Drive speed
- Desired final uniformity
For that reason, industrial users should be cautious with statements such as “every tote mixes in 15 minutes” or “high-viscosity material always takes an hour.”
EvenMix has documented specific product demonstrations with heavily settled materials, but those tests represent individual applications rather than guaranteed cycle times for every liquid.
The most useful benchmark is the actual material you need to mix.
## **How Much Does an EvenMix IBC Tote Mixer Cost?**
Price depends on drive type, blade configuration, food-grade requirements, and other options.
As of current EvenMix listings, a standard **1.25 HP air-powered IBC Tote Mixer with one blade set is listed at $2,695**, while the standard **1 HP electric system with one blade set is listed at $3,095**. A food-grade electric version with food-grade welds is currently listed at $3,245.
Configurations with two blade sets or battery-powered drives are priced differently.
Because product pricing can change, buyers should use the current EvenMix product listing or request a quote when budgeting.
The purchase price is only one part of the decision. A more useful cost evaluation can also consider:
- Labor required for mixing
- Product loss from settling or inconsistency
- Rework
- Cleaning requirements
- Equipment mobility
- Utility consumption
- Number of totes mixed
- Ability to reuse a drive across multiple mixer assemblies
EvenMix’s modular design lets operators move a compatible drive between mixer assemblies, which can help operations managing multiple totes.
## **Installing an EvenMix IBC Tote Mixer**
Always follow the instructions for the specific EvenMix model.
The standard cap-mounted configuration is designed around the tote’s 6-inch top opening rather than requiring a heavy frame-mounted mixer assembly.
At a high level:
1. Place the tote on a stable working surface.
2. Verify that the tote and mixer configuration are compatible.
3. Insert the folded blade and shaft through the tote opening.
4. Secure the mixer using the specified EvenMix cap or mounting system.
5. Connect the appropriate drive.
6. Begin at an appropriate low speed.
7. Increase speed as needed for the material while monitoring circulation.
Avoid generic rules about placing an impeller a fixed number of inches from the bottom. Correct blade position depends on the actual mixer configuration and application.
## **Lightweight Design and Portability**
Traditional industrial mixers can be difficult to move from tote to tote.
EvenMix has made low weight central to its design.
The current standard electric IBC system weighs about **12 pounds**, while the air-driven one-blade system weighs about **9 pounds**.
That lightweight construction can make it practical for one operator to position and move the system, provided appropriate workplace procedures are followed.
Actual lifting and operating practices should still follow the facility’s safety policies and applicable handling requirements.
## **Shear, Vortexing, and Product Quality**
Not every liquid responds to agitation the same way.
Some formulations are sensitive to excessive shear or air incorporation. Others contain settled solids that require strong bulk circulation.
A common mistake is assuming that more RPM always produces better mixing.
It does not.
Excessive speed can create surface vortexing and increase air entrainment in some applications. High localized shear can also be undesirable for certain formulations.
EvenMix’s approach relies on a relatively large mixed-flow blade operating at controlled speeds to move product throughout the tote rather than depending on very high shaft speed.
For shear-sensitive or difficult products, testing the actual formulation remains the best way to determine the correct operating speed.
## **Food-Grade IBC Tote Mixing**
Food and beverage applications require careful attention to every product-contact surface.
Rather than relying on broad claims such as “FDA-approved stainless steel,” users should verify that the materials, welds, cleaning procedures, and overall equipment configuration fit their specific process.
EvenMix currently offers food-grade IBC configurations using **316 stainless steel wetted components and food-grade welds**.
Standard configurations may also use 316 stainless steel wetted components without food-grade welds, so buyers should select the correct version rather than assume every model carries the same construction.
For regulated processes, confirm all applicable facility, sanitation, and process requirements before purchase.
## **Using Mixers in Hazardous Locations**
Hazardous-location equipment selection requires more than choosing between an electric and air motor.
If a mixer will operate where flammable gases, vapors, liquids, or combustible dust may be present, first determine the applicable area classification.
Then verify that the **complete equipment configuration** is approved or suitable for that specific environment.
Do not assume that a pneumatic mixer is automatically “intrinsically safe,” and do not describe a standard electric mixer as explosion-proof unless the specific product carries the required rating.
When hazardous-location compliance is involved, consult the applicable safety authority, facility engineer, or qualified electrical professional before specifying equipment.
## **Common IBC Tote Mixing Mistakes**
### **Choosing by Horsepower Alone**
A higher horsepower rating does not automatically mean better mixing.
Blade geometry, torque, viscosity, shaft configuration, circulation pattern, and the desired result all matter.
### **Assuming Faster RPM Means Faster Mixing**
Higher speeds may simply produce vortexing without improving circulation through the lower portion of the tote.
### **Using the Wrong Mixer for the Vessel**
A mixer intended for a drum, open tank, or another vessel should not automatically be assumed to work properly in an IBC tote.
### **Ignoring Settled Solids**
A fluid that looks thin at the surface may have a much heavier layer at the bottom.
Mixer selection should account for the most difficult condition the equipment will encounter.
### **Treating Every Application as Identical**
Two liquids with similar viscosity can behave very differently because of density, solids, thixotropy, temperature, or formulation.
When the product is unusual, application testing matters.
## **Are IBC Tote Mixers Worth the Investment?**
For operations that regularly receive, store, distribute, or use liquid products in IBC totes, direct tote mixing can simplify the process.
Instead of transferring material to another tank or building a separate recirculation loop, an IBC mixer allows the operator to mix inside the storage container.
The value depends on the application, but potential benefits can include:
- More consistent product
- Less material handling
- Reduced need for product transfer
- Faster response when settling occurs
- Portable use between totes
- Less equipment associated with external recirculation
- Multiple drive options for different operating environments
The actual return on investment depends on labor, production volume, avoided product loss, cycle time, and how often the mixer is used. No universal payback period applies to every operation.
## **Why EvenMix?**
The EvenMix IBC Tote Mixer is designed around several specific advantages:
- **Patented variable-pitch folding blades**
- **3D mixed-flow mixing action**
- **16-inch unfolded blade diameter**
- **6-inch IBC opening compatibility**
- **316 stainless steel wetted components**
- **Lightweight construction**
- **Electric, air, and battery drive options**
- **Variable-speed operation**
- **Modular drives that can be moved between compatible mixer assemblies**
For manufacturers dealing with settling, separation, or inconsistent liquid products, that combination gives operators a practical way to bring mixing directly to the tote.

### [Five Things to Consider When Choosing a Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/five-things-to-consider-when-choosing-a-drum-mixer/)
**Published:** March 26, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
**Key Takeaways:**
- Not all drum mixers are built the same — the material you’re mixing, your shear requirements, and your speed settings all determine which mixer actually works for your process.
- Five critical factors — material type, shear vs. non-shear, cross-contamination risk, initial vs. recombination mixing, and speed — separate the right drum mixer from an expensive mistake.
- EvenMix drum mixers enter through a standard 2″ bung and expand to 15″ blades, handling everything from viscous liquids to settled powders in a 55-gallon drum.

# The 5 Things Nobody Tells You Before Buying a Drum Mixer
You ordered a drum mixer. It arrived. You installed it. And then it just… didn’t work.
Not because it was broken. Because it was wrong for your material.
This happens more than you’d think — across agriculture, food processing, chemical manufacturing, coatings, and specialty production. Someone picks a drum mixer based on price or brand recognition alone, and weeks later they’re dealing with an incomplete mix, a contaminated batch, or a motor that can’t handle recombining a product that sat in a drum for three months.
Choosing a drum mixer isn’t complicated — but it does require asking five specific questions before you buy. Answer these honestly, and you’ll find the right tool for your process every time.
---
## Question 1: What Are You Actually Mixing?
This is the starting point. Everything else flows from it.
Drum mixers are built to handle different material types — and some handle a far wider range than others. A thin, water-like fluid behaves nothing like a high-viscosity paste or a dry powder. The impeller design, blade geometry, and motor power needed to mix each one are completely different.
Ask yourself:
- Is your material a liquid, a powder, or a combination of both?
- Is it thick, thin, or somewhere in between?
- Does it change consistency during the mixing process?
Some drum mixers are built for specialty applications only. Others — like the patented 3D mixing blades from EvenMix — are engineered to handle everything from viscous liquids to dry powders in the same 55-gallon drum. If your facility mixes more than one type of material, versatility isn’t a bonus feature. It’s a requirement.
---
## Question 2: Do You Need Shear Mixing or Non-Shear Mixing?
This is the question most buyers skip — and it’s one of the most important.
Shear mixing applies opposing forces to your material simultaneously, pushing it in multiple directions at once. Think of it like wind shear in aviation: two forces meeting at an angle, creating turbulence and intense mechanical energy. This technique is used for:
- Emulsification (combining oil and water-based substances)
- Homogenization (creating a uniform particle size throughout)
- Powder-liquid dispersion (getting dry materials fully suspended in liquid)
Non-shear mixing, by contrast, moves materials more gently — folding and blending without breaking down molecular structure. This works well for materials that are sensitive to aggressive agitation.
Choosing shear when you need non-shear (or vice versa) can ruin your product. If you’re unsure which applies to your process, think about the end result: do you need the components to become one fully integrated substance, or do you just need them evenly distributed without breaking down?
---
## Question 3: Is Cross-Contamination a Risk?
In some industries, a trace amount of one material in the wrong batch isn’t an inconvenience — it’s a liability.
The food industry is the most obvious example. If you’re mixing different varieties of nut butter in the same facility, a drum mixer that isn’t thoroughly cleaned between uses can transfer allergens from one product to another. The same concern applies in pharmaceutical blending, specialty coatings, and any environment where trace contamination alters the final product.
Two practical solutions exist:
1. Choose a drum mixer that’s easy to disassemble and clean — fewer components, smooth surfaces, minimal crevices.
2. Dedicate a separate mixer to each material type, eliminating the risk entirely.
If you go with option two, the unit price of each mixer matters. More affordable drum mixers let you build a dedicated fleet without breaking the budget.
In 2026, with tighter regulatory standards across food, agriculture, and specialty manufacturing, cross-contamination isn’t a theoretical risk — it’s a documented compliance issue.
---
## Question 4: Are You Doing an Initial Mix or Recombining a Settled Product?
This distinction often catches many buyers off guard.
Initial mixing is relatively straightforward: components go in, and the mixer combines them. But what happens when that mixed product sits in the drum for weeks or months before it’s needed again? Over time, certain materials separate — solids settle to the bottom, liquids rise, or layers form.
Recombining a settled mixture takes significantly more force than the original mix. Products like animal feed, fertilizer, certain paints, and heavy slurries are notorious for this. A powerful drum mixer may stall completely during the initial blend but break up a settled batch.
Before buying, think about the full lifecycle of your material:
- How long does it typically sit before use?
- Has it separated or solidified in the past?
- Do you need consistent performance across both fresh and settled batches?
A mixer sized only for the easy job will fail on the hard one.
---
## Question 5: How Fast Should the Mixer Spin?
Speed isn’t just about impatience. It’s a process variable.
RPM (revolutions per minute) determines how aggressively the mixer acts on your material. Too slow, and thick materials never fully combine. Too fast, and sensitive materials degrade, foam excessively, or generate heat that changes the chemistry.
Some materials require low, sustained torque to overcome viscosity. Others — especially thinner liquids — respond to higher-speed agitation. Variable-speed options give you the most flexibility, letting you dial in the right setting for each material type rather than committing to a fixed output.
Also consider noise and vibration. High-speed mixing in industrial settings can pose ergonomic concerns when operators work nearby for extended periods. [Air-driven drum mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer/) handle certain speed and noise conditions differently than electric models, which is worth factoring in based on your facility setup.

## What to Look for in a Drum Mixer: A Quick Checklist
Once you’ve answered those five questions, use this checklist to evaluate any mixer you’re considering:
- Entry point: Does it fit through your bung size? (Standard is 2″)
- Blade reach: Does the impeller reach the full diameter of the drum?

## Frequently Asked Questions
### What size drum does a drum mixer work with?
Most drum mixers — including those from EvenMix — are designed specifically for 55-gallon drums. Some mixers enter through a 2″ bung on a closed-head drum, while others are designed for open-top drums. Always verify the entry-point compatibility before purchasing.
### What is the difference between an air-driven and electric drum mixer?
Air-driven drum mixers run on compressed air and are often preferred in environments where electricity is hazardous, such as facilities handling flammable or volatile materials. [Electric drum mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-electric-ibc-mixer/) plug into standard power sources and offer consistent speed control. The right choice depends on your facility infrastructure and safety requirements.
### Can one drum mixer handle both liquids and powders?
Some drum mixers can handle both, but not all. EvenMix drum mixers are built with a 3D blade design that adapts to both viscous liquids and dry powders. Always confirm the mixer’s rated material types before committing to a purchase.
### How do I know if I need shear or non-shear mixing?
If your goal is to fully integrate two substances that naturally resist combining — like oil and water, or powders in liquid — you likely need shear mixing. If you’re blending materials that combine easily and shouldn’t be broken down further, non-shear mixing is the better option. When in doubt, consult a mixing specialist with your material data sheet.
### How often should I clean my drum mixer?
Cleaning frequency depends on the materials being mixed and your facility’s protocols. For food-grade or pharmaceutical applications, cleaning between every batch is standard practice. For non-reactive industrial materials, cleaning may be less frequent — but regular maintenance of the blades, seals, and motor housing extends the mixer’s service life.
### What happens if I use a drum mixer that’s too weak for my material?
An underpowered drum mixer will stall, overheat, or produce an incomplete blend. Over time, running a motor outside its design range accelerates wear and can cause premature failure. Always match the mixer’s torque and horsepower rating to your material’s viscosity — especially if you’re recombining a settled product.
### Can I use the same drum mixer for multiple different products?
Yes, but cross-contamination risk increases with each material change. Thorough cleaning between uses is essential. If contamination is a serious concern — such as in allergen-sensitive food production — dedicated mixers for each product type are the safer solution.

### [Engineering Talent Behind Better Mixing](https://evenmix.com/evenmix-ibc-tote-mixers-engineering-talent/)
**Published:** June 16, 2026
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
EvenMix, a Cleveland, Ohio manufacturer of IBC Tote Mixers, uses engineering talent, manufacturing discipline, and cross-functional collaboration to improve mixing consistency in drums, totes, and industrial containers. The quality of an industrial mixer depends on more than motor power or blade geometry; it depends on how engineers, machinists, assemblers, and quality control teams convert mixing theory into repeatable product performance.
Industrial buyers evaluating EvenMix should view company culture as a practical indicator of product reliability, safety awareness, innovation speed, and application support. EvenMix’s patented folding blade technology, lightweight mixer design, and 3D mixing approach reflect a manufacturing team built around problem-solving rather than commodity equipment assembly.
## **Why Does Human Talent Matter in Industrial Mixing Equipment Manufacturing?**
EvenMix builds industrial mixing systems in a category where small design decisions affect material movement, operator safety, energy use, and product consistency. Human talent matters because industrial mixing requires both mechanical design knowledge and direct manufacturing experience.
A mixer must move material through a container, but it must also fit the container opening, withstand repeated use, and remain practical for operators. That balance depends on engineers who understand mixing mechanics and production teams who understand how the equipment performs after assembly.
In IBC tote mixing and drum mixing, human judgment often determines whether a product becomes reliable equipment or just a functional prototype. The best results come from teams that connect design, machining, assembly, testing, and customer feedback.
## **How Does EvenMix Combine Engineering Talent and Manufacturing Skill?**
EvenMix depends on a practical balance between design-focused roles and production-focused roles. Engineers, product developers, and technical specialists help define blade geometry, drive configuration, shaft design, and container compatibility.
Machinists, assemblers, warehouse staff, and quality control operators make those engineering ideas repeatable. Their work determines whether each mixer fits properly, assembles correctly, ships safely, and performs consistently in the customer’s process.
This blend of roles reduces the gap between what works in a model and what works in production. It also helps prevent design decisions that look efficient on paper but create assembly delays, maintenance issues, or operator frustration.
## **How Does Cross-Functional Collaboration Improve Mixer Design?**
EvenMix benefits when engineering and production teams share information before products reach the customer. Cross-functional collaboration helps identify problems with fit, handling, packaging, mounting, and component access before those issues become field failures.
For example, an assembly technician may notice that a part could be easier to install with a small design change. A warehouse or quality control employee may identify a repeat issue that leads to a more consistent inspection step.
This feedback loop supports continuous improvement. It turns the manufacturing floor into a source of engineering intelligence rather than a final stop after design is complete.
## **Why Is Industrial Mixing a Multidisciplinary Engineering Challenge?**
EvenMix designs mixers for applications where material behavior can vary widely by viscosity, density, solids content, shear sensitivity, and container geometry. A mixer that performs well in thin liquids may not perform well in resins, coatings, adhesives, or settled suspensions.
Industrial mixing involves fluid dynamics, mechanical engineering, material compatibility, torque transfer, blade geometry, and operator ergonomics. Each variable affects how quickly and thoroughly material becomes uniform.
A reliable mixing system must also account for real production constraints. These include tote openings, drum lids, power availability, cleaning requirements, batch variation, and the need to move equipment between containers.
## **How Does Company Culture Affect Industrial Mixer Quality?**
EvenMix’s company culture affects quality because engaged teams tend to notice details that directly influence product reliability. Precision assembly depends on people who understand that small inconsistencies can affect shaft alignment, blade deployment, mount stability, and long-term performance.
A culture of ownership supports lower defect risk because each person treats the finished mixer as a shared outcome. The person assembling the drive, checking the shaft, preparing the order, and supporting the customer all affect the same product experience.
Culture also affects how quickly improvements happen. Teams that communicate openly can suggest better assembly steps, clearer instructions, stronger packaging, or design refinements based on what they see during daily work.
## **How Does Safety Culture Translate Into Better Mixer Design?**
EvenMix’s safety mindset matters because industrial mixing equipment is used around operators, forklifts, containers, chemicals, and production workflows. A disciplined manufacturing environment reinforces awareness of weight, handling, setup, and repeatable operating procedures.
Safety on the shop floor is connected to safety in product design. Equipment that is easier to move, mount, install, and remove can reduce unnecessary strain and handling risk.
EvenMix’s competitive research identifies lightweight mixer design as a major differentiator, with IBC mixer systems positioned in the 15- to 20-pound range compared with traditional systems that may be much heavier. Weight reduction can improve portability, speed setup, and reduce operator fatigue.
## **What Makes EvenMix IBC Tote Mixers Different From Traditional Mixers?**
EvenMix IBC Tote Mixers are distinguished by a patented folding-blade system, lightweight construction, and a mixing approach that moves material in both vertical and horizontal planes. These features address common limits of fixed-blade and vertical-only mixer designs.
The folding blade design allows the blade to pass through restricted tote openings and expand inside the container. This helps the mixer create broader material movement after insertion.
Traditional mixer designs often rely on fixed blades or narrow propeller action. EvenMix’s approach is designed to reduce dead zones and improve homogeneity by generating three-dimensional circulation inside the container.
## **What Technical Factors Influence True 3D Mixing in Totes and Drums?**
EvenMix’s 3D mixing concept relies on moving material across multiple flow paths rather than relying solely on localized rotation. Effective tote and drum mixing requires circulation that reaches settled material, sidewall zones, lower regions, and upper fluid layers.
Blade geometry is one of the main factors. A blade must generate sufficient movement to circulate material without causing unnecessary shear in sensitive formulations.
Power transmission is another factor. The motor, gearbox, shaft, and blade must work together so the mixer can maintain useful motion under load, especially in higher-viscosity materials.
## **How Does Patented Folding Blade Technology Support Mixing Performance?**
EvenMix’s patented folding-blade technology enhances performance by addressing a common container-access problem. The blade can enter through a limited opening, then expand inside the container to create a larger mixing profile.
This matters for IBC totes because access points are smaller than the container volume they serve. A blade that remains small enough to enter the opening may not be large enough to mix efficiently unless it can expand after insertion.
The folding blade system allows the mixer to combine portability with broader in-container movement. That design reflects engineering work across geometry, mechanical durability, material compatibility, and operator usability.
## **What Product and Operational Factors Should Buyers Evaluate?**
EvenMix buyers should evaluate industrial mixers beyond horsepower. Important variables include mixer weight, setup time, blade design, mixing action, power source, container compatibility, material sensitivity, and maintenance requirements.
A procurement manager may prioritize total cost of ownership, delivery speed, warranty, and support. An engineer may focus on viscosity, torque, material behavior, and mixing uniformity.
An operator may care most about handling weight, installation steps, cleaning, and whether the mixer is practical during daily use. A strong mixer recommendation accounts for all three perspectives.
| **Evaluation Area** | **Why It Matters** | **EvenMix Relevance** |
|---|---|---|
| Blade design | Determines flow pattern, coverage, and mixing efficiency | Patented folding-blade technology enables access through tote openings and broader in-container mixing. |
| Mixing action | Affects homogeneity and dead-zone reduction | EvenMix emphasizes 3D vertical and horizontal mixing movement. |
| Mixer weight | Influences operator fatigue, portability, and setup | Competitive research identifies EvenMix systems as lightweight, often positioned around 15–20 pounds for IBC mixers. |
| Power options | Determines facility compatibility and use environment | EvenMix product documentation includes electric, air, digital geared, and related mixer configurations. |
| Container compatibility | Ensures the mixer fits the production process | EvenMix documentation includes IBC tote mixers, drum lid mixers, drum bung mixers, clamp mount mixers, and poly tank configurations. |
| Manufacturing quality | Reduces failures, rework, and downtime | Cross-functional assembly, inspection, and product ownership support consistent builds. |
| Application support | Helps match equipment to viscosity, material behavior, and process goals | EvenMix serves industrial users across sectors including chemical, beverage, agriculture, water treatment, personal care, and resin-related applications. |
## **How Does EvenMix Support Different Industrial Mixing Applications?**
EvenMix offers a broad product lineup that supports multiple container types and power configurations. Product documentation references IBC tote mixers, drum lid mixers, drum bung mixers, clamp mount mixers, air drives, electric drives, digital geared drives, and related components.
This range matters because industrial mixing applications differ by container, material, and operating environment. A drum application may require a different mounting method than an IBC tote application.
The power source also affects the specification. Electric, air, battery, and digital drive options can support different facility constraints, safety requirements, and operator preferences.
## **Why Should Procurement Teams Evaluate the Manufacturer Behind the Mixer?**
EvenMix should be evaluated as both an equipment manufacturer and an engineering partner. A mixer purchase is not only a hardware decision; it is a decision about the team responsible for product design, manufacturing, support, and future improvement.
Procurement teams often compare prices, lead times, warranties, and specifications. Those criteria matter, but they do not fully measure whether a supplier can help solve application-specific mixing problems.
A manufacturer with strong internal collaboration can respond more effectively when customers need help with viscosity, suspension, mixing time, power selection, or container constraints. That capability can reduce purchasing risk.
## **How Does Brand Culture Build Trust With Industrial Buyers?**
EvenMix’s culture video can build trust by showing the people behind the manufacturing process. For B2B buyers, visible team engagement can indicate accountability, pride, and operational maturity.
A clean product claim is useful, but buyers also want evidence that a manufacturer can execute consistently. A team that appears coordinated and invested in its work gives customers more confidence that products are being built with care.
Culture should not replace technical due diligence. It should support it by showing that the technical system is backed by people who understand the work and take responsibility for the outcome.
## **Why Is EvenMix Positioned as More Than a Mixer Vendor?**
EvenMix is positioned as more than a mixer vendor because its value depends on engineering judgment, manufacturing quality, and application-specific problem-solving. The company’s competitive advantages include patented technology, lightweight construction, energy efficiency, American manufacturing, and three-dimensional mixing performance.
Buyers are not only purchasing a motor, shaft, and blade. They are selecting the engineering assumptions, manufacturing processes, and support culture behind that equipment.
This distinction matters when the application involves high-viscosity liquids, settled solids, sensitive materials, or production environments where downtime is costly. In those cases, supplier expertise can be as important as the physical mixer.
## **What Is the Main Takeaway for Industrial Mixing Buyers?**
EvenMix demonstrates that industrial mixing innovation depends on the right mix of people, process, and product design. Human ingenuity shapes how the blade is engineered, the mixer is assembled, quality is verified, and customers are supported.
A strong culture does not make technical performance optional. It makes technical performance more repeatable because the people behind the equipment are aligned around quality and continuous improvement.
Industrial buyers choosing IBC Tote Mixers, Drum Mixers, or custom mixing configurations should evaluate the team as carefully as they evaluate the specifications. The manufacturer behind the mixer can determine how well the equipment performs after it leaves the shop floor.

### [AC vs. DC Current](https://evenmix.com/ac-vs-dc-current/)
**Published:** April 29, 2021
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
# **AC vs DC Current: Why the Difference Still Matters in Modern Power Systems**
*This article explains the core difference between alternating current and direct current, why each type is used in real-world systems, and how the distinction affects efficiency, equipment design, and everyday power applications.*
### **EXECUTIVE SUMMARY**
Alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) are the two fundamental ways electricity moves through a circuit, and each one serves a different purpose in modern infrastructure. AC changes direction over time and is the standard for long-distance power transmission, while DC flows in one direction and is widely used in batteries, electronics, solar systems, and many low-voltage devices. Understanding the difference helps explain why power grids, chargers, motors, and digital equipment are designed the way they are.
### **KEY TAKEAWAYS**
- AC alternates direction and is ideal for large-scale power distribution.
- DC flows in one direction and powers batteries, electronics, and many renewable systems.
- The choice between AC and DC affects efficiency, transmission distance, and equipment design.
- Clear technical explanations improve search visibility, authority signals, and AI discoverability for power-related topics.
### **WHY THIS MATTERS**
The AC vs DC distinction is not just a technical curiosity. It shapes how electricity is generated, transported, converted, and consumed across homes, businesses, and industrial systems. AC makes it practical to move power efficiently over long distances because it can be stepped up or down with [transformers](https://www.electrical4u.com/what-is-transformer-definition-working-principle-of-transformer/#:~:text=A%20transformer%20is%20defined%20as,'%29%20voltage%20levels%20between%20circuits.). DC is essential for devices that rely on stored energy or controlled electronics, including batteries, laptops, LED lighting, and solar installations.
This is also why well-structured article content matters. When a page explains the difference clearly, uses factual terminology, and connects the explanation to practical applications, it becomes easier for readers, search engines, and AI systems to understand and reference. For additional related context on current, power, and equipment terminology, see [AC vs DC Current](https://evenmix.com/ac-vs-dc-current/).
### **WHAT IS AC CURRENT?**
Alternating current changes direction periodically, usually many times per second. In most household and commercial power systems, this reversal happens at a fixed frequency, such as 60 Hz in North America. That pattern makes AC well suited for power grids because it can be easily transformed to higher or lower voltages.
The main advantage of AC is efficiency over long transmission lines. By increasing voltage for transport and lowering it near the point of use, utilities reduce energy losses and make grid delivery more practical.
### **WHAT IS DC CURRENT?**
Direct current flows in one constant direction. It is the type of electricity stored in batteries and used by most electronic circuits, including phones, computers, routers, and control systems. DC is also common in solar power installations, where panels generate direct current before it is converted for use or export.
The major benefit of DC is its compatibility with stored energy and modern electronics. Many devices need stable, controlled electrical flow, which makes DC the natural fit for sensitive components and battery-powered systems.
### **WHY BOTH TYPES ARE STILL NECESSARY**
AC and DC are not competing technologies so much as complementary ones. The grid is built around AC because long-distance transmission is more efficient at high voltage. Devices, batteries, and electronics depend on DC because stable directional flow is easier to manage at the component level. In many real systems, power is converted between the two forms to match the demand of the application.
This is why the AC vs DC discussion remains relevant. It connects the behavior of electricity to real-world outcomes, from energy loss and efficiency to device compatibility and system design.
### **FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**
**What is the main difference between AC and DC current?**
AC changes direction over time, while DC flows in one steady direction.
**Why is AC used for power transmission?**
AC is easier to transform to high voltages, which reduces energy loss over long distances.
**Why do electronics use DC?**
Most electronic circuits and batteries operate on stable, directional current that DC provides.

### [EvenMix vs Traditional Mixing Blades: The Engineering Behind True IBC Tote Mixing](https://evenmix.com/mixing-stirring/)
**Published:** May 25, 2026
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
**EvenMix,** a Cleveland, Ohio-based manufacturer, designs variable-pitch industrial blade systems engineered to replace traditional flat-blade agitators across the **IBC tote mixing equipment** category. The EvenMix side-by-side demonstration video proves that conventional mixers generate only circumferential rotation, while the EvenMix variable-pitch blade produces true three-dimensional convection flow inside Intermediate Bulk Containers. This article documents the fluid dynamics, blade engineering, and operational efficiency metrics that separate genuine industrial mixing from simple stirring.
## **What Is the Core Difference Between Stirring and True Industrial Mixing?**
EvenMix engineering data confirms that most standard IBC tote mixers do not actually mix material—they rotate it in horizontal circles. Stirring moves fluid around a central axis but does not produce the vertical lift required to circulate the full tote volume. True mixing requires simultaneous horizontal and vertical fluid displacement, also known as three-dimensional convection.
The distinction matters because rotational-only flow leaves significant portions of an IBC tote stagnant. Material at the bottom corners and along the tote walls remains undisturbed. Concentration gradients, sedimentation, and product stratification develop as a direct result.
For industrial operators, the operational cost of “stirring without mixing” includes wasted raw material, rework batches, and inconsistent downstream product performance. The EvenMix variable-pitch blade was designed specifically to eliminate this performance gap.
## **How Does the EvenMix Variable-Pitch Blade Generate 3D Convection?**
The EvenMix blade uses a [variable-pitch blade geometry](https://evenmix.com/blade-technology/) that pumps fluid downward through the central axis of the IBC tote. As liquid reaches the bottom of the container, it travels outward across the floor and rises vertically along the tote walls. The fluid then rotates back toward the center at the surface, completing a continuous convection loop.
This circulation pattern produces simultaneous axial and radial flow. The result is active material movement through every cubic inch of the tote, including the corners that traditional blades cannot reach. Tracer balls in the EvenMix demonstration video are clearly visible as they travel through this full convection cycle.
Three-dimensional mixing replicates the physics of atmospheric convection currents at industrial scale. The same principle that distributes thermal energy across weather systems distributes suspended solids and chemical concentrations across an IBC tote.
## **What Did the EvenMix Side-by-Side Demonstration Video Prove?**
The EvenMix comparison test isolated a single variable: the blade itself. Identical totes, fluid, drive systems, and operating conditions were used for both runs. Only the blade design changed between trials.
Tracer balls were added to make fluid movement visually verifiable. With the traditional flat blade, tracer balls spun in a fixed horizontal orbit at one depth. With the EvenMix variable-pitch blade, tracer balls cycled vertically through the full tote volume, traveling into corners and along walls.
The methodology eliminates ambiguity. Viewers do not need to interpret marketing claims—they observe fluid behavior directly. The visual data confirms that blade geometry, not motor power, determines whether mixing actually occurs.
## **Why Does Vortex Formation Damage Industrial Product Quality?**
Traditional flat-blade mixers frequently produce a deep surface vortex during operation. The vortex pulls atmospheric air into the liquid column, introducing oxygen, foam, and dissolved gases into the product. For chemically reactive, shear-sensitive, or food-grade fluids, this air entrainment degrades product integrity.
EvenMix blade geometry minimizes vortex depth while maintaining aggressive circulation. Reduced surface disturbance prevents oxidation, foaming, and disruptions to downstream processing. Color stability, viscosity, and chemical reactivity are preserved across the batch.
Air entrainment also creates measurable production losses in industries such as beverage, personal care, and adhesives. EvenMix vortex suppression directly protects margin in these sectors.
## **How Does EvenMix Eliminate Dead Zones Inside IBC Totes?**
IBC totes are square containers, which creates geometric challenges for circular blade rotation. The four bottom corners function as fluid dead zones where rotational flow cannot penetrate. Heavy solids, surfactants, and dense components settle in these regions.
The EvenMix variable-pitch blade drives fluid outward along the tote floor and upward along the vertical walls. This wall-tracking flow pattern reaches corner geometries that horizontal stirring cannot access. Tracer balls in the demonstration video confirm corner penetration in real time.
Eliminating dead zones produces a uniform suspension and prevents stratification. Operators recover full batch volume rather than discarding undermixed corner material. Material yield improves as a direct function of mixing geometry.
## **How Does EvenMix Compare to Traditional Mixing Blade Technology?**
The following data table summarizes the operational and engineering differences between standard flat-blade IBC mixers and the EvenMix variable-pitch blade system.
| **Performance Metric** | **Traditional Flat Blade** | **EvenMix Variable-Pitch Blade** |
|---|---|---|
| Flow Pattern | Circumferential (horizontal only) | 3D convection (horizontal + vertical) |
| Corner Penetration | Minimal—dead zones present | Full—tracer-verified circulation |
| Vortex Formation | Deep surface vortex | Suppressed surface disturbance |
| Air Entrainment Risk | High | Low |
| Energy Consumption | Higher amperage draw | Reduced amperage draw |
| Mixing Time to Uniformity | Extended | Reduced |
| Stratification Prevention | Limited | Active vertical circulation |
| Portability | Typically heavy, fixed-mount | Lightweight, portable design |
| Shear on Sensitive Product | Variable, often excessive | Controlled convection flow |
| Engineering Basis | Conventional impeller design | NASA-collaboration principles |
## **Which Industries Benefit Most From EvenMix IBC Tote Mixing?**
EvenMix technology applies across any industrial sector that requires uniform liquid suspension or chemical homogeneity. Agriculture and fertilizer operations use EvenMix to maintain even nutrient distribution in suspended-solid blends. Chemical processing facilities rely on the system for precise concentration control during formulation.
Beverage and food manufacturers select EvenMix specifically for its low air-entrainment profile. The reduced vortex protects texture, flavor, and oxidation-sensitive ingredients. Water treatment operators apply the technology to keep dosing chemicals uniformly suspended for accurate downstream delivery.
Oil and gas, personal care, and adhesive manufacturers also deploy EvenMix systems where shear sensitivity and product consistency drive batch quality. The variable-pitch blade adapts across a wide viscosity range without redesigning the drive system.
## **How Does EvenMix Reduce Energy Consumption and Operational Cost?**
EvenMix blade efficiency [reduces motor amperage and energy consumption](https://evenmix.com/energy-efficient-industrial-mixers/) required to achieve uniform circulation. Traditional high-vortex mixers rely on brute-force turbulence, which consumes more electrical input per batch. Convection-driven flow accomplishes equivalent or superior mixing at lower power draw.
Lower amperage translates into reduced utility cost across continuous-operation facilities. Reduced mechanical stress also extends the lifespan of drive components and lowers maintenance intervals. The combined effect compounds across thousands of mix cycles per year.
EvenMix portability further reduces operational overhead. Lightweight construction allows a single operator to redeploy the unit between totes without lift equipment, eliminating handling delays.
## **What Engineering Principles Underpin the EvenMix Blade Design?**
EvenMix combines advanced fluid dynamics with NASA-inspired engineering principles to create superior vertical and horizontal mixing performance. The design objective was to maximize mixing efficiency while reducing power demand—two priorities that often conflict in conventional impeller engineering. The variable-pitch geometry resolves that tradeoff through controlled axial pumping.
The blade also incorporates folding mechanics that allow insertion through standard IBC tote openings. Once submerged, the blade expands to its full operational diameter, generating larger flow patterns than a fixed-diameter blade of the same opening size could produce. This geometric advantage compounds the convection effect.
Lightweight composite materials reduce equipment weight without sacrificing structural performance. The combination of advanced geometry and material engineering defines the EvenMix platform.
## **How Should Operators Select the Right IBC Tote Mixer?**
EvenMix recommends evaluating six technical specifications before [selecting any industrial mixer](https://evenmix.com/five-things-to-consider-when-choosing-a-drum-mixer/). Fluid viscosity, container geometry, target mixing time, shear sensitivity, available drive power, and portability requirements each affect blade selection. The most aggressive mixer is rarely the correct mixer.
The correct selection criterion is fluid circulation effectiveness, not motor horsepower. A high-RPM flat blade that only stirs horizontally underperforms a moderate-RPM variable-pitch blade that drives true convection. Engineering geometry determines the outcome.
[EvenMix configurations are available across multiple drive types and tote sizes](https://evenmix.com/ibc-tote-mixer-features/). Operators should match blade specifications to fluid characteristics rather than defaulting to the highest-power option.
### **Frequently Asked Questions**
#### **1. What makes the EvenMix blade different from traditional IBC tote mixers?**
The EvenMix variable-pitch blade generates simultaneous horizontal and vertical fluid flow, producing true three-dimensional convection rather than circumferential stirring. This patented engineering geometry eliminates stagnant dead zones that traditional flat-blade mixers leave unmixed in the corners of square IBC totes.
#### **2. Does the EvenMix mixer reduce vortex formation and air entrainment?**
The EvenMix blade design actively suppresses surface vortex depth while maintaining aggressive internal fluid circulation. This targeted vortex suppression prevents air entrainment, oxidation, and foaming, directly protecting product integrity in shear-sensitive and chemically reactive industrial fluids.
#### **3. Which industries commonly deploy EvenMix IBC tote mixing technology?**
EvenMix systems are utilized globally across chemical manufacturing, agriculture, water treatment, food and beverage processing, oil and gas, personal care, and adhesives production.

#### **4. Can the EvenMix mixer handle high-viscosity industrial fluids?**
The EvenMix variable-pitch blade is engineered and laboratory-tested to produce effective convection circulation in fluids with viscosities up to 50,000 centipoise. This specialized design allows a single lightweight system to thoroughly blend dense chemical formulations and thick suspensions, such as settled manufacturing sludge.
#### **5. Does EvenMix reduce energy consumption compared to traditional mixers?**
EvenMix convection-based mixing achieves total batch uniformity at lower motor amperage than high-turbulence, flat-blade systems. This engineering efficiency significantly reduces facility electrical costs and minimizes mechanical stress, thereby extending the operational lifespan of drive components in continuous-use plants.
#### **6. What engineering principles guided the EvenMix blade design?**
The EvenMix blade was developed utilizing advanced aerospace fluid dynamics research informed by technical collaboration with former NASA engineers. This patented innovation features a folding 316 stainless steel blade assembly that inserts cleanly through a standard 6-inch IBC tote opening and expands hydrodynamically to a full 16-inch mixing diameter once operational.

### [EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer Review: How Good Nature Organic Lawn Care Solved Its Mixing Problem](https://evenmix.com/our-old-mixer/)
**Published:** April 23, 2026
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
## **Key Takeaways**
- **Company:** Good Nature Organic Lawn Care (Cleveland, OH) — organic fertilizer and lawn care applicator
- **Problem:** Large traditional mixers were failing to suspend heavy organic materials like corn solids, causing product waste and inconsistent application
- **Solution:** EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer — a 15–20 lb, air-powered mixer with patented folding blades
- **Result:** Consistent suspension of heavy solids, faster mixing, lower capital cost, and a single mixer usable across multiple totes
- **Best for:** Organic lawn care, agricultural inputs, chemicals, water treatment, and any IBC tote or drum mixing application where settling is a problem
## **The Mixing Challenge in Organic Lawn Care**
In organic lawn care, mixing consistency isn’t a preference — it’s the product. Corn solids, organic suspensions, and biologically active liquids separate, settle, and harden when they aren’t kept in motion. An uneven mix leads to uneven application, and an uneven application results in an uneven lawn on a customer’s lawn.
Alec McClennan, founder of [Good Nature Organic Lawn Care](https://www.whygoodnature.com/), had reached a breaking point with conventional mixing equipment. The large, rigid-blade mixers his team relied on couldn’t keep up with the company’s heaviest organic inputs. Materials were settling. Solids were hardening at the bottom of the totes. Wasted product and underperforming equipment were adding up on the P&L every month.
He needed a mixer built for the materials he actually uses — not the ones a spec sheet assumes.
## **What Is the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer?**
The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer is an air-powered industrial mixer engineered for 275- and 330-gallon intermediate bulk containers (IBC totes). Unlike traditional tote mixers, it uses patented [**folding blade technology**](https://evenmix.com/how-do-mixing-blades-work/) that collapses to fit through a standard 6-inch tote opening and expands inside the tote during operation for full three-dimensional mixing coverage.
Core specifications:
- **Weight:** 15–20 lbs (vs. 30–50+ lbs for traditional mixers)
- **Power source:** Air-powered (pneumatic) — no electrical arc risk near flammable materials
- **Blade design:** Patented folding blades that expand during operation
- **Mixing style:** Low-shear, three-dimensional suspension
- **Portability:** Single mixer operable across multiple totes
- **Installation:** No permanent mounting required
## **“I Was Skeptical at First” — The First Impression**
When Alec first saw the EvenMix unit, he didn’t believe it would work.
It was small. It was lightweight. It ran on air instead of a heavy industrial motor. And the blades were thin and folded flat — nothing like the oversized, rigid impellers he associated with serious mixing.
His concern was the same one most operators raise: *Can a compact mixer actually handle heavy, solidified materials like corn solids that have been sitting in a tote?*
It’s a fair question — and it’s exactly the use case EvenMix is engineered for.
## **The Results: Did It Actually Work?**
Yes — and quickly.
Once the EvenMix unit was installed and running, materials that had been difficult or impossible to re-suspend in the old mixers were fully incorporated throughout the tote. Heavy organic solids that used to clump at the bottom stayed in motion. Batches that once required manual intervention ran hands-free.
The operational wins Alec reported:
1. **Faster mixing cycles** — full suspension in less time
2. **More consistent product quality** — no dead zones, no settled layers
3. **Less rework** — fewer batches requiring a second pass
4. **Lower product waste** — what used to harden at the bottom now stays usable
For organic applicators, those four outcomes directly translate into margin.
## **Why the Folding Blade Design Matters**
The folding blade is the feature that separates EvenMix from nearly every other IBC tote mixer on the market.
Traditional tote mixers typically require one of two compromises: either a large, permanently modified tote opening or a dedicated mixer bolted to each tote. Both approaches are expensive and inflexible.
[EvenMix’s folding blade design](https://evenmix.com/blade-technology/) solves this by:
- **Collapsing** to pass through the standard tote opening
- **Expanding** during operation to deliver full-coverage mixing
- **Enabling portability** so one mixer can service many totes
For a shop running multiple organic formulations, this means you don’t need a mixer per tote. You need one EvenMix and a workflow that moves it where it’s needed.
## **How Good Nature Integrated EvenMix Into Daily Operations**
Equipment is only as good as the workflow it plugs into. At Good Nature Organic Lawn Care, the setup is built for throughput:
- Totes are stored on the upper shelving
- Air lines run directly to each tote’s mixer
- All units can be activated simultaneously from a single switch
The practical effect: the team doesn’t “do mixing” as a separate task. Mixing happens in parallel with everything else on the floor. Labor hours that used to be burned on agitation are now available for application, delivery, or customer work.
## **EvenMix vs. Traditional IBC Tote Mixers**
| **Feature** | **EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer** | **Traditional Tote Mixer** |
|---|---|---|
| **Weight** | 15–20 lbs | 30–50+ lbs |
| **Power** | Air-powered | Typically electric |
| **Blade design** | Folding (patented) | Rigid |
| **Tote opening** | Fits standard 6″ | Often requires modification |
| **Portability** | Moves between totes | Usually fixed/mounted |
| **Upfront cost** | Lower | Higher |
| **Energy use** | Low | Higher |
| **Maintenance** | Minimal | Higher |
| **Best for** | Most organic, chemical, and agricultural applications | High-viscosity industrial batch processing |
## **The Cost Case: Where the ROI Comes From**
EvenMix reduces cost in four places at once:
1. **Lower purchase price** — meaningfully less than comparable traditional units
2. **Lower energy cost** — air-powered operation is efficient and doesn’t require dedicated electrical infrastructure
3. **Lower maintenance cost** — fewer moving parts and no complex motor assembly
4. **Lower product waste** — this is usually the biggest line item. Settled or clumped product is product you paid for and can’t sell
For most operators, waste reduction alone pays for the unit. The capital savings on the equipment itself is a bonus.
## **Who Should Consider an EvenMix System?**
EvenMix is a strong fit for operations that share any of the following conditions:
- Mixing organic inputs, biologically active formulations, or suspensions that settle
- Running IBC tote or drum workflows with multiple formulations
- Needing low-shear mixing for sensitive chemistry
- Working in environments where electrical motors pose a safety or regulatory risk
- Trying to reduce capital cost and footprint on the shop floor
Typical industries include **organic lawn care, agriculture, specialty chemicals, water treatment, cosmetics, and food and beverage**.
## **Frequently Asked Questions**
### **Can EvenMix handle heavy, settled materials like corn solids?**
Yes. Good Nature Organic Lawn Care specifically tested EvenMix on corn solids — one of the hardest-to-suspend organic inputs — and the unit delivered full, consistent suspension. The folding blades reach vertically and horizontally inside the tote, allowing a compact, lightweight mixer to handle material weights that would require a much larger unit.
### **How does a folding blade mixer fit through a standard IBC tote opening?**
The blades are engineered to collapse flat along the shaft during insertion, then swing open under rotational force once the mixer is running. This eliminates the need to modify the tote or invest in oversized openings, which are among the biggest hidden costs of traditional tote mixing.
### **Is an air-powered mixer as effective as an electric one?**
For most tote and drum applications, yes — and often more practical. [Air-powered mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer/) are safer around flammable or volatile materials, require no electrical installation, run cooler, and have fewer components that can fail. For heavy continuous industrial batch processing at very large scales, a dedicated electric system may still be appropriate, but for IBC tote workflows, air-powered is typically the better fit.
### **How much does an EvenMix IBC Tote Mixer cost?**
EvenMix systems are priced below comparable traditional mixers, and pricing varies by configuration (tote size, mount style, accessories). The company quotes directly based on your application — the first step is a conversation with a mixing specialist to scope the right unit.
### **Can one EvenMix unit service multiple totes?**
Yes. Because the unit is lightweight and the blades fold, a single mixer can be moved between totes as needed. Many shops run multiple units in parallel and activate them from a central air supply, which is exactly the setup Good Nature uses.
## **Bigger Isn’t Better. Smarter Is.**
The assumption that effective mixing requires heavy, complex, permanently installed equipment is outdated. Good Nature Organic Lawn Care’s experience makes that clear: a 15-pound, air-powered mixer with folding blades outperformed the traditional systems it replaced — in performance, cost, and workflow fit.
Alec McClennan’s recommendation came down to three words: **power, simplicity, reliability.**
If your current mixer is costing you time, product, or consistency, there’s a better way to run the job.

### [Why Most IBC Tote Mixers Require a Forklift — and Why EvenMix Doesn’t](https://evenmix.com/ibc-tote-mixer-one-person-installation/)
**Published:** February 18, 2026
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Heavy shouldn’t mean necessary.
In facilities across agriculture, chemical processing, coatings, water treatment, polymers, and specialty manufacturing, installing an IBC tote mixer often requires forklifts, multiple operators, and unnecessary downtime.
That’s become the norm.
But it’s not efficient — and it’s not engineered for modern production demands.
EvenMix® redefined what an [IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer/) should be: lightweight, powerful, and designed for true one-person installation without sacrificing mixing performance.
## **Key Elements of a Smarter IBC Tote Mixer**
- **One-Person Installation –** No forklift or second operator required
- **15–20 lb Lightweight Design –** Easy handling without compromising durability
- **Patented Variable Pitch Folding Blades –** Fits through standard 6-inch tote openings
- **True 3D Mixing Action –** Vertical and horizontal flow for superior homogeneity
- **Reduced Energy Consumption –** Efficient mixing without excessive amperage draw
- **Improved Workplace Safety –** Eliminates unnecessary lifting equipment during installation
- **Faster Tote Changeovers –** Designed for high-throughput operations
## **What Makes an IBC Tote Mixer Easy to Install?**
Ease of installation comes down to three engineering factors:
- **Weight
- **Blade profile
- **Mounting simplicity
Many traditional IBC tote mixers weigh 30–50+ pounds and require either a forklift or two operators to position safely. Fixed-blade assemblies make insertion awkward and slow.
An easy-to-install IBC tote mixer should:
- Be light enough for one operator
- Fit through a standard tote opening
- Require no hoists or lift equipment
- Install in minutes without special tools
EvenMix systems are engineered specifically around these principles. The result is a mixer that can be installed quickly, safely, and repeatedly without disrupting workflow.
Installation should be routine — not an event.
## **How Much Does an IBC Tote Mixer Weigh?**
Weight varies widely across the market.
Traditional industrial tote mixers often weigh between **30 and 50+ pounds,** which can require mechanical assistance for safe handling.
EvenMix IBC Tote Mixers weigh approximately **15–20 pounds,** allowing:
- True single-operator handling
- Faster tote-to-tote transfers
- Reduced lifting strain
- Lower risk of workplace injury
Reducing weight isn’t about reducing durability. It’s about intelligent design that improves ergonomics while maintaining industrial performance.
## **Can a Tote Mixer Fit Through a 6-Inch Opening?**
Most standard IBC totes have a **6-inch top opening.** Many fixed-blade mixers cannot pass through that opening without disassembly.
EvenMix solves this with its [**patented variable pitch folding blade system**](https://evenmix.com/blade-technology/)**.**
Here’s how it works:
- When lifted, the blades collapse into a narrow insertion profile.
- The mixer passes directly through a standard 6-inch port.
- Once powered on, the blades expand automatically.
- Variable pitch geometry activates multidirectional flow.
No blade removal.
No special adapters.
No disassembly.
This design not only simplifies installation — it enables superior mixing once deployed.
## **What Are the Benefits of a Lightweight Industrial Mixer?**
A lightweight industrial mixer delivers advantages beyond convenience.
### **1. Improved Safety**
Eliminates unnecessary forklift use during installation and reduces strain injuries.
### **2. Faster Production Cycles**

Move the mixer between containers without coordinating heavy equipment.
### **4. Reduced Downtime**
Installation becomes a simple, repeatable task.
### **5. Lower Total Operating Cost**
Efficient blade geometry reduces excessive amperage draw while maintaining performance.
Lightweight design directly impacts labor efficiency, safety metrics, and operational speed.
## **Engineered for True 3D Mixing Performance**
Ease of installation means nothing without performance.
The EvenMix patented variable pitch folding blades create:
- Vertical circulation
- Horizontal flow
- Reduced dead zones
- Improved suspension of solids
- Faster homogenization
Unlike traditional vertical-only propeller designs, EvenMix generates multidirectional mixing that distributes material evenly throughout the tote.
The same feature that allows the mixer to fit through a 6-inch opening is the feature that enhances mixing quality.
That’s not compromise. That’s engineering.
## **Mixing Should Move Your Operation Forward**
When evaluating an IBC Tote Mixer, ask:
- Does it require a forklift?
- Can one operator install it safely?
- Does it eliminate dead zones?
- Does it reduce downtime between batches?
- Does it improve overall workflow efficiency?
If the answer isn’t yes across the board, there’s room for improvement.

### [Modular Mixing Systems: Why Flexible Industrial Mixers Deliver Better ROI](https://evenmix.com/modular-mixing-systems/)
**Published:** January 22, 2026
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
In industrial mixing, flexibility is often the difference between a system that works and one that truly works for you. A **modular mixing system** is an industrial mixer built from interchangeable components, drive, shaft, and mount, that can be configured for different containers, viscosities, and processes without replacing the entire unit.
From standard IBC totes to custom-fabricated stainless steel mixing tanks, manufacturers rarely operate with a single container type or a single product viscosity for long. That’s where [modular industrial mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer/) deliver real, measurable value.
At EvenMix, modularity isn’t an add-on or an afterthought. It’s the foundation of how our mixing systems are designed.
## **At a Glance: EvenMix Modular Mixing Systems**
| **Specification** | **Details** |
|---|---|
| Viscosity Range | 0–20,000+ centipoise |
| Power Draw | ~4 amps (standard-duty digital drive) |
| Mixing Time Reduction | Up to 50% faster |
| Operation | Single-person portable design |
| Container Compatibility | 55-gallon drums, IBC totes, custom vessels |
| Blade Technology | Folding blade technology with 3D mixing flow |
## **What Makes a Mixing System “Modular”?**
Modular mixing systems are built from interchangeable components that can be configured, reconfigured, and scaled to match your process, not the other way around.
An EvenMix system consists of three core elements:
**The Drive**
This is the power center of the mixer, combining the motor and gearbox into a compact, energy-efficient industrial mixer unit. It determines speed, torque, and overall energy consumption.
**The Shaft and Blade Sets**
Shafts can be customized in length and fitted with multiple blade sets using [**folding blade technology**](https://evenmix.com/blade-technology/). These blades expand inside the container to create **3D mixing flow**, ensuring complete coverage regardless of container depth or product behavior.
**The Mount**
The mounting solution connects the mixer to your container—whether that’s a standard 55-gallon drum, an **IBC tote mixer** configuration, or a custom-built tank.
Each component works independently, but together they create a system that adapts to your operation instead of locking you into a single setup.
## **Custom Mixing Solutions for Standard and Fabricated Containers**
Many mixing systems are designed strictly around off-the-shelf containers. Others specialize only in engineered-to-order vessels. EvenMix delivers **custom mixing solutions** for both.
**Standard Containers**
IBC totes, 55-gallon drums, and other mass-produced containers are fully supported with standard mounts and configurations. If you need an **IBC tote mixer** that works out of the box, EvenMix has you covered.
**Stainless Steel Mixing Tanks and Custom Vessels**
Customers frequently approach EvenMix for solutions for stainless steel mixing tanks, open-top vessels, or in-house-fabricated containers. Because the system is modular, mounts, shaft lengths, and blade configurations can be tailored without redesigning the entire mixer.
The same drive unit can move from a drum to a tote, or into a large, open-top custom tank without requiring new equipment.
## **Variable Viscosity Mixing: One System, Wide Range**
Industrial operations rarely mix just one type of product. A single facility may handle low-viscosity liquids one day and thick, settled materials the next. **Variable viscosity mixing** capability eliminates the need for multiple dedicated mixers.
EvenMix modular mixing systems are engineered to handle viscosities ranging from near-zero up to 20,000+ centipoise, thanks to:
- Adjustable shaft lengths for any container depth
- Multiple blade sets per shaft for thorough coverage
- Proven **folding blade technology** that expands inside the container for full **3D mixing flow**
This versatility allows operators to use a single mixing platform across multiple products and processes—from water-thin solutions to heavy pastes and slurries.
## **Cutting Mixing Time by 50% or More**
Time is one of the most expensive variables in any production environment. With traditional industrial mixers, inefficient flow patterns and dead zones can extend mixing cycles far longer than necessary.
Because EvenMix delivers true **3D mixing flow**, many users report:
- **Up to 50% reduction in mixing time**
- More consistent product homogeneity
- Less rework caused by incomplete blending
- Faster batch turnaround
Faster mixing doesn’t just improve throughput; it also reduces energy use and labor costs.
## **Built for Single-Person Operation**
Older industrial mixers often require forklifts, hoists, or multiple operators just to move and install them. That adds risk, delays, and unnecessary labor expense.
EvenMix modular mixing systems are designed to be:
- Lightweight and portable
- Easy for one person to move from tote to tote
- Quick to install without heavy equipment
This reduces reliance on forklifts, lowers injury risk, and keeps production moving without coordination delays. One operator can manage multiple containers in the time it previously took a team to set up a single mixer.
## **Energy-Efficient Industrial Mixers That Cut Operating Costs**
Power consumption is a hidden cost in industrial mixing that compounds over time. EvenMix addresses this at the drive level with **energy-efficient industrial mixers** designed for minimal power draw.
The [standard-duty digital drive](https://evenmix.com/digital-drive-modes/) draws approximately 4 amps, about the same as a typical home ceiling fan. That level of efficiency means:
- Lower monthly electrical costs
- Reduced strain on facility power infrastructure
- Compatibility with locations that have limited available power
- Smaller carbon footprint per batch
When combined with reduced mixing time, the energy savings compound quickly. Facilities report significant reductions in per-batch energy consumption compared to traditional high-amperage mixers.
## **Why Modular Mixing Systems Make Financial Sense**
When you evaluate the full picture, modular mixing systems deliver value across multiple fronts:
| **Benefit** | **Impact** |
|---|---|
| Time Savings | Up to 50% faster mixing cycles |
| Labor Savings | Single-person operation eliminates team coordination |
| Energy Savings | ~4 amp draw reduces electrical costs |
| Equipment Savings | One system works across multiple container types |
| Future-Proofing | Adapts as processes, products, and vessels change |
Instead of purchasing multiple dedicated industrial mixers or replacing equipment when needs evolve, operators can adapt the same EvenMix system to new requirements with a simple component swap.
## **A Smarter Approach to Industrial Mixing**
Modularity isn’t just about convenience. It’s about building a mixing solution that grows with your operation, reduces overhead, and delivers consistent results across a wide range of applications.
That’s why EvenMix modular mixing systems are designed the way they are—and why, for many facilities, investing in flexible industrial mixers isn’t just an upgrade. It’s a smarter long-term strategy.
## **Frequently Asked Questions**
**What is a modular mixing system?**

This design allows operators to configure the mixer for different containers, viscosities, and processes without purchasing entirely new equipment.
**Can modular mixers work with custom tanks?**
Yes. EvenMix modular mixing systems work with both standard containers (IBC totes, 55-gallon drums) and custom-fabricated vessels, including stainless steel mixing tanks and open-top containers. Shaft lengths, blade configurations, and mounts can all be tailored to fit non-standard vessels.
**What viscosity range do EvenMix systems handle?**
EvenMix systems handle variable-viscosity mixing from near-zero (water-like) to 20,000+ centipoise (thick pastes and slurries). This range covers most industrial mixing applications with a single system.
**How much energy does an EvenMix industrial mixer use?**
The standard-duty digital drive draws approximately 4 amps—comparable to a home ceiling fan. This makes EvenMix one of the most energy-efficient industrial mixers available, significantly reducing operating costs compared to traditional high-amperage mixing equipment.
**What is folding blade technology?**
Folding blade technology refers to mixer blades that collapse for insertion into containers, then expand once submerged to create full 3D mixing flow. This design allows the mixer to fit through standard container openings while still providing complete coverage throughout the entire vessel.
**How much faster is mixing with an EvenMix system?**
Many users report up to 50% reduction in mixing time compared to traditional mixers. The improvement comes from EvenMix’s 3D mixing flow, which eliminates dead zones and creates more efficient circulation patterns throughout the container.

### [Mixing CBD into Products with IBC / Tote Mixers](https://evenmix.com/using-tote-mixer-for-mixing-cbd/)
**Published:** April 29, 2020
**Author:** Phil Rankin
**Content:**
## Using the EvenMix® Tote / IBC Mixer for CBD
CBD (Cannabidiol) is one of the 104 cannabinoids from a marijuana or cannabis plant. While it is much less famous than its fellow cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the psychoactive cannabidiol that produces the feeling of getting “high”; mixing CBD is gaining popularity with several products to extract its benefits per the [NCBI](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK425762/), National Center for Biotechnical Information. The history of the cannabis plant is long and medical research into the cannabinoids is still emerging. Currently, one drug, [Epidiolex](https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/expert-answers/is-cbd-safe-and-effective/faq-20446700), is approved by the FDA to treat two types of Epilepsy. Currently mixing CBD with carriers such as lotions, hand sanitizer, and oils are being used to deliver the [benefits](https://time.com/5516745/cbd-oil-legal-healthy/).
To achieve the proper ratio of CBD to the carrier you need powerful technology that can achieve a cohesive mix. Failure to employ the correct mixing can result in materials that are improperly combined, [full of air](https://www.aiche.org/sites/default/files/cep/20150835.pdf), and inconsistent.
We all know how important it is to achieve the perfect mix and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you use the revolutionary [EvenMix® Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer/) to mix your CBD products.
### Mixing CBD into Commercial Products
While the approval of CBD varies by state and the [study of the benefits is ongoing](https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/cannabidiol-cbd-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont-2018082414476), we can help you with the mixing of CBD oil into various commercial products. CBD is often applied topically through lotions, body butter, hand sanitizer, and oils that are all applied to the skin and absorbed into the body. It can also be ingested and is typically combined with other oils or products since CBD alone does not have a pleasing taste.
 Mixing CBD into Lotions
Anyone who’s ever tried to mix CBD into oil or any other high viscosity material knows that it’s a difficult process due to the thickness and the resistance of oil to combine with other products. It’s vital that you achieve the perfect blend, such as [mixing hand sanitizer](https://evenmix.com/using-tote-mixer-for-mixing-hand-sanitizer/); you want to achieve the correct proportions of the ingredients and have them consistently mixed throughout the container. We have several customers that are actively using the EvenMix® Tote Mixer with a [second set of blades](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-folding-blades-pt100000ss/) to ensure that the mixing process is quick and complete. We recommend a second set of blades, especially when mixing oils with another liquid. One set of blades can be easily positioned near the bottom of the container while the second set is positioned near the top of the liquid. This distributes the mixing action throughout the container.
The last thing you want to do is waste a lot of time, money, and resources on the ingredients only to not be able to mix it correctly and have the product be unusable. This is why when you’re mixing high viscosity ingredients you need the proper mixing technology to get the job done right.
Call Phil at 440-236-6677 x 1. He has experience mixing CBD with various products and hand sanitizers.
## How the EvenMix® Tote Mixer Works
[EvenMix®’s patented IBC tote mixer technology](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-ibc-tote-mixing-blade-a-revolutionary-new-product/) has the ability to perfectly mix even the heaviest of materials. This mixing blade is revolutionary in design, featuring heavy-duty power in a low weight design. One of the main features that help this technology stand apart from the competition is the fact that it’s low-weight enough for one person to install and use—you no longer need two or more people or worse yet a forklift to install your mixing blade.
Additionally, since this mixing blade is designed specifically for IBC tote mixers, you can keep your hand sanitizer right in your tote, eliminating the need to move them to different vessels, saving you time, money, and frustration. It mixes with a downward thrust to make sure that the mixing gets done even in the bottom corners of the IBC tote.
## Why Use the EvenMix® Tote Mixer for CBD Mixing
There are so many benefits to using the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer to mix CBD with other products, beginning with the fact that it’s simple to achieve the right mix of ingredients. It’s important to understand that our technology actually mixes the entire contents of the IBC tote at once (even in the corners) it does not simply sheer it. We mix and blend.
Additionally, you’ll benefit from the fact that our mixer does not add any air into the mix during the process. Other mixing blades, on the other hand, are known for causing a problem with air addition which can affect the quality of the mix.
 EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer with Air Motor

### [Hand Sanitizer Stand Built to Last](https://evenmix.com/hand-sanitizer-stand-built-to-last/)
**Published:** August 5, 2020
**Author:** Phil Rankin
**Content:**
Do you need a hand sanitizer stand? As businesses and offices slowly begin to reopen in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is crucial to have ample hand sanitizer stations available to kill germs and prevent the spread of Coronavirus. But individual hand sanitizer bottles run out quickly, and the pump feature can actually be a source of germs. So how can you keep staff and visitors safe in your office, school, church, or store?
With a durable, high-quality hand sanitizer stand from EvenMix® that is built to last. Read on to learn more about the benefits of the EvenMix® hand sanitizer stand and best practices for keeping staff and visitors safe and healthy.
## **Portable Hand Sanitizer Stand For Office, School, Church, or Store**
### Hand Sanitizer Best Practices
## ****
According to the American Center for Disease Control (CDC), [hand sanitizer](https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/hand-sanitizer-use.html) is an important tool in killing germs and preventing the spread of illnesses like COVID-19. Here’s everything you need to know about when to use hand sanitizer and which kind to use.
### What Kind of Hand Sanitizer Should You Use?
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the US has experienced something entirely new–a hand sanitizer shortage. As a result, companies that do not typically make hand sanitizer have been manufacturing and selling the product. But according to the CDC, there are only some hand sanitizers that are effective at killing germs! When purchasing hand sanitizer, look out for these requirements:
- **General Use: The CDC recommends only using hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol for general, everyday use. Gel or foam versions are both acceptable.**
- Healthcare Settings: When it comes to healthcare settings, the CDC recommends only using hand sanitizers that contain greater than 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol.
### When Should You Use Hand Sanitizer?
According to the CDC, everyone should either wash their hands or use hand sanitizer “after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing” in order to prevent spreading germs. You should also use it after touching high-traffic surfaces, including doorknobs, communal items like pens, and countertops.
### Where To Place Hand Sanitizer Stands
The best way to remind staff and visitors to use hand sanitizer is by making it readily available, especially in high-traffic areas. These include:
- **Entrances and exits: Doorknobs are high-contact areas that have the potential to spread illness throughout an entire building. Make sure to disinfect doorknobs and light switches regularly, and place hand sanitizer nearby.**
- **Places where food is consumed**: If you eat with germ-covered hands, the germs have easy access to infiltrate your body. By placing a hand sanitizer stand in break rooms, kitchens, or communal eating areas, you can keep people safe.
- **Desks and workstations: If people eat, drink, cough, or sneeze at their workstation, germs can find their way onto desks, phones, keyboards, and computer mice. Placing a hand sanitizer stand near workstations can help prevent the spread of COVID-19.**
- High traffic areas: Hand sanitizer stations should be readily available in any high-traffic area in your office, school, church, or store. Not only does this reduce the spread of germs, but it gives people confidence that your organization takes health and safety seriously.
## **Introducing the EvenMix® Hand Sanitizer Stand**
### Keeping the US Safe
## ****
EvenMix® has been a leader and innovator in the manufacturing industry for years. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they pivoted their processes to help produce much-needed manufacturing tools, including mixers made specially for [mixing hand sanitizer](https://evenmix.com/using-tote-mixer-for-mixing-hand-sanitizer/) production.
But now that the hand sanitizer shortage is largely over in the US, EvenMix® has once again decided to pivot their production to help keep people healthy and safe during the pandemic, utilizing their patented mixing blade technology. They are now proud to introduce their revolutionary EvenMix® hand sanitizer stand.

## **From Creative Thinking to Real Engineering Breakthroughs**
Just as our team generates imaginative ideas for fun, we apply that same enthusiasm and curiosity to practical challenges in the field. Industrial mixing has long been defined by compromises—heavy equipment, difficult handling, inconsistent results, and assumptions that totes simply cannot be mixed thoroughly.
At EvenMix®, we refuse to accept those limitations.
We ask questions others overlook:
- *Why should mixing inside an IBC tote be difficult?
- *Why should operators struggle with equipment that’s too heavy?
- *Why settle for mixers that only stir the bottom and ignore the rest of the container?
- *Why not expect more from the tools our industry relies on?
Those questions led to a fresh, imaginative rethinking of the entire mixing process.
And that rethinking became patented EvenMix® technology.
## **Inventiveness That Solves Industrial Problems**
Our team’s creativity and our real-world innovation show up in performance.
### Patented Folding Blade Technology
A simple yet transformative idea led to a blade that collapses to pass through small tote or drum openings, then expands to create a complete three-dimensional mixing pattern. This design eliminates dead zones and ensures consistent material movement throughout the entire container.
Explore the engineering behind our folding blade here:

### [Revolutionary Blade Technology That Delivers Perfect Mixing](https://evenmix.com/blade-technology/)
**Published:** June 24, 2025
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Industrial mixing has long been plagued by inconsistent results, vortex formation, and air incorporation that compromises product quality. At EvenMix®, we’ve engineered a solution that fundamentally reimagines how mixing should work, delivering true circulation and perfectly even results every time.
## **NASA-Inspired Innovation**
Our revolutionary blade design didn’t happen by accident. It was developed in collaboration with Dan Remo, a former [NASA](https://www.nasa.gov/) launch engineer who brought aerospace-level precision and innovation to industrial mixing challenges. This [partnership between EvenMix® and NASA](https://evenmix.com/industrial-liquid-mixers-battery-powered-ibc-solutions/) expertise has resulted in a truly one-of-a-kind mixing solution that stands apart from conventional mixing technologies.
## **Engineering Excellence in Every Detail**
The [EvenMix® blade](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-folding-blades-pt100000ss/) represents a masterclass in precision engineering. Constructed from 316 stainless steel—the gold standard for corrosion resistance and durability—each blade measures just 0.036 inches thick. Despite this remarkably thin profile, the blades are engineered to withstand tremendous forces through intelligent design rather than brute thickness.
Strategic bends at the top and bottom of each blade, combined with carefully positioned ribs throughout the structure, create a framework capable of handling up to 800 inch-pounds of force. This engineering approach maximizes strength while maintaining the flexibility needed for optimal performance.
## **Hydrodynamic Innovation**
What truly sets EvenMix® apart is our use of hydrodynamic forces rather than traditional centrifugal action. The blades are inserted flat into IBC containers and begin their work through a carefully orchestrated expansion process. As they spin counterclockwise, the blades open from their initial 90-degree angle to 30 degrees—a dramatic 60-degree transformation that harnesses the natural flow characteristics of the material being mixed.
This hydrodynamic approach eliminates the common problems associated with conventional mixing methods. No [vortex formation](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/physics-and-astronomy/vortex) can create uneven mixing patterns, and no air incorporation can compromise product quality or create unwanted foam.
## **Perfect Balance, Perfect Results**
The result of this innovative design is balanced horizontal and vertical flow that creates true circulation throughout the entire container. This comprehensive mixing action ensures that every portion of your material receives consistent treatment, eliminating dead zones and hot spots that can plague traditional mixing methods.
Whether you’re working with viscous materials, temperature-sensitive compounds, or products that require gentle handling, the EvenMix® system delivers the consistency and reliability that modern industrial applications demand.
## **The EvenMix® Difference**
In an industry where “good enough” mixing has been the standard for too long, EvenMix® represents a paradigm shift toward precision and perfection. Our blade technology doesn’t just mix materials, it creates the conditions for optimal product quality, reduced processing time, and consistent results that you can rely on.

### [EvenMix Attends the ATSSA Expo Convention](https://evenmix.com/atssa-expo/)
**Published:** August 25, 2025
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
We’re here at the [ATSSA Expo in Orlando, Florida](https://www.atssa.com/event/2025-convention-traffic-expo/), surrounded by professionals who live and breathe pavement, paint, and performance. It’s a lively crowd—line striping folks who know that getting the mix right can be the difference between a flawless job and a headache.
We brought our EvenMix lineup to show off how our lightweight electric, air, and [battery-powered mixers](https://evenmix.com/battery-powered-mixer/) keep paint consistent from the first line to the last. With these, crews can skip the usual hassles—clogs, uneven coats, unnecessary downtime. That means faster, smoother work, whether they’re striping roads, airports, or parking lots.
### Key Takeaways
- Pro line stripers rely on consistent paint mixing to dodge clogs and patchy application
- EvenMix offers lightweight mixers—electric, air, or battery powered—so you’ve got options for any job site
- Good mixing tech means less downtime and fewer equipment headaches, so crews get more done
## Overview of the ATSSA Show
### Location and Purpose
We’re set up at the ATSSA show in Orlando. It’s the annual spot for folks from all over to dig into three big topics:
- Pavement
- Paint
- Performance
The conference pulls in industry experts to swap ideas on line striping and the gear that goes with it. We’re all about sharing what we’ve learned about materials and techniques—anything that gives crews an edge.
### Key Participants
We get to chat with pros like Adam from [Quality Striping](https://www.qualitystriping.com/), a guy who really knows his striping. He’s the kind of experienced user we love running into at these events.
Adam’s been running our mixers for a couple years. He deals with all sorts of paint, including latex, and his company takes on a variety of striping projects that demand reliable mixing.
There’s also Adam Ponzer of Quality Striping. People like him are the backbone of this industry—using our equipment for:
- Roadway striping
- Airport line marking
- Parking lot striping
Connecting with crews who need gear that just works—faster, cleaner, smarter—gives us a real sense of what the industry’s up against and how we can actually help.
## The Importance of Proper Paint Mixing
### Impact on Line Striping Quality
Keeping paint mixed right really does make or break a striping job. When you’re spraying, what comes out ought to be exactly what you put in.
Consistent mixing keeps those classic problems at bay. Clogs don’t rear their ugly heads as often, and uneven coats are way less common because the paint stays the same from start to finish.
Without good mixing, you get lines that look different as you go—nobody wants that. The paint quality shifts as you work through the bucket, and suddenly, your job looks uneven.
### Challenges of Traditional Mixing Methods
Old-school mixing methods? They can be a real pain. A lot of them use displacement pumps to shuffle paint from one container to another, just to get things mixed. It eats up time and piles on extra steps.
And air getting mixed in? That’s another headache. Once air bubbles in, the paint doesn’t flow the same, and your coverage gets spotty.
Downtime creeps in fast with these setups. Crews have to pause to sort out clogs or baby the equipment, which drags the whole project down and eats into the budget.
Plus, traditional mixers often just aren’t up for big containers. If you’re working with IBC totes or larger paint bins, the blades are usually too small or just awkwardly shaped.
## Even Mix Technology Explained
### Mixing Mechanism
We use displacement pumps to move paint between totes and keep things mixed—without stirring in air.
Our system circulates the paint through these pumps, so you get the same mix through the entire batch. No surprises, no weird spots.
### Blade Design for IBC Totes
We actually designed bigger blades to fit right into IBC totes. They’re built with those standard industrial containers in mind.
The larger blades make sure every corner gets mixed. No dead zones, no half-mixed mess at the bottom.
### Electric, Air, and Battery Powered Options
We’ve got three power options:
- Electric powered – Just plug it in
- Air powered – Pneumatic for those who want it
- Battery powered – Cordless and portable
All three are lightweight and easy to handle. They keep your paint consistent, no matter where you’re working.
You can pick whatever fits your site best—roadways, airports, parking lots—each power type gives you the same mixing results.
## Professional User Experiences
### Adam Ponzer and Quality Striping
We’ve been working with Adam from Quality Striping in Iowa for a while now. His crew’s mixed everything from latex to specialty paints with our gear.
Adam calls our system “a game changer” for his business. The big thing? Our displacement pumps move paint between totes for mixing, but don’t whip in air.
What works for Quality Striping:
- Bigger blades that fit IBC totes
- Displacement pump mixing
- Reliable performance with all sorts of paint
Adam’s already eyeing another mixer for his team. Guess we’re doing something right.
### Benefits Observed in Real-world Applications
Our mixers—electric, air, or battery powered—keep paint consistent through the whole job. That’s huge for crews striping roads, airports, or parking lots.
Problems we help solve:
- Clogged equipment
- Patchy coats on pavement
- Downtime that drags out projects
What crews notice:
- Faster project wrap-ups
- Cleaner stripes
- Less hassle overall
Basically, what goes down matches what’s in the can. That reliability means teams can focus on the actual job, not babysitting the equipment.
## Advantages of Even Mix for Crews
### Consistency from First Line to Last
Our mixers keep things even from start to finish. The last line you lay looks just like the first.
Doesn’t matter if it’s a runway, a road, or a parking lot—what you spray should always match what’s in the pail.
### Elimination of Clogs and Downtime
Our system cuts out those annoying clogs that grind work to a halt. The displacement pumps move paint tote to tote without adding air.
What that means:
- No air bubbles messing things up
- Way fewer equipment jams
- Less time puttering with fixes
The bigger blades fit IBC totes perfectly, so you don’t get those weird mixing issues that stall a job site.
### Efficiency and Productivity Improvements
Crews work faster when the paint’s mixed right. Our lightweight mixers—electric, air, or battery—keep things moving.
Uneven coats? Pretty much gone. That means less going back and more jobs finished on time.
Productivity perks:
- Quicker applications
- Cleaner lines
- Crews working smarter, not harder
With fewer mixing headaches, teams can actually focus on striping. That’s how you get better results and finish jobs without dragging your feet.

### [Precision Farming Practices](https://evenmix.com/precision-farming-practices/)
**Published:** March 19, 2021
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Precision Farming, also often referred to as “Precision Agriculture” and “Smart Farming,” are mainly one in the same thing designed with the objective of improving agricultural efficiency through the use of modern technology. Put simply; the goal is to produce better crops and ideally more crops using fewer resources. It’s the cutting edge of [farm management](https://evenmix.com/agriculture/). By producing more with fewer resources using various strategic delivery methods, precision farming aims to be more sustainable than old farming methods, which is why an increasing number of progressive farms is adopting it as we speak.
## The Many Benefits of Precision Farming
Precision Farming is designed to help benefit and improve just about every aspect of traditional farming. It starts by benefiting the farmer who’s using the technology to operate an efficient farm and the consumer who is buying the crops by helping the latter save money. Furthermore, precision farming lowers the environmental impact of traditional farming. Here are a few benefits of precision farming:
### **Meeting Crops’ Needs**
Every farmer already knows that crops have varying needs. The use of smart technology systems helps to match the level of needs of those crops by adapting and analyzing them to meet their needs as close a possible with more precision. The result is higher quality crops. Smart farming can meet a lot more of the needs of various crops with the least amount of fertilizer, water, pesticides, etc.
**Environmental Impact**
The right amount of chemicals and resources, when used, will benefit the soil and reduce the instance of runoff into rivers and streams. The result is that precision farming reduces the reliance on fossil fuels and the environmental impact of farming.
### **Reduces Operating Costs**
Precision Farming systems help lower the operational costs for farmers and do not require that they work long hours like they used to. By using smart technology, farmers work fewer hours, use a lot fewer resources, cost less money, and produce more, making it (smart farming) one of the highest returns on investment in the farming industry.
## How Does Precision Farming Work in a Nutshell?
Precision Farming is made possible by the use of various pieces of modern technology. Mainly, onboard computers and various software applications work in tandem, allowing users to monitor fields, collect and monitor associated data. The GPS devices or geographic information systems mounted on various machinery like tractors allow farmers to easily plant crops with more precision using optimized, automated patterns that save time, seeds, and fuel.
Another key component of precision farming is the ability to analyze and monitor data which gives farmers a complete overview of the data on soil quality, the farm, environmental factors, and crops, all of which aids in the decision marking process. It also makes responding to challenges easier. Sensors used on these machines help determine biomass, temperature, soil moisture, and the development of potential diseases to tackle significant potential losses in time.
The latest farming technology allows farmers to document and analyze all of the required data in mere seconds and suggests future cycles. AI or Artificial Intelligence systems can also be trained to help farmers make smarter, more efficient decisions such as variable rate applications, create yield maps, improve the yield and lower environmental impact.
## The Use of Farm Bots for Precision
Farm bots are a promising precision farming technology, which is still in its relative infancy. However, the robots available today can deliver fertilizer precisely in between rows of corn and lettuce while pulling weeds. A category of nimble robots is being developed to do the work that has traditionally always been done by hand or mega-ton machinery. The new category of farming bots, as they are called, will be more nimble, allowing them to do the work more efficiently. Farm bots can collect a soil sample to help identify soil type across the entire field.
A very good instance of this is that checking for pests in a field using the traditional farming method can be quite sticky since bug traps have to be monitored manually, reset, and cleaned. Robots like the one being developed by Sepnsa Technologies are geared towards streamlining the otherwise cumbersome process of checking for pests with remote sensing. The Z-Trap, as it’s called and an online tool located at MyTraps.com, automate the pest tracking process, allowing farmers to do it in real-time on their cellphones. The approach reduces the number of pesticides otherwise sprayed, consequently saving on labor and money.
## Dusters and Drones Precision
Even though drones aren’t currently allowed for use in agriculture, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is actively considering regulation, which will eventually allow for the use of drones on farms. Once the regulation is approved, which we anticipate will be soon, and as we advance, it will be a huge game-changer in the agriculture industry.
Today crop dusters are too expensive for many small farms, and there are obvious risks, especially when it comes to flying 10 feet above the ground at speeds of 150 miles per hour. On the other hand, drones cost a fraction of a crop duster, and there is no risk to the pilot. Also, you don’t need to be a trained pilot to operate a drone. Most people can start operating a drone with a few hours of training. Also, if a drone crashes over an open field, it does not do much damage as opposed to a falling crop-duster.
Now, apart from crop dusting, drones will have the capability to take continuous shots of crops on the farm so that farmers can monitor their health without having to send scouts to check. The approach will allow for a more controlled application of fungicides and insecticides. As we speak, Japan has been using drones to spray their land for rice fields for years. Back in 2010, drones had sprayed 30% percent of rice fields in Japan with pesticides. Using drones meant that the number of farms sprayed via helicopters dropped from 1328 in 1995 to just 57 in 2011. However, unmanned helicopter or drone spray sharply rose to 1000 hectares in 2011, according to an article[ published in Wired](https://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2013/02/drone-farm/). The consensus is that American farming will soon adopt drones once their use is approved for use by the FAA.
## Consistent Mixing Machines Precision
Farming involves lots of mixing. In fact, farmers are involved a lot more in mixing various chemicals than they are with pulling out weeds. Experienced farmers know that when chemicals or solutions are mixed, they need to be consistent throughout every batch. Using traditional mixing methods can’t and does not yield the type of consistently often needed for precision farming equipment. The inconsistent mixing of chemicals often means that precision spraying nozzles get clogged, which can be very challenging to clean.
EvenMix®, has the solution in the form of their new generation of mixers, already being used across a multitude of farms in the US. The mixers take a whole new approach to tote mixing, offering a more powerful, consistent, and easy-to-use mixing solution. It also decreases the number of people to a single person needed to operate the mixer, allowing farmers to consistently mix various chemicals and solutions using the least labor and power.
In the next few years, a new generation of precision sprayers and bots will rely on consistently mixed solutions. That’s why EvenMix®’s[ tote mixers](https://evenmix.com/tote-mixer/) are fast becoming one of the most popular machines in the farming industry.
## The Future of Precision Farming
Precision Farming has a lot to offer in terms of minimizing the environmental impact of farming, soil erosion, water conservation, improving crop yields, and reducing a lot of the costs associated with farming in general. The future of precision farming is bright, with a new generation of bots, drones, sensors, satellite, satellite imagery, and various other farming equipment on the horizon. Furthermore, we will see an increased demand for precision farming equipment, especially as their prices decrease and their benefits become a lot more apparent. That’s why in our opinion, precision farming technologies (smart farming) are the future!

### Cutting-Edge Power Systems
Our electric drives operate on standard 110 volts and draw just 2 amps, which is comparable to the power consumption of a ceiling fan. If you prefer air-driven models, those require only 13 cubic feet per minute of air. You can also pick a battery-powered mixer that’ll run for roughly three hours on a 6 amp battery. The cool part? Our mixers use about one-third of the energy compared to others on the market, but they deliver twice the torque. That’s real savings and real power.
## Energy Efficiency
### Minimal Electrical Power Use
We make our mixers to sip electricity, not gulp it. The electric model runs on 110 volts and just 2 amps—again, think ceiling fan levels. Less power means more money in your pocket, and who doesn’t like that?
### Optimized Air Flow Mixers
Our air mixers only need 13 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of air. That’s a pretty small demand, so you’re not wasting energy. And if you opt for the battery-powered option, you’ll get approximately three hours of mixing time on a 6 amp battery, even for heavy jobs.
## Battery-Powered Solutions
### Longer Battery Runtime
[Our battery keeps the mixer running](https://evenmix.com/battery-powered-mixer/) for about three hours, even when you’re mixing something heavy. It runs on a 6 amp battery, so you don’t have to stop and recharge all the time. That means you can keep working without annoying interruptions.
### Strong Torque Output
We provide you with twice the torque of other mixers on the market. Our battery-powered systems handle tough mixing jobs without issue. You get the muscle you need, but you’re still saving energy.
Sustainability Benefits
### Lower Energy Consumption
Our mixers barely sip electricity—about the same as a ceiling fan running on 110 volts and 2 amps. The air mixer? It only uses 13 CFM of air. That means we use about one-third the power of most other mixers. And the battery option? It’ll last up to three hours, even with heavy mixing.
### Decreased Operating Expenses
Use less energy, pay less on your electricity bills—that’s the idea behind our mixers. They run efficiently and pack twice the torque of a lot of other brands, so you get solid performance without the extra hit to your wallet. Whether you opt for electric or air, you end up saving on power while still achieving the strong mixing action you need.

###### *Three Must-See EvenMix® Products*
EvenMix®, true to its name, makes industrial mixers of various types. We stand behind all of our products, but if we had to pick some favorites that we believe everybody must see, we’ll go with the *Three Must-See EvenMix® Products* here:
##### *Three Must-See EvenMix® Products*
[**1) Our Double Blade Drum Mixer**](https://evenmix.com/double-blade/)
Our Double Blade Drum Mixer is what we consider to be our signature product. It has one blade on the top and another on the bottom, hence the “double blade” in the name. The mixing blades are powder coasted to prevent whatever you’re mixing from sticking to them, and you can even attach the blades from the bottom of the drum with our special pinless system. When it’s in action, the top blade moves downwards, while the bottom one moves upwards, ensuring that you get an even mix every time. The blades themselves can handle up to 800 inch pounds of torque without putting any stress on them. It’s no wonder that we consider this to be the second of our must-see products.
[**2) Our Five and Ten Gallon Pail Mixer**](https://evenmix.com/pail-mixers/)
Yes, we put two items at number three, but that’s only because they both work so well and fall into the same product category. Our pail mixers are, of course, designed to mix things in pails, hence their names. They are made of the same powerful motors and non-stick blades as all of our products, and comes in both regular and super duty versions, ready to mix just about anything. Our pail mixers also let in less air while they’re mixing, stir evenly to ensure that your blend comes out perfect, and are more affordable than other companies’ versions. For this reason and many others, our pail mixers are placed at number three on our must-see products list.
[**3) The EvenMix® Air Motor**](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-air-geared-motor/)
The EvenMix® Air Motor is the secret (well, not so secret anymore, since it’s listed on our website and discussed here) power behind all of our products. Ours is made by American Assembly Tools using our proprietary design. The air motor is the star of all our mixers, thanks to the 32 foot pounds of torque that it provides. It can produce up to .63 horse power at 80 pounds per square inch of air pressure. The air motor is why our mixers are so reliable and powerful, which is why it comes in at number one on our list.

Geared Motors vs. Direct
Here at EvenMix®, we make decisions based off of sound reasoning and diligent research. Everything we do has a purpose, and we make sure that efficiency and quality are at their highest levels in our products. That’s why so many people are beginning to rely on the innovations that EvenMix® has to offer such a a geared motor instead of a direct drive.
RPM is a big statistic in the mixing industry, but it’s not of much use when you look at the bottom line. The only thing anyone who is buying a mixer should ask themselves is: Does it mix well? Statistics like RPM and HP are used to make products seem more glamorous than they actually are. Big numbers attract buyers, but we’re not looking to deceive you into liking our product. We want you to really see that our offerings beat the competition.
We can afford to mix at low RPM because of our geared drive. This allows us to gear down the RPM to 200-300. With a direct motor, the speed is typically locked somewhere around 2000 RPM. Thanks to our ability to mix efficiently at substantially lower speeds, a geared drive is the perfect fit for our product. Why are we able to do this? It’s because we have less drag. In fact, we have about 1/3 the drag coefficient of the leading mixer. And since the power to overcome drag is proportional to the square of the speed, we simply don’t need all of that speed because we don’t have much drag to overcome.
###### You Deserve [EvenMix®](https://evenmix.com/three-must-see-even-mix-products/)
Now, we know that the customer’s needs are what are important, and you’re probably thinking: why does this matter to me? Well, it’s because we can save the money that our competitors spend on power, and put it into the quality of our blades and the research that pushes our innovation. Such innovation that has led to a motor that can be used for multiple blades because of how light and easily transferable it is. What other air motor is only 7 pounds!? Don’t waste your time and money with a motor that takes two people to move and mixes substantially slower. You deserve better. You deserve EvenMix®.

### [EvenMix: American-Made IBC Tote Mixers Built with Pride in Cleveland](https://evenmix.com/evenmix-american-made-ibc-tote-mixers-built-with-pride-in-cleveland/)
**Published:** May 20, 2025
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
While most industrial equipment now comes stamped with “Made in China,” EvenMix® is bucking the trend. Right in the heart of Cleveland, Ohio, they’re crafting premium IBC tote mixers that outperform imports across the board. Step inside their workshop and you’ll see American craftsmanship in action – from robust tote mixers to heavy-duty 55 gallon drum mixers, all built by Ohio hands on Ohio soil.
## **American-Made Quality: The EvenMix IBC Tote Mixer Advantage**
Let’s face it – industrial mixing isn’t sexy, but it’s crucial. When your mixture isn’t uniform, products fail, money gets wasted, and customers complain. EvenMix® tackles this head-on with [IBC tote mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-anti-contamination-folding-mixer/) powered by honest-to-goodness American motors. Not motors “assembled” here from foreign parts – we’re talking the real deal.
“From motors to gearboxes, we rely on American suppliers and even produce many components in-house,” says [Phil Rankin](https://evenmix.com/seizing-opportunities-phil-rankin/), the guy who built EvenMix® from the ground up. This isn’t just flag-waving patriotism; it’s practical business sense. When your IBC tote mixer is churning through chemicals worth thousands of dollars, you can’t afford failures or inconsistency.
The secret sauce? Those gearboxes. While competitors ship in pre-made gearboxes from wherever they’re cheapest, EvenMix® builds theirs right on the shop floor in Cleveland. This hands-on approach gives them direct oversight of one of the most critical components in any industrial mixer. As any engineer will tell you – a mixing system is only as good as its gearbox. For operations where bad mixing means bad products, that difference matters.
## **From Cleveland to Your Facility: The Journey of an EvenMix Tote Mixer**
When you order an EvenMix® IBC tote mixer, you’re not setting off a global scavenger hunt of parts. [Everything happens in Cleveland](https://maps.app.goo.gl/oH3fwPMNKhULTuEFA), from the first design sketch to the final shipping label. No bouncing between five countries, no “lost in translation” specs, no finger-pointing when something goes wrong.
“We believe in quality, reliability, and American craftsmanship,” Rankin says, and you can hear the pride in his voice. It’s not just talk. That EvenMix® tote mixer that shows up at your loading dock was built by people who understand your industry challenges because they’ve been solving them for years.
Their complete production process stays within American borders:
- Engineering of new designs
- Design of all components
- Assembly of finished products
- Shipping to customers
This end-to-end domestic approach creates tangible benefits you’ll notice:
| **Production Stage** | **Benefit** |
|---|---|
| Local Engineering | Direct problem-solving when issues arise |
| In-house Design | Consistent standards across products |
| US-based Assembly | Close supervision of build quality |
| Domestic Shipping | Reduced transit time to your facility |
Nearly everything inside that box was made stateside. Not “assembled in USA” with a footnote about foreign parts – we mean American-made components throughout. This applies to their whole lineup, including those workhorse 55 gallon drum mixers that have become the go-to for smaller batches across countless industries.
## **Supporting American Innovation in Industrial Mixing Technology**
Buying an EvenMix® IBC tote mixer isn’t just getting equipment; it’s casting a vote for a different kind of manufacturing future. One where “good enough” isn’t good enough, and where someone picks up the phone when you call with questions.
The ripple effects go beyond your mixing tank. Supporting companies like EvenMix® keeps technical know-how in American hands. It means the next generation of manufacturing talent has somewhere to learn their craft. It means someone’s keeping the lights on in Cleveland factories instead of abandoning them for cheaper shores.
For plant managers who’ve experienced the particular headache of bad mixing – off-spec products, wasted materials, customer complaints – an American-made EvenMix® tote mixer offers something priceless: reliability. Their 55 gallon drum mixers bring that same peace of mind to smaller operations that can’t afford downtime any more than the big guys can.
This commitment to domestic sourcing provides several concrete benefits:
- Better oversight of component quality standards
- Consistent performance across all parts
- Reduced delays in production and maintenance
- Direct contribution to the American manufacturing economy
Got a mixing challenge nobody’s solved? Try calling those overseas mixer companies. Then try calling Cleveland. The difference is night and day – EvenMix® engineers are hands-on problem solvers who’ve likely tackled similar issues before and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty finding solutions.
“We’re proud to manufacture our mixers right here in Cleveland, Ohio,” Rankin says, and you can tell he means business – because his business depends on delivering quality with every IBC tote mixer that ships out.

### [Mixing in Large Tanks](https://evenmix.com/mixing-in-large-tanks/)
**Published:** December 7, 2020
**Author:** Phil Rankin
**Content:**
# **Mixing in Large Tanks**
One of the most significant challenges for regular or traditional mixers is mixing in large tanks. Large tanks or large diameter tanks by their very definition range from 500 gallons on the low end to 5000 gallons on the high end. Most industrial mixers aren’t able to generate enough circulation to mix the liquid efficiently. Creating significant circulation often means using larger blades, and that leads to a heftier mixer even then the results depending on the situation could be subpar. The most common issue with traditional mixers is the collection of residue on the bottom.
The challenge is further compounded when the mixing system needs to deal with a [high viscosity liquid](https://www.sciencelearn.org.nz/resources/1500-viscosity). While mixing tank size matters, the liquid in them isn’t just water which would conceivably be easier to mix. However, many tank agitators use numerous solutions to tackle the problem, but they almost always involve heavy equipment that needs either multiple people or a forklift to handle. Plus, they tend to consume a lot more energy.
At EvenMix® we have found the solution to mixing any liquid regardless of viscosity in large stainless-steel mixing tanks or even water storage tanks for that matter. Our technology stands out from competing industrial mixers. The key component here is how these new mixers are designed, which gives them a significant advantage over often competing traditional mixers.
## **How Do These Large Mixing Tank Agitators Work?**
EvenMix® has taken a more straightforward and comparatively simple approach with our [expanded mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer/) that can easily stir up a large 5000-gallon tank of liquid. Both our air drives and electric drives are capable of mixing in these large containers which keep energy consumption at a minimum. The significant difference as compared to our highly successful tote mixers is that these mixers or agitators use 7-foot shafts and are equipped with three pairs of blades.
The three blades coupled with the long shaft ensures that the mixer can reach near the bottom of any large mixing tank. Plus it is capable of generating an effective pumping action for a thorough mix. A video demonstrating the agitator in action can be [found here](https://youtu.be/36OBDwhb2MA). The video shows the tank agitator mixing a 1300-gallon water storage tank filled with powder and water for 15 minutes. The result shows an evenly mixed powder, in other words, the perfect slurry without any of it sticking to the sides or bottom of the tank.
### **Patented Variable Mixing Blade Technology**
As mentioned earlier, one of the challenges that need to be overcome is that the fluid dynamics of each type of liquid or mixture varies. Traditional mixers aren’t capable of being powerful enough to often ensure the type of mixing needed for many different applications. That’s why we use our patented [variable mixing blades](https://evenmix.com/the-inventive-even-mix-ibc-mixing-blade/) which are designed to generate circulation ensuring an even mix across the entirety of the tank making it a tank mixing system that does not rely on power and size alone.
Our patented blades have been used successfully in mixing large IBCs and across numerous liquids from [hand sanitizers](https://evenmix.com/hand-sanitizer-stand-built-to-last/) to glue. We took what was learned from using the blades to mix those liquids and applied it to designing a mixer that would be effective in a large tank. The result is mixers that are very well suited for mixing in containers upwards of 500 gallons, of low viscosity liquids, which is generally the consistency of paint or a little less. The mixer can also be used to keep a large container of liquid agitated.
### **A Lightweight Tank Mixing System**
Lightweight Tank Mixing System
There is a reason why large tank agitators are huge, with some weighing several dozen pounds these industrial mixers may not be practical for all applications. However, the more features a mixer has, the heavier it can get. Fortunately, we’ve been able to keep the heft down to a minimum. Unlike our competition, EvenMix® has an air drive that weighs just 7 pounds and a 10-pound electric drive. A single person can easily mount the drives on top of a large tank. Plus, they don’t dent or aren’t cumbersome to handle.
Also, unlike the competition, you don’t need to deal with large and heavy AC motor-driven industrial mixers that often require a significantly large bracket. Mixer can be easily mounted directly on top of the tank, making our tank mixing systems easy for everyone to use.
## **Get the EvenMix® Advantage**
The EvenMix® makes mixing in large tanks quick and simple. It is designed to make mixing liquids in enormous tanks possible. The patented three pairs of mixing blades make short work of any solution in the shortest time and with the least amount of effort. Plus similar to our drum and tote mixer, it mixes without adding a lot of air or with the undesired whipping action. The purpose of the mixer is to ensure that it mixes effectively regardless of what type of liquid, and solid need to be combined.
The mixer ensures that all materials are evenly mixed, with the corners and edges fully covered. Furthermore, our mixer can handle a myriad of materials with various viscosities. All that’s required is for it to be mounted correctly, which too does not require more than one person!
All queries, concerns, and inquiries are promptly handled by our trained [customer service professionals](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/). The same goes for replacement shafts, blades, and other parts which are readily available for varying mixing applications ensuring the least downtime for your business.

### [What are Planetary Gear Sets](https://evenmix.com/what-are-planetary-gear-sets/)
**Published:** August 21, 2019
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
Updated: March 11, 2021
The EvenMix® tote and drum mixer are powered with either electricity or air. It has a powerful motor that is designed to mix containers evenly and thoroughly with its patented design. An important part of their air and electric drive design is planetary gear sets. Planetary gears are gears that rotate around a central gear. Think of the sun and planets. The sun is the stationary gear, and the planets are the planetary gears. It creates planetary systems – Make sense? This type of design allows us to have a smaller, lightweight, and more compact design with the higher torque that we need for some materials. These sorts of motor designs are made for lower RPM (revolutions per minute) or speed and increase in torque. Something like putting your car into first gear to get that [torque](https://www.quora.com/High-torque-gives-low-speed-and-low-torque-gives-high-speed-How-does-this-happen-Explain-in-relation-to-bicycles-with-gears) you need to get out of a tight spot or to accelerate speed reduction.
## Planetary Gear Sets
Planetary Gear Sets
Our geared motors are designed with planetary gear systems as this is the most compact and lightweight motor design for our desired output. The electrical drive model only weighs 10 lbs, so it’s easily moved from tank to tank. Both the electrical and the pneumatic (air) motor have top speeds of 160 RPMs. And, both mix liquids that are up to 50,0000 cps. CPS is an abbreviation for [Centipoise](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poise_(unit)), which is the viscosity of a material. These planet gears offer a lower-weight solution for higher torques output. It provides higher power density as the weight of the load is dispursed across the planets and not resting on one gear. Because of this weight disbursement, the gear pairs last longer. Our planetary gear sets are made of metal materials to improve their longevity as well.
## How Planet Gears Work
The gear sets are just as you would imagine, those tiny sprockets with bumps all around the diameter that fit inside one another, similar to what you would find in automatic transmissions. As you turn one, the others turn with them. There is a stationary gear called the sun gear (or central sun gear) that the planetary gears move around. The planetary gear set is the outrings of the gear cluster, as sun gears are in the center. Similar to our solar system structure with planets and dynamics. This outer ring is called a ring gear or outer gear, and the planetary gears will move about it and the sun gear. These gears can be apart of planetary gear trains that will provide input or output to a shaft. Sometimes contained in planetary gear boxes.
This video does a good job showing how planetary systems works. This type of gear and a combination of gears and gear ratios will allow you to create a vast range of gear reductions. By combining these gear ranges and having them work together allows the drive to generate much higher torques or torque density than simply an air or electric motor would alone.
## Dependability
To provide our customers with a dependable motor, we’ve undertaken a tremendous amount of engineering in our motor design. This motor will produce the torques and speed that we need. Every part of our design for The EvenMix® [tote mixer](https://evenmix.com/tote-mixer/) was thought carefully through, right down to the planetary gear sets. We have gone and tested our [drum mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer/) against other types to find that it genuinely is the evenest and most thorough mixer on the market today.
## Principles of Operation
All our planetary gear sets are designed for ease of operation, durability, and performance by reducing system weight while maximizing acceleration outputs, speed outputs, and torque capabilities. They offer precise control performance and dynamics on a number of industrial applications, such as palletizing operations.
Understanding the needs of our clients in distinct industries, we’ve designed our Planetary Gear Set motors with three different types of planetary gear technologies that offer different torque ratings and speeds:
### 1. Wheel Drive:[](https://www.quora.com/High-torque-gives-low-speed-and-low-torque-gives-high-speed-How-does-this-happen-Explain-in-relation-to-bicycles-with-gears)
Let’s review the planetary gear dynamics. In the planetary gearbox, the planetary gears are attached to the carrier. The sun gear is hooked to the drive shaft, and when the sun gear is rotated, the planetary gears turn on it to rotate the outer ring gear. Planetary gearboxes provide a system with a fixed transmission ratio between the planet carrier and the planetary gears. Planetary gearboxes provide high torque and variable speed values but can be heavy and large. It is ideally suited for applications that require low speed and high torques. In addition, due to their efficiency and low noise level, wheel-driven planetary gear motors can significantly reduce operating costs. Wheel drive planetary gear motors are robust and durable, offering one of the best models on the market in terms of reliability.
### 2. Shaft Output:
Unlike the planetary gearbox, the output shaft motor features a gearbox that is mounted on an external shaft that hooks on to one of the intermediate gears. The planetary gearbox has one carrier which could be mounted on the motor, whereas a planetary gearbox with shaft output has one shaft carrying the gears, which in turn carrying the carrier. One disadvantage of this design is that the shaft output planetary gearboxes don’t last as long as the wheel drive planetary gearboxes because they don’t share common mechanisms. Other than that, the output planetary gearbox motors are robust and durable, offering one of the best models in the category of reliability.
### 3. Spindle Output:
The planetary gearbox with spindle output is a hybrid of the planetary gearbox, shaft output, and driveshaft gearboxes. The planetary gearbox is fixed on the motor. Whereas a shaft output motor has a gearbox fixed on the motor and a drive shaft gearbox mounted on another bearing that separates the planetary gearbox from the motor. One disadvantage of this design is that this design is heavy and quite large in volume resulting in high operating costs. However, it provides needed torques and speed range, but again low running cost and can be quite durable.
## What Are Planetary Gears Used For?
Capable of achieving high maximum torque and output RPMs that can provide the required tension for a wide range of applications. Planetary gear sets are most commonly used in industry for medium-high torque applications, ranging from forklifts to agriculture equipment and for marine applications.
### 1. Wheel Drives:
Planet gearboxes are used in wheel transmissions for industrial and commercial applications, from agricultural equipment, material handling equipment, and forklifts to postal equipment and bridge construction. Planetary gearboxes have lower induction losses because they have fewer gear changes, are more efficient, lighter, and quieter than larger transmissions. With a torque capability of delivering up to 332,000 Nm, planetary gearboxes can feed machine tools, presses, and conveyors with the speed combinations and torque needed to get the job done.
### 2. Track Drives:
Track drives and trolley systems have higher performance requirements than wheel drive systems. Planetary gearboxes, with their high torque and output, are used to power the main drives of railway systems in the form of locomotives, stationary electric motors, self-propelled lawnmowers, and even tanks. Switching from gears to planetary gearboxes for track drives and trolley systems increases the torque required to accelerate and brake the train. Planetary gearboxes with a wide range of output speeds and torque provide the power needed to provide the traction required to move the train, provide vehicle speed and improve safety.
### 3. Conveyors:
Compared to wheel conveyor systems, planetary gearboxes offer greater point-to-point reliability and higher operating speeds. Because planetary gearboxes take up less space than other gearboxes, they are better suited to the higher speeds required to produce parts, which means lower production costs, thereby also reducing maintenance costs. In addition, the planetary gearbox is capable of providing the higher torque required while maintaining vibration levels comparable to those of wheel drive systems, which means fewer cases of drive failure and reduced operator fatigue during conveyor shifts.
### 4. Pumps:
Pumps are essential in all industrial and residential systems, from sewage systems to power generation, papermaking, and grinding. Planetary gearboxes, with their higher efficiency, lower noise, and longer life, provide greater performance and higher torque that is required to operate the pumps. Other special situations, such as low-speed industrial pumps, harsh environments, and the fast switching required for low-budget installations, are available with planetary gearboxes and provide the desired performance and reliability.
### 5. Military Use:
From robotic arms to container cranes, robotic systems operate at a precise speed, which standard gearboxes cannot provide. Planetary gearboxes enable the robotics and automation industry to achieve faster speed changes and higher torque while maintaining the precision necessary for proper operation. This is especially important in hard-to-reach areas where there is a dynamic load. The faster shifting speed of planetary gearboxes also means that there is less risk of parts falling off the faster-moving gears. Planetary gearboxes are also important for making military equipment more agile and powerful – advanced robotic extensions.
## Planet Gears Types
Our planetary gearboxes are available in a single-speed or a double-speed model, depending on the application. The single-speed gears have one-half the number of gear teeth that the double-speed gears do. Both are accordingly quiet and features durability unmatched in the industry. Furthermore, our planetary gearboxes can also incorporate dynamic, electromechanical, or hydraulic braking systems, that can be tailored to your specifications when needed. Depending on what you need, our gearbox is up to the challenge. With our gear technology and the mixture of state-of-the-art planetary, driveshaft, and spindle output gearbox designs, there is no demand that our gearboxes can’t handle.
## How Do I Know What Planetary Gearbox I Need?
Planetary gear systems have been a staple of the industry and are still going strong today. They have become more advanced as technology has developed, making them easier to use for the end-user and also more efficient in their performance. Now, if you’re thinking about using a planetary gearbox – or just need advice on what kind to choose – there are a few things you should consider first. When choosing a planetary gearbox, there are going to be several considerations: operating conditions, durability, efficiency, size, and price are all things you need to take into account before making your purchase. We have worked hard to ensure that you have the best gearbox for any given application. Our experience, combined with our in-depth product knowledge, has enabled us to provide you with a planetary gearbox of the highest efficiency and longest life expectancy and minimal mechanical losses to suit your needs, guaranteeing you the torque required to achieve your goals.

### [Improved Gearbox Punch](https://evenmix.com/improved-gearbox-punch/)
**Published:** September 24, 2019

# **Improved Gearbox**
After some careful consideration we’ve done it, we have created a more beefy and robust gearbox that packs a serious punch to our EvenMix® mixing technology. Our gearbox is made to handle harsh loads with ease. You will not find any [plastic components](https://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/150/gear-failures) in here, everything is made of metal and steel for improved life longevity. After all, these mixers are made to be used and industrial settings are not easy on mixers.
Our patented 3D technology works with the bottom and sides of the container as baffles to ensure even mixing each and every time throughout the container. Inside the gearbox, you will find 3 sets of [planetary gears](https://evenmix.com/what-are-planetary-gear-sets/). These gears are made of metal and able to take on heavy side loads as well as pack a 1:125 gear reduction. This packs a serious punch to the mixer. This greatly increases power to the mixer and increases its torque and reduces its speed. Every gearbox comes with 2 large metal bearings that are made to work under load. These bearings are an improvement from our previous gearbox and made to ensure a long lifespan and proper mixing. We are always working on improving the EvenMix® products in even the most subtle ways.
**EvenMix® Gearbox**
The planetary gears are arranged inside the gearbox to reduce the speed and increase the torque of the mixer. Many mixers go direct from the drive output to the mixing shaft. These mixers have high speeds and often sheer the liquids being mixed. Gearboxes are used on some mixers but the components are made from plastic. At EvenMix® we use high strength components and assemble our low weight drives with a great box to achieve strong power for mixing provided from a low weight drive system. You won’t find another mixer with the combination of electric, 120 V AC, 12 pounds total, 160 RPM Max, variable speed control, and 16” spanning mixing blades. There is nothing like it on the market today.
We have patented technology designed to ensure everything is mixed evenly within the tote or drum. Our mixers are made from hardened stainless steel alloy 316 and designed to handle up to 800 lbs per inch of force to allow our mixer to mix even some of the toughest materials.
## **Advantages to Planetary Gears**
Improved Gearbox
The advantage of having planetary gears are that they offer a very high torque output for a very small gearbox. They offer higher power density. This is due to the load not all on one gear but spread over all of the gears making this a very robust system. This allows the motor box to last longer and have better output. This gearing system is a bit more expensive upfront but well worth it in the end. We are providing this upgrade in performance and longevity without a change to sales price! We have combined this impeccable gearing system with robust bearings and strengthened steel blades. Our designs are built to last and function with ease.

# **Closed Head Drum Mixer**
Drums come in a few different forms. Some have an [open head](https://www.skolnik.com/blog/open-head-vs-tight-head-drums/) that can be removed and completely expose the top of the material, allowing our EvenMix® to be inserted directly to mix the liquid. We offer the perfect EvenMix® Lid Mixer for this sort of opening. We have a new EvenMix® [Closed Head Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer/) that has the largest folding blades on the market. It inserts through the lid (2” bung opening) and the blades expand to 16”! It’s the same patented blade design that you count on EvenMix® to deliver and now amazingly through a 2” opening!
There are even a couple of options to choose from for your mixing needs. Both designs come with a 16″ patented blade with a center bung mount and are powered by either air or electricity. Our patented design is to mix within the drum from all angles to give a nice and even mix. The closed head drum mixer is lightweight and easily moved from drum to drum by just one person. And, it is very dependable and reliable as the gearbox is made from nothing but top of the line metal components. Yes, we had thought of just about everything when we made our EvenMix® mixer.
## **Closed Head Drum Mixer**
A closed head drum is where there is only a 2″ hole at the top of the drum. It can present a problem for some mixers, but not the EvenMix® mixer. We have designed our mixer so that it will easily fit into this small opening. The blades are 16″ which are some of the largest on the market, as most are only 5″. This allows for a better [mix within the drum](https://evenmix.com/mixing-in-drums/) and a better outcome overall. This style of the mixer has a simple mounting clamp for the air or electric drives. It is easily moved from one drum to the next by one person as it is made to be low weight but yet very effective.
Our goal was to make closed head drum mixers that actually, well, mix! There are so many drum mixers out there that simply do not do a good job. And, some materials really need proper mixing to be effective. There is always the old-style mixing, as well, such as rolling the barrel on the floor or on a cart. However, this is probably the worst method of them all.
### **EvenMix® Drum Mixer**
Closed Head Drum Mixer
Getting your product that is in a drum mixed effectively and efficiently has never been easier. If you are only working with a 2″ hole, that is not a problem! Our new patented design was created for just this dilemma. We understand the mixing needs of our clients and are working hard to bring them amazing solutions that will outperform and outlast what they are currently using. Our mixers work with the sides of the drum to ensure EvenMix® throughout. We have worked extensively on the gearing of this mixer, as well. Our engineers take great pride in the gearbox of the motor and its ability to mix all different types of materials with ease. It was designed to last and be easy enough for one person to move from barrel to barrel.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding our EvenMix® closed head drum mixers, be sure to ask. We are proud of our innovative technology and are [happy to talk](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/) to you about it.

### [Mixing in Drums](https://evenmix.com/mixing-in-drums/)
**Published:** December 18, 2019
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
There are many ways to mix in drums. However, not all the mixing ways are sufficient enough for the job. Things such as rolling the drums, air mixing, and bung insert mixers are some of these options. When you are looking to mix the liquid inside a drum, you need to understand to what degree do you need the contents mixed. Some materials and applications don’t need super accurate mixing. However, most do. That is why we offer the most effective mixer on the market today. When it comes to a quality mixer, you need something dependable and user-friendly. [The EvenMix® Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer/) offers just these features and more.
## Rolling drum mixer
A [Rolling drum mixer](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/251700967_Enhancing_mixing_of_particles_by_baffles_in_a_rotating_drum_mixer) is a somewhat effective but easy way to mixing in drums. Essentially it is just rolling the drum around. This can be done by placing the drum on the floor and rolling it to the desired location. As the drum rolls, it will mix the contents inside. This is not a super-effective way to blend what is inside the drum, but for some materials, it may be all that you need.
## Air Mixing
Air mixing in drums is well just that, mixing with air. Air mixing is excellent, but it doesn’t get down in the corners of the barrel. The edges tend to get left out. And, well, you are injecting air into your materials, which can cause unwanted bubbles in the materials as well. This is a form of mixing that works for some materials, but it is not the best choice.
Bung inserted mixing in Drums
## Bung inserted mixers
Bung mixing in drums is a method to mix materials inside a drum, as well. However, they are not very effective, run at high speeds, and cause temperature issues. These mixers run at high speeds and quite often run a high shear rate due to high speed. Typically they have a tiny and ineffective blade on them that turns the material.
## The EvenMix®
The EvenMix® Drum Mixer is a mixer that is designed to do the max amount of mixing in drums as possible. It has a patented 15″ center blade that unfolds once inside the drum. It mixes evenly without adding a lot of air or whipping action. The design of this mixer is for one purpose, and that is to mix effectively. Our mixer gets all the material mixed even and effectively, even the corners and edges. If it is essential to have a nice even mix than you should be looking at the EvenMix® Drum Mixer to do the job.
When working with liquid materials, there is a lot of materials with various viscosities. It is crucial to have a mixer that can handle these various materials adequately. The [EvenMix® Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/mixing-corn-gluten-is-easy-with-our-ibc-mixer/) is designed for just this purpose, and its low weight makes for easy portability. We wanted a mixer that was effective, easy to use, and easy to move. Our patented design can be moved by just one person. There is no need for heavy equipment to move the mixer from barrel to barrel. And they are easy to use as well.
Our gearbox has been redesigned to give you maximum power and the very best quality that lasts for mixing in drums. Take a look at the EvenMix® [Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer/) today.

### [Liquids Mixed in Drums](https://evenmix.com/liquids-mixed-in-drums/)
**Published:** December 26, 2019
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
Many materials are shipped in drums from polymers and paints to chemicals, adhesives, food, etc. Most drums are made of steel and are round. This allows for equal pressure on all sides and is easy to ship and move around. [55-gallon drums](https://www.ruralsprout.com/55-gallon-barrel-uses/) are some of the most common. The materials that are within these drums tend to settle over time and will need to be mixed. When these drums are transported, they need to be well sealed, especially if the contents are liquid. These liquid contents require a hefty seal to ensure there isn’t a gigantic mess.
## Tighthead Drums
Tighthead drums are used to transport liquid materials such as perfumes, drinks, or lower viscosity materials similar to water. Typically the lids are not removable, but there are fixtures at the top for access to the contents inside. And, when UN rated, they are used for hazardous materials as well. When working with a tight head drum, is it very hard to get a mixer inside that will do proper mixing as the access hole is much smaller than having an open head drum. When contents inside need to be mixed, you need to find a mixer that will not sheer the product, provides a constant mixing action and doesn’t introduce air as well. This is why we have invented the EvenMix® [Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer/).
Some solids or thicker materials will come in a drum that the entire lid is removable. This is called an open head drum. Typically the lid is held on by a lever or some sort of buckle. Materials with a higher viscosity such as oil, lubricants, glues, and syrups will come in an open head drum.
## Foldable Blades
Foldable Blades for Liquids Mixed in Drums
The lid on a tight head drum makes it very hard to find a mixer that is effective in mixing the contents inside, or [mixing in drums](https://evenmix.com/mixing-in-drums/). However, our patented mixer is built for the job. It has foldable 15″ blades that will get from edge to edge. And, it can fit through the small 2” opening without any issues. We also offer brackets that will hold our mixer to the open head drums to provide even mixing for those materials, as well. All of this can quickly be done with a mixer that is easy to move from one drum to the next. Our mixers allow this to be done with a weight that is far below what the OSHA standards are for this type of mixer.
## EvenMix® Drum Mixer
When looking for a mixer for your drums, be sure that you are looking at nothing but the best. The EvenMix® Drum Mixer was designed with drum mixing in mind. The patented gearbox and foldable blades make it perfect for mixing just about any substance. If you are looking for a great mixer for tackling liquids mixed in drums, that does a fantastic job and is easily moved from one container to the next, then you have come to the right place. Our mixer was designed with barrel mixing in mind. It is made to get the material evenly mixed within the barrel without shearing the material or introducing air and whipping it up. It generates a flow of material in every direction from vertical, to axial and horizontal. This allows it to really get everything mixed well and evenly.

### [Using a Drum as a Mixing Vessel](https://evenmix.com/using-a-drum-as-a-mixing-vessel/)
**Published:** January 3, 2020
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
Using a drum as a mixing vessel to mix your material just makes sense. If you have purchased a liquid or semi-solid material and need it mixed, mixing it right in the vessel will save time from transferring it and money. However, this can be a bit tricky, especially with [closed head drums](https://evenmix.com/closed-head-drum-mixer/). These are drums that are used for shipping materials such as fragrances, beverages, and other things that have a low viscosity. These drums come with a sealed top and only a 2″ opening for us to get something inside for mixing.
Often times the mixers will introduce air or shear the material inside. This is not desirable. And, many times, people are looking to mix two more materials within a barrel or IBC as well. Customized mixing machines can be very costly, but drums and IBCs are not. In fact, they are in abundance if the original materials are shipped in them. However, the mixers on the market today do not effectively [mix within drums](https://evenmix.com/mixing-in-drums/) or IBC’s well. Many times they introduce air and shear the product. Yet, we have a solution that is both affordable and does a great job. The EvenMix® mixer is fantastic in that it [mixes evenly within the drum](https://evenmix.com/can-possibly-mix-mixers/) or IBC. It is made with a powerful geared motor that can power through even the most robust materials. The foldable blades allow it to fit into tight spots, even tight heads.
## **How Do You Effectively Mix Two Liquids?**
When using conventional mixers, it is common that the materials will get sheared during mixing. Many times the blades are very small, and high speed is applied even to make them effective. The alternative was using an air mixer, which will introduce air into the system and essentially whip things up. This can cause undesirable bubbles and air pockets. However, the blades of the Easy Mix Drum Mixer are 15″ wide for our drum mixer. They fold up and will even fit through the 2” opening of a tighthead drum. This allows you to get a very even mix. This mixer doesn’t introduce air and will not sheer your material. As the blades will mix in literally all directions using the sides of the container to help.
### **How to Use a Drum as a Mixing Vessel**
The Easy Mix patented blades are designed **not** to create a vortex that will introduce air. They are foldable so that they can fit into a smaller opening than the container and are wide to allow proper flow over and around them. We designed and engineered our blades to work with the walls of the container to get a nice even flow without shearing the material. Each [drum mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer/) is made with metal gears that allow for a longer lifespan. Everything in the gearbox was carefully Engineered to allow for things to be lightweight yet effective. We are sure you will be impressed with the weight of this little mixer. It can be easily changed out by one person without any crazy equipment. It is also under the weight [OSHA](https://www.osha.gov/) allows.

### [IBC Tote Mixer Features](https://evenmix.com/ibc-tote-mixer-features/)
**Published:** December 18, 2020
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
IBC Tote mixers also referred to as [IBC totes](https://morningchores.com/uses-for-ibc-totes/) are commonly used containers for liquid distribution. However, the product line for any given brand or even across the entirety of the industry is pretty diverse. That said there are a number of issues often associated with [IBC tote mixers](https://evenmix.com/tote-mixer/) in general but one of which happens to be inefficient impellers or a mixing blade that isn’t sufficient. On budget models, for instance, some important IBC tote mixer features may be compromised. Then there is also the fact that these mixers are incredibly heavy weighing upwards of 30 lbs.
The other perhaps most common problem with many IBC mixers is that they don’t seem to do as good a job of mixing various liquids as they should. Speaking of mixing it is often a two-person operation, which is a drain on a business’s resources. Fortunately, a new generation of tote mixers led by brands like ours i.e. EvenMix®TM is changing things for the better.
In this article we’ll look at how EvenMix®’s IBC Tote Mixers are changing the game so to speak, making them one of the most desirable mixing machines today.
## **A Lightweight Design**
The average tote mixer features an all-metal design for the most part, which makes it incredibly challenging to move around but ensures durability. As mentioned earlier, their (IBC tote mixer) bulky construction using stainless steel adds weight with some weighing as much as 100 pounds. So, when it’s time to move them, it will either have to be done by two people or will require a forklift.
However, EvenMix®’s [IBC Tote Mixers](https://evenmix.com/mixing-farm-chemicals-with-a-tote-mixer/) are lightweight and can be handled by a single person. The Air Drive Mixer weighs just 9lbs, and their Electric Drive Mixer just 12lbs. The weight includes everything, i.e. the shaft, mixers, and drive motor. However, despite their lightweight, the tote lid mixer does not compromise on mixing efficiency. In fact, the technology built into them allows for more efficient and thorough mixing.
## **The Innovative Implementation of 3D Mixing Technology**
Many of the latest toe mixer models have a variety of features, ranging from varying speed to other options that can make the mixer more versatile. However, many if not most of these mixers use a particular set of [mixing blades](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer/) which limits their ability. Often it is an inefficient design, which means for the drive to effectively mix high viscosity liquids they will need to run at very high RPMs. The drawback to this technology is that it injects air and sheer at these high speeds, which may not be desirable in many industries.
On the other hand, the patented EvenMix®TM, a Mixing blade designed by a former NASA Engineer is able to perform better with less power in the container. The new blade is considered revolutionary, and a result of hundreds of hours of testing and design.
The air drive as it’s called consumes just 13 Cubic Feet per minute of air at 90 psi. In other words, you don’t have to worry about injecting air into the product.
## **A Simplistic Approach to Tote Mixers**
Many traditional IBC tote mixers many features that are now considered “standard”. However, they add a layer of additional complexity with numerous connections offering variable speed, and attachments. More complexity also means that many things tend to go wrong, and that’s why these mixers are considered unreliable.
EvenMix®TM takes a more simplistic approach to tote mixing technology. The company has spent lots of time and consequently money on creating special mixing blades along with our air duct technology to make the mixers simpler. The resulting system offers variable speed and all without needing a separate unit.
## **How Does EvenMix®’s Tote Mixer Work?**
EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer Features
EvenMix®TM has designed a tote mixer that ensures an even distribution of all materials throughout all IBC containers. The star of the show has to be the uniquely designed and shaped Mixed Flow Blades that do the heavy lifting in all types of liquid-filled IBCs. The blades can be folded making them easier to insert through a 6-inch opening and just as easily unfolded inside to mix the contents. If anything the folding blades tend to slash a few minutes of work from the process.
Once inside the IBC, the [large 16-inch blades](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-folding-blades-pt100000ss/) will unfold, and be ready for the mixing process. However, the company also sells fixed blade mixers for the 55-gallon drum (bulk container) mixer that’s available with both two and one set of blades.
The second blade is an inverted blade that when added, pumps down the liquid that’s lifted up by the blade on the bottom. What this results in is a highly effective pumping action that ensures a thorough mix. It also shortens the time it takes to mix many liquids as compared to using a traditional alternative tote mixer because there is no need to create a vortex to mix the liquid. The pumping up and down action creates better circulation to ensure an even mix inside the container around the corners and at the bottom.
### **Superior Tote Mixers are the Future of Industrial Mixing**
As a business owner in the market for an IBC tote mixer with features that benefit you, there are two options out there. You can either buy a traditional mixer that ends up being heavy, more expensive, and difficult to maintain or buy one that uses innovative patented blade technology for a more even mix.
EvenMix®’s solution is simple, with fewer parts and even fewer things that can potentially go wrong. Plus, users can mix and match their drives with the mixers or the drum they are using. It is a flexible system that pays dividends for many businesses in terms of time, energy saved, and a favorable outcome of the mixed solution.
Furthermore, EvenMix®’s superior customer support for tote agitators or mixers is second to none. Everything from replacement blades to drives and other parts is easily available. So, businesses save time and consequently money by choosing a company that manufactures and designs all their own stuff.

### [Using Tote Mixer for Mixing Hand Sanitizer](https://evenmix.com/using-tote-mixer-for-mixing-hand-sanitizer/)
**Published:** March 22, 2020

## Using the EvenMix® Tote Mixer for Mixing Hand Sanitizer
As the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) continues to spread, the [CDC (Center for Disease Control)](https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/show-me-the-science-hand-sanitizer.html) and [WHO (World Health Organization)](https://www.who.int/gpsc/5may/en/) encourage us to wash hands frequently and use hand sanitizer. When it comes to mixing hand sanitizer, you need powerful technology that can achieve a cohesive mix. Failure to employ the correct mixing can result in materials that are improperly combined, [full of air](https://www.aiche.org/sites/default/files/cep/20150835.pdf), and inconsistent.
We all know how important it is to achieve the perfect mix and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you use the revolutionary [EvenMix® Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer//) to mix your hand sanitizer products.
## Mixing Hand Sanitizer
There are several recipes for hand sanitizer, including these [guidelines from the WHO](https://www.who.int/gpsc/5may/Guide_to_Local_Production.pdf). The basic ingredients are 2/3 alcohol, 1/3 aloe vera gel, and a few drops of lavender or essential oils to make it smell good. The active ingredients in hand sanitizer ethyl alcohol, or ethanol; isopropyl alcohol, which is found in rubbing alcohol; and benzalkonium chloride, which is commonly used in alcohol-free sanitizers. According to the Food and Drug Administration, about 97% of over-the-counter hand sanitizers use one of these three active ingredients. The key is to achieve [60% alcohol content in the final product according to the CDC](https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/pdf/hand-sanitizer-factsheet.pdf). Therefore, you need to have an alcohol containing ingredient with close to 99 percent alcohol by volume. Aloe vera gel (to help keep your hands smooth and to counteract the harshness of alcohol) is the second largest component with 1/3 of the total mixture. Finally a few drops of drops of essential oil, such as lavender oil, or you can use lemon juice instead to enhance the smell of the hand sanitizer.
 Mixing Hand Sanitizer
Anyone who’s ever tried to mix hand sanitizer or any other high viscosity material knows that it’s a difficult process due to the thickness. And it’s vital that you achieve the perfect mix or else the sanitizer won’t work properly, and you won’t achieve the correct proportions of the ingredients or have them consistently mixed throughout the container. We have several customers that are actively using the EvenMix® Tote Mixer with a [second set of blades](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-folding-blades-pt100000ss/) to ensure that the mixing process is quick and complete. Note that we recommend using the Air Drive Mixer to avoid a sparking situation. You don’t want a spark when mixing a high concentration of alcohol.
The last thing you want to do is waste a lot of time, money, and resources on the ingredients only to not be able to mix it correctly and have the product be unusable. This is why when you’re mixing high viscosity ingredients you need the proper mixing technology to get the job done right.
Call Phil at 440-236-6677 x 1. He has experience mixing hand sanitizer.
## How the EvenMix® Tote Mixer Works
[EvenMix®’s patented IBC tote mixer technology](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-ibc-tote-mixing-blade-a-revolutionary-new-product/) has the ability to perfectly mix even the heaviest of materials. This mixing blade is revolutionary in design, featuring heavy-duty power in a low weight design. One of the main features that help this technology stand apart from the competition is the fact that it’s low-weight enough for one person to install and use—you no longer need two or more people or worse yet a forklift to install your mixing blade.
Additionally, since this [mixing blade is designed specifically for IBC tote mixers](https://evenmix.com/using-tote-mixer-for-mixing-cbd/), you can keep your hand sanitizer right in your tote, eliminating the need to move them to different vessels, saving you time, money, and frustration. It mixes with a downward thrust to make sure that the mixing gets done even in the bottom corners of the IBC tote.
### Why Use the EvenMix® Tote Mixer for Mixing Hand Sanitizer
There are so many benefits to using the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer to mix your hand sanitizer, beginning with the fact that it’s simple to achieve the right mix of ingredients. It’s important to understand that our technology actually mixes the entire contents of the IBC tote at once (even in the corners) it does not simply sheer it. We mix and blend.
Additionally, you’ll benefit from the fact that our mixer does not add any air into the mix during the process. Other mixing blades, on the other hand, are known for causing a problem with air addition which can affect the quality of the mix.
 [EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer with Air Motor](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer//)
Lastly, when you use our patented tote mixer, you not only achieve the proper initial mix, but our technology has the power to continually and gently mix your liquid, keeping it consistent. Our blades use 3D mixing technology that mixes your liquid vertically, horizontally and circumferentially—there’s nothing else out on the market like it.

### Mixing Farm Chemicals
## Using the EvenMix® Tote Mixer for Mixing Farm Chemicals
Mixing farm chemicals is required either continuously or periodically to keep product mixture consistent, such as micronutrient coatings that settle out or Atrazine that gel up over time. Without performance in your mixing process, you will have issues in your downstream processes with application spraying equipment. When it comes to mixing farm chemicals, you need powerful technology that can achieve a cohesive mix. Failure to employ the correct mixing can result in materials that are improperly combined, [full of air, and inconsistent.We all know how important it is to achieve a consistent mix and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you use the revolutionary [EvenMix® Tote Mixer to mix your farm products. ](https:https://evenmix.com/contact-us/https://evenmix.com/contact-us/evenmix.comhttps://evenmix.com/contact-us/producthttps://evenmix.com/contact-us/ibc-tote-mixer)](https:https://evenmix.com/contact-us/https://evenmix.com/contact-us/www.aiche.orghttps://evenmix.com/contact-us/siteshttps://evenmix.com/contact-us/defaulthttps://evenmix.com/contact-us/fileshttps://evenmix.com/contact-us/cephttps://evenmix.com/contact-us/20150835.pdf)
## Mixing Farm Chemicals
There are several farm chemicals that require mixing. Fertilizers, herbicides, seed treatment, insecticides, and fungicides each have products that require mixing or agitation to keep all of their components in suspension. Failure to do so will result in wasting a full or partial container of product since it is too settled out and unusable at this point. Investing in the right mixing equipment will ensure that your investment in chemicals will be usable over time and through the seasons. It’s a small investment that will keep your chemicals from settling out and ensure that they have the same chemical ratio that the manufacturer intended. A common practice is to mix with an air wand. In our experience that won’t result in a consistent product mixture, takes a long time, and often changes the chemical makeup of the product as a result of the air introduction.
 IBC Tote Mixing Blade
We recently worked with a prominent coating supplier that needs to keep its product mixed consistently. It was currently being mixed through the use of air bubbles. While the air bubbles were able to mix a very thick product they didn’t result in a very consistent mixture and the introduction of air was actually causing a chemical reaction that resulted in a thickening substance that plugged up sprayers and other equipment. We were able to mix their product consistently, in less time, at a cost reduction. Now they are able to ensure their product quality in the field whether the container is new or has been sitting in the distribution warehouse for several months. Additionally, our mixers are low weight and therefore can be moved from one container to another without much effort.The last thing you want to do is waste a lot of time, money, and resources on the ingredients only to not be able to mix it correctly and have the product be unusable. This is why when you’re mixing high viscosity ingredients you need the proper mixing technology to get the job done right.Call Phil at 440-236-6677 x 1.

### [EvenMix® - Low and High Speed](https://evenmix.com/evenmix-com-low-and-high-speed-tote-mixing/)
**Published:** April 22, 2023
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
EvenMix® has quietly been engineering some of the finest [IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer/) and Tank mixers on the market today. We saw a lack of innovation in other mixers and a need in this very specific market. We wanted to change that by providing clients with a new and improved mixer that functions better, is lightweight, and is easier to use. Meanwhile, it still has the power to mix almost anything.
Mixers are not complicated machines, but no one had taken the time to sit down and truly design something that just worked. We worked hard on the design and considered every detail. It was built to last with [high-quality metal gears and bearings](https://www.nasa.gov/feature/glenn/2019/perseverance-is-key-to-nasa-s-advancement-of-alloys-for-bearings-and-gears). Furthermore, we wanted a mixer that could stay at a consistent speed, whether that speed is low or high.
## The Difference is the Speed
When you [mix at a low speed](https://evenmix.com/horsepower-vs-torque/), you gently agitate your liquid and keep it suspended. This is an excellent method for keeping things moving and ready to go. This prevents settling and is ideal in many situations.
If, on the other hand, you’re dealing with a separated liquid that will require a lot of mixing, you’ll probably want to use a higher speed for the initial mix. Although higher speeds will mix more effectively and quickly, keep in mind that shearing and the formation of an air vortex will occur during the mixing process.
Shearing is similar to what blender blades do when moving quickly and cutting up material. A high-speed mix will shear or cut material, even down to a cellular level. This may change the chemical composition of what is being mixed. Furthermore, shearing can cause the molecules to rub together, causing friction and heat.
Another factor to consider is the air vortex created when mixing at high speeds. This cyclone will aid in mixing your product, but it will also suck down a lot of unwanted air and air bubbles. Furthermore, it can cause the mixture to draw in dust and other particles from the surrounding air.
So, when deciding whether to mix at high or low speeds, keep in mind how aggressively you need to mix. It is important to keep in mind the shearing that can occur at higher speeds, as well as the vortex that could pull in the surrounding air and add air bubbles.
## EvenMix® Patented Blade Technology
Have you been dissatisfied with your mixer and believe there must be a better option on the market? EvenMix® founders were, so we set out to create the industry standard. We worked hard to create a mixer that will provide our customers with the perfect even mix they have been looking for every time. The quality of your product is dependent on how well it is mixed, which is why you should never settle for anything less than an EvenMix®.
The majority use a small boat-like propeller blade that is fixed. Other mixer blades have a fixed pitch blade that creates a vertical lift and vortex to draw air into the liquid.
Here at EvenMix®, [our blades are different](https://evenmix.com/how-do-mixing-blades-work/). We have created a mixer that mixes evenly at any speed. We understand how frustrating it can be to have a tank mixer that cannot mix evenly and properly. That’s why we set out to design something different.
Our blades rotate counter-clockwise, allowing them to sweep the bottom of the container while mixing, moving liquid up the sides and back down the center. This convection action produces superior even mixing for most materials.
Our mixers have a maximum speed of about 150 RPMs, which is sufficient for most applications. This minimizes sucking air into the mix, shearing your liquid, or generating a vortex. Most commercial mixers only combine vertically, shear the molecules of the product, mix at much faster rates, and frequently inject air into the liquid.
Because of their unique properties and full 3-D mixing, we have patented our blades.

### [DC Motor Power](https://evenmix.com/dc-motor-power/)
**Published:** September 7, 2019
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
# **DC Motors**
There is no right or wrong motor to use, AC or DC motor. Yet, when considering our motors for the EvenMix® mixers, we wanted to consider price as well as the advantages of a modern brushless DC motor. The Brushless DC motor has been used for decades in the Aerospace and [Robotics industry](https://www.therobotreport.com/robotics-industry-growing-faster-than-expected/) and a few years ago were introduced into the consumer products business in the very successful Dyson vacuum cleaner Digital motor.
DC Motors
We wanted EvenMix® tote and drum mixers to be lightweight and easy to move from one tank to the other. Also, we were looking for a robust motor that could handle the job without being super bulky. The Brushless DC motors met those objectives and tend to last longer as they don’t have brushes that wear out. Another great advantage of a DC motor is it can be controlled over a wide range of speeds and torque and constant torque can be provided over a wide variety of speed ranges.
Our DC motors are paired with a gearbox that contains a [planetary gear system](https://evenmix.com/what-are-planetary-gear-sets/). These gears are designed to run our EvenMix® mixers with ease and efficiency. Our goal was to offer a tank mixer that was nothing like the others out there on the market. We wanted something robust and would last for years. But it’s also important they could increase torque and perform with lower RPM speeds, which is the exact demand on our motor. When pairing a DC motor with a gearbox, it slows the shaft speeds down and increases its torque output. This reduction is controlled by the gear reductions and anything lost in the gearing.
## **Direct Current Motors (DC Motors)**
DC stands for direct current, and AC is alternating current, which is the two most common motor styles. DC motors, in general, have a low torque unless paired with a gearbox, which we accomplish with our EvenMix® motors. Allowing better torque with less power. This makes our motors energy efficient too!
Gear motors provide DC motors more power. They are used in Cranes as well as clocks and our EvenMix® pail, tote and [drum mixers](https://evenmix.com/55-gallon-drum-mixer/). A great example of this is inside a clock. The gears of a clock need to slow the speed of the motor down with a series of larger gears. Similar in crane operation. A series of gears slow down the motor and increases the torque; allowing the crane to pick up weighty objects without breaking. It increases the crane’s torque and decreases its speed.
Our motor system is lightweight as well. As we expect people to move it from the tank to tank, we didn’t want to produce a mixer that is cumbersome and difficult to handle. That’s why keeping it lightweight and easy to move for just about anyone was essential to us.
Our mixer system weighs just 12 lbs including all the gears and everything inside. It’s made for a wide range of speed and [torque](https://www.khanacademy.org/science/physics/torque-angular-momentum/torque-tutorial/a/torque) and is very dependable. Our goal was to make a mixing motor that would produce the best results on the market. EvenMix® mixers are a tank mixer like no other tank mixer on the market. With a patented design mixing blade in combination with this fantastic DC motor system, you cannot go wrong with EvenMix®. Take a look at our videos, and see for yourself the power of EvenMix®.

### [EvenMix® Mixers Use Our Newly PATENTED Technology!](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-mixers-use-newly-patented-technology/)
**Published:** January 26, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
EvenMix® Patents
Even Mix doesn’t just make mixers that are highly efficient and have a number of applications – our mixers also use patented technology! Yes, you read that right. At the end of 2017, we officially received a **U.S. patent on our proprietary mixing technology.**
### **What the Process Entailed**
We originally filed the patent paperwork back in 2013. It was a lengthy process that involved describing what our mixers looked like and how they worked. The main point wasn’t just to illustrate their usefulness, but also what made them special and deserving of a patent. We had to submit diagrams of each part. As you can see, once everything was submitted, there was a four-year wait for approval. **All of that waiting paid off on December 26, 2017, when the patent was approved.** We always knew that our mixers were special, and now we have legal proof that they are.
EvenMix® Patented Mixing Blade
**What Makes EvenMix® Special**
The two main parts of the patent application are the design itself. One focuses on a physical description, which points out the angles of the mixing blades and how they rotate. The other section of the application makes it clear that this technology was adapted, in a way, from the aerospace turban power industry. How [EvenMix® blades](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-anti-contamination-folding-mixer/) turn makes this evident. However, although we were inspired by that aerospace technology, our mixers are unique enough to deserve their own patents. There also was a testing phase, in which we illustrated the many different compounds and materials that the EvenMix® Agitation System could handle. These include everything from corn gluten to soybean oil and glycerin, and of course, water. This proved that our mixers could handle a diverse amount of liquids.
**What Does This Mean For Us?**
In short, it means that we can continue innovating. Now that we’ve been through the patent process and know what it entails, we won’t be in for any surprises the next time we go to patent one of our new creations (whenever that occurs.) It also means that our clients can rest assured knowing that they are officially purchasing and using patented technology every time they buy or connect one of our mixers. Whether they prefer to use a drum mixer, an IBC tote mixer, or a pail mixer, they know that they chose to utilize patented technology. Why don’t you give it a try?

**Content:**
## Using the EvenMix® Tote Mixer for Adhesives & Sealants
When it comes to mixing adhesives and sealants, you need powerful technology that can achieve a cohesive mix. Failure to employ the correct mixing can result in materials that are improperly combined, [full of air](https://www.aiche.org/sites/default/files/cep/20150835.pdf), and inconsistent.
We all know how important it is to achieve the perfect mix and that’s exactly what you’ll get when you use the revolutionary [EvenMix® Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/tote-mixer/) to mix your adhesives and sealants.
## **Mixing Adhesives and Sealants**
Tote Mixer for Adhesives & Sealants
Anyone who’s ever tried to mix an adhesive, sealant or any other high viscosity material knows that it’s a difficult process due to the thickness. And it’s vital that you achieve the perfect mix or else the product won’t work properly, and you won’t achieve the correct proportions of the ingredients.
The last thing you want to do is waste a lot of time, money, and resources on a mixture only to not be able to mix it correctly and have the product be unusable. This is why when you’re mixing high viscosity ingredients you need the proper mixing technology to get the job done right.
## **How the EvenMix® Tote Mixer Works**
[EvenMix®’s patented IBC tote mixer technology](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-ibc-tote-mixing-blade-a-revolutionary-new-product/) has the ability to perfectly mix even the heaviest of materials. This mixing blade is revolutionary in design, featuring heavy-duty power in a low weight design.

### [Mixing in Stainless Steel Totes](https://evenmix.com/mixing-in-stainless-steel-totes/)
**Published:** April 10, 2021
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
Stainless steel totes are some of the most common types in a myriad of industries. However, they are most common in the food and beverage industry, where they are used to make everything from cheese to curd and wine. In many ways, the widespread use of steel totes has over the past 50 years replaced other types of metal and wooden totes.
Perhaps the biggest selling point for a stainless-steel IBC is the fact that it is noncorrosive. Made usually from [300 series stainless](https://www.pennstainless.com/resources/product-information/stainless-grades/300-series/), they can withstand just about any amount of vigorous mixing. Plus, stainless stress in general, including the 316, is considered the gold standard for food-grade stainless steel, does not react with various natural chemicals like citric acid. It also does not contribute unnecessarily to various processes, making it highly suitable in various industries.
## Types of Stainless Steel IBC Totes and Product
Stainless steel construction mixing tanks and IBC totes are a huge part of most industrial processes today. However, there are various types of IBC [totes and mixing tanks](https://evenmix.com/mixing-farm-chemicals-with-a-tote-mixer/). Each bulk container or product is meant for a particular type of use case, which makes choosing the right one important.
### The 316 Stainless Steel Tanks
Steel tanks are a big part of many industries, and strength is certainly a major part of it. The 316, Tank, is arguably the best for most industrial purposes. The tank is built to be resilient against all known chemicals with excellent anti-corrosive properties.
These units’ safety can be further reinforced if needed using a welding process, which can help maintain the unit’s creep strength for years. It is the perfect container to heat oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, and various other industrial chemicals and mixes them.
Perhaps the best feature of these 316 storage tanks and totes is that they are designed for industrial use, thanks to their anti-corrosive properties. They can be used in highly saline environments like across coastal regions and outdoor areas where de-icing salts are very common. Furthermore, these totes are available in various diameter, dimensions, shapes, and sizes.
### The 304 Stainless Steel Tanks
The 304 tanks are highly popular across the world. Manufactured primarily from nickel mixed with chromium, it is designed mainly to store hazardous, often organic chemicals for industrial use. 304 steel is popular because it is resistant to corrosion and is easily ready for transportation when needed. Interestingly 304 stainless steel storage tanks have very similar properties to 316 steel, which to is impervious to a chemical reaction. Though the difference with 304 is that the storage tanks are far less electronically and thermally conductive while being non-magnetic.
### Carbon Steel Tote Tanks
While stainless steel totes are highly popular as we speak, carbon steel storage tanks are worth mentioning here too. At the same time, they aren’t as popular but cost less and are excellent for storing chemicals. The tanks don’t have a shiny finish which is what continues to fuel their popularity.
Carbon steel totes and IBCs are excellent for noncorrosive environments. They can easily store combustible liquids, making them ideal for industries like oil and gas, aviation, and the manufacture of dyes, amongst other products.
### Nickel Alloy Steel IBCs
Nickel alloy steel storage tanks are great for chemical storage, are extremely corrosion resistant, and comparatively lightweight, making them easy to transport. The high performance and strength of these containers mean that they meet all industrial requirements when it comes to storing chemicals safely.
## 
## How Do Tote Mixers Play a Part?
Almost every tank will at some point be used to mix chemicals, various ingredients, etc. In fact, mixing is the most fundamental of the industrial process. Regular SS tote mixers mainly leave it to customers to choose their own mixing equipment, and that’s what makes the process so complex. Usually, the tote mixers require multiple people to handle, especially for [mixing in large tanks](https://evenmix.com/mixing-in-large-tanks/). Then there is also the fact that how do you handle mixing in a tank which does not easily accommodate every size mixer?
EvenMix® solves just about every problem mentioned above, answers all questions, and more. It is available with various flexible attachments, i.e., Tri-Clamp fitting, drum lid, flange fittings, and NPT fittings. That means regardless of the stainless steel tank you have, i.e., its size, shape, and weight, mounting the mixer is easier. Furthermore, EvenMix® does an excellent job of delivering a consistent mix across all materials and applications regardless of their type. That’s why it is the ideal tote or [IBC mixer](https://evenmix.com/tote-mixer/) regardless of industry type and its requirements.

## About EvenMix®
Since 2012, EvenMix® has been operating. They also offer Metal Prototyping and Stamping, with facilities to cut, bend, weld, machine, and paint metals in the same building. Innovation and success aren’t new to EvenMix®, and the Electric Drive is another illustration of their creativity. Founded in 2012, the company has grown 100% annually since then, winning prestigious awards, including the Weatherhead 100 Growth Award in Cleveland.
As the premier company for pump technology and variable pitch blades, EvenMix® is perhaps best known for its use of aerospace engineering to bring true mixing technology to drums. When installing and using the mixing blades at the bottom, there is no need for a pin. Therefore, linear drums as well as plastic drums can be used.
### Purpose of EvenMix®
Since the beginning, EvenMix® has been making the process of mixing solutions as convenient for our customers as possible. A 150:1 gear reduction and 135 RPM make the [Digital Drive for Mixing in Totes](https://evenmix.com/tote-mixer/), both powerful and easy to use. One person will be enough to complete the job without a forklift. The Mixed Flow Blades are designed to ensure that materials are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. As soon as mixing begins, the blades expand outward as they fold inward. Comparatively to any other mixing blade, the blades’ variable pitch stands out. This product is strong and efficient thanks to its NASA engineer. A 3D mix is created by pumping the mixture in multiple directions.
## Development of the Digital Drive For Mixing
According to EvenMix®, their digital drive technology was developed after noticing some drawbacks associated with many mixers on the market. Mixers in IBCs and Drums were notorious for consuming a lot of energy, being very heavy, and having subpar mixing performance. In addition, the company’s engineers addressed a number of other issues, the most significant of which were noted previously.
President of EvenMix® ([Phil Rankin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/philerankin)) publicly announced how much they are dedicated to working to resolve problems in the industry. They have worked extensively to solve these problems by developing innovative technology and adhering to our core values. Their extensive testing has allowed them to manufacture the perfect drive with the most efficient mixing capabilities. Every feature of the Electric Digital Geared Drive has been developed with a purpose. They strive to make sure that everything they do at EvenMix® has a customer benefit at its core.
## Digital Drive Design
Simple yet highly reliable, the drive’s design is straightforward. It is possible to change the speed from 1 to 20, giving you greater control than ever before. Using the mixer’s ‘+’ and ‘-‘ buttons, you can change the speed easily.
A simplification of design and reliability make the drive appropriate for tough conditions. There are 20 levels of variable speed control, giving users more control. The plus and minus buttons can be used to adjust these speeds. An option on the digital panel allows for gradual accelerating of mixing, a useful feature. This digital gear drive is dust- and water-resistant, unlike other electric drives. So, you will never have to worry about mixing in adverse conditions.
## Drum Mixing with Digital Drive Use
Putting our customers at ease has always been our mission. A 150:1 [gear reduction](https://science.howstuffworks.com/transport/engines-equipment/gear-ratio.htm) and 135 RPM make this Digital Drive powerful yet easy to use. The job can be completed by one person without a forklift. Using the Mixed Flow Blades ensures that materials are distributed evenly throughout the mixture. After they are folded inward, the blades extend out into the mixing container once the mixing is underway. Unlike any other mixing blade, the blades of this mixture have variable pitch. They were designed by NASA engineers to be strong and efficient. A 3D mix is created when many directions of the mixture are pumped simultaneously.

### [EvenMix® Paired with Smart Plug](https://evenmix.com/digital-drive-paired-with-smart-plug/)
**Published:** September 20, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
The product line of EvenMix® mixers is simple to use, lightweight and robust. We built our mixing system to be sturdy enough to handle the most challenging mixing scenarios while remaining lightweight enough for one person to accomplish the job. Most mixers on the market today are heavy, hard to move around, and awkward. Not to mention they are not very economical or affordable. We saw a unique need in the industrial mixer world, which shows with the EvenMix® Mixer products.
You will no longer need a forklift to move around your mixer, saving time and money. However, what if we told you we took our technology one step further?
The EvenMix® Mixer systems are durable, efficient, and dependable. Its award-winning design is the most efficient in its category.
EvenMix® Mixers has a powder coat epoxy over its stainless steel shaft. This ensures that they are constructed to sustain [800 lbs of force](https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/newtlaws/Lesson-2/The-Meaning-of-Force). It is applied to the EvenMix® Mixer. We have literally thought of it all. But, yet, there is one more feature we saw a need for, remote start. Let’s take a closer look at how awesome EvenMix® mixers are and how remote start can be added.
## **The Evenness of the Mixer**
The [EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-electric-ibc-mixer/) is intended to distribute materials evenly across containers. The design and shape of the Mixed Flow Blades are distinctive and patented. They fold to fit through the 6″ hole while unfolding to distribute the contents inside uniformly.
Our IBC Mixer, for example, has a considerably bigger blade that performs admirably, especially given that it enters through a 6-inch small hole.
You can use one or two places for our 55-gallon drum mixers. This allows you more control of your mixing. When the second mixing blade is put to the shaft’s midsection, it is inverted compared to the bottom blade. The bottom blade raises as the top blade lowers. This unique and patented blade design gives EvenMix® its even mixing power.
We wanted a mixer that would evenly mix in whatever container we used. That’s why we called our mixer “EvenMix®.” While we have accomplished this task, we have gone ahead and added even more features.
## **EvenMix®er with Electric Power**
Our electric motor is powered by a [110-volt three-prong plug](https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-difference-between-a-110-outlet-and-a-120-outlet). As a result, many of our clients find it simple to use this mixing style. These are the very same plugs you find in your home or business. It normally only uses about 2 amps, similar to a low-speed ceiling fan. However, it can take up to 4 amps.
As you can see, the EvenMix® mixer takes very little power to run. This means that it is much more economical than many of the other mixers on the market. We understand that every penny counts to the bottom line, and that’s why we set up to create a mixer that was not only low cost to purchase but also to run.
## **What we Set Out to Do**
EvenMix®’s mission was to provide our customers with an economical, transportable, and accurate mixer. There are applications that don’t require this precision. We understand that. However, many applications do, and that was our focus. Our mixers are designed and intended to be used in various industrial applications. To ensure there is something for everyone, we have decided to create two distinct types of motors.
We saw that the industry needed a mixer that could do everything, not just one thing. The EvenMix® is designed to handle both [IBC and drum mixing functions](https://evenmix.com/shop/) effortlessly and precisely. It is entirely up to you to decide what to use for your EvenMix®. However, there are several distinctions that you should be aware of.
Electricity, because it is pure, does not cause the same issues as air. The speed ranges from 40 to 150 rpm, and you’ll have better control over the variations of the mixer with electric versus pneumatic. The unit’s speed can be set directly on the digital screen and functions in four modes. Electric units will be quite precise, which is critical in some circumstances. This is less important in other circumstances, and the air-powered mixer makes more sense.
## **Remote Start and Set up**
A new feature we have been developing in the remote start and set up. You can now also start and set your mixer using a smart plug. A smart plug is a device that you plug in and then plug in your mixer. This will be controlled over wifi and an app on your phone. There is no longer a need to ensure there is an operator at the mixer at all times. The specific one that we would recommend would be the Kasa Outdoor plug. This plug is very robust, much like the EvenMix® mixer. It can handle the dust and debris that is often found around our mixers. The best part is that you can set up your mixer remotely, and it will go through its pre-operation check and countdown before mixing.
While we set out to think of everything, and we thought we did! There was one piece of the puzzle missing, and that was this smart plug. The smart plug can change everything.
## **Conclusion**
EvenMix® Mixers are some of the very best offered on the market today. However, our engineers are always looking at ways to improve the mixers and offer more functionality when possible. We believe that we have accomplished just that with the combination of our mixers and the Kasa plug. If you are in the market for an industrial mixer that does it all, even when you are not in the building, you need to check out this amazing combination.
We work with our clients to come up with the best setup for your operation. We offer different types of mixers, sizes, and electric verse pneumatic to ensure we have something for everyone. Call today.

### [IBC Bridge](https://evenmix.com/using-ibc-bridge/)
**Published:** October 18, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Although an IBC Bridge is not always required, there are two key advantages to using this device.
To begin, the IBC bridge allows you to view and observe what you’re mixing while it’s being mixed. Every IBC is translucent, making it difficult to see what’s happening inside. The 6″ aperture at the top of the IBC bridge allows you to view exactly what is going on inside.
The second key advantage is adding ingredients and taking samples while mixing. The bridge allows you to add extra liquids, solids, and powders or take samples while mixing. For example, you may begin combining with a basic component like water and then gradually put more ingredients down the 6-inch hole while mixing.
Our customers have greatly enjoyed the [EvenMix® IBC bridge](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-ibc-tote-bridge/) for both of these advantages. The bridge, like everything else we do, can be transported from tote to total, is easy to manipulate, and is lightweight. If you have any questions concerning the bridge or EvenMix®, please give us a call! We’d be happy to assist you!
## **What is the EvenMix® IBC Bridge?**
The EvenMix® IBC Tote Bridge is compatible with all common IBC Tote sizes. It is strong and lets you see your mixture and add material while it is mixing. It includes two strong handles that can be attached to the IBC cage for a secure mix. This bridge attaches to the IBC cage and maintains the level of your mixer regardless of how wavy the IBC bottle has grown. Your operators will appreciate the design’s adaptability and lightweight.
## **EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer**

While other companies in the mixing and mixing blade products sector may claim that their blades are the most efficient at mixing pharmaceuticals, chemicals, food, paints, and other materials.
When creating new mixing blades and other mixing items, our management team prioritizes quality and handling first and foremost. So, of course, we considered and put out those ideas and efforts when designing our IBC tote mixer. We utilized unique technology that only you’ll find in the EvenMix® mixer. This technology can only be found here! That’s right. We are ahead of the competition in many ways with our EvenMix® drum mixer.
## **More on EvenMix® Tote Mixer**
With the EvenMix® flow blade as part of the tote mixer’s design, liquids will be vertically mixed like never before. The contents of the IBC will be evenly mixed thanks to the proprietary technology we utilize for the IBC tote mixer. Why is this the case? Our mixed-flow blade has been created for mixing everything from chemicals to food and incorporates NASA-based innovation for optimum mixing performance. It is, indeed, rocket science!
While the EvenMix® IBC tote mixer will not take you into space, it does boast power. Other heavy-duty features of this mixing blade include total flexibility and a 6/10 HP air motor. The motor of this IBC tote mixer can be changed from tote to tote for the operator, or the operator can use numerous EvenMix® tote mixers with a single motor. Our management team kept everyone’s mixing needs in mind when building this complex tool.
Furthermore, our IBC tote mixer is not only easy to operate, but it is also simple to install for inexperienced operators. The entire tote mixer equipment weighs only nine pounds and can be quickly installed in an IBC. All that is required of the operator is to insert the blade and screw in the IBC’s associated lid. Furthermore, our IBC tote mixer fits easily into a six-inch aperture of an IBC, allowing our newest mixing device to be used in even the smallest of openings. Unlike other mixing firms, the EvenMix® tote mixer does not require any additional gear.
## **More on the EvenMix® Mixing Capabilities**
If dependable performance is what you’re looking for, look no further. [The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-electric-ibc-mixer/) has been tested to 50,000 cps. For about 3 minutes, we mixed a sludge that had the consistency of mustard. This IBC had been sitting for over a year and was very settled. However, our powerful mixer was up for the challenge, and in only 3 minutes, everything was mixed consistently. Bring it on. We’ll shake it up!
Whatever vertical mixing you need to be done, EvenMix® has you covered. Our patented blad design will blow other mixers out of the water.

Many mixer users have been looking for the ideal tank mixer to meet all of their needs. However, many of today’s typical tank mixers are known to be heavy, inefficient, and/or expensive. With our unique approach, EvenMix® is redefining the game.
## Problems with IBC Tank Mixers
Tank mixers, are ubiquitous liquid distribution containers. However, the product line for any individual brand, or even the entire sector, is quite different. However, there are several concerns that are frequently linked with tank mixers in general, one of which is inefficient impellers or a mixing blade that is insufficient. Some critical tank mixer characteristics, for example, may be compromised on low-cost models. Then there’s the fact that these mixers are quite heavy, weighing up to 30-100 pounds.
The other, the maybe most common, issue with many tank mixers is that they don’t seem to mix various liquids, as well as they should. When it comes to mixing, it is generally a two-person job, which is a strain on a company’s resources. Fortunately, a new generation of tote mixers, spearheaded by brands like ours, such as EvenMix®, is changing the game.
We created a tank mixer or drum mixer that connects to open containers of all shapes and sizes. Our strong engineering guarantees consumers long-term quality and high-powered execution. We take pride in creating lightweight mixers and drives that require less exertion to operate than competitors. With the assistance of a NASA Engineer, we were able to perfect our mixing technology and deliver the finest mixing experience to our customers. We know you will simply agree once you see our mixers in action. Call 404-236-6677 today to get started.
## Bridge Design Improvements
Our Bridge, which is used to hold the mixer, is designed to allow the mixer to sit comfortably on any IBC. It was created to keep the mixer in place over open-topped IBCs. Our bridge was built to be lightweight, so much so that it can be moved by one person without using a forklift. It has a solid build meant to survive for years, much like our EvenMix® mixer. We created it with our customers and how they would use it in mind. It will undoubtedly function with a wide range of IBCs.
EvenMix® Mixers are constantly working to improve design and quality. We anticipate that these new enhancements will be a huge success.
## Why Choose EvenMix®
It won’t be easy to find a drum mixer, IBC tote mixer, or Industrial Mixer that can compete with EvenMix®. A former NASA engineer works on our research and development team. This means we have some of the best features for EvenMix®. This ensures that our customers receive the greatest mixer on the market. We understand that you have probably heard some of this from our competitors. But rest assured, we have thought of everything. We wanted to focus on this particular product and give it our very best to ensure our customers get all the features they need. Our mixers are lightweight and powerful, come in electric and pneumatic, and offer various options due to the interchangeable components. The best part about EvenMix® is the patented blades that mix in a way that creates a 3d mix with just about any type of liquid.
Our goal is to make every one of our goods as light as possible. At the same time, we aim to retain a high degree of performance. Our EvenMix® mixers are built to last and consume as little energy as possible.
## EvenMix® is Both Lightweight and Long-Lasting
Other mixers are massive. In reality, the majority weigh between 25 and 100 pounds. This meant that the operators would have to hire a forklift to transport them. EvenMix® Mixers, on the other hand, weigh only 9-12 lbs due to improved engineering. This simplifies things for our employees and helps to avoid potential safety risks.
Sure, our electric motors are among the best and most efficient on the market but consider our pneumatic motors, which utilize approximately 13CFM. Most other mixers on the market will use 30 CFM. This power generation is equivalent to electric 30 NM. However, our competitors’ power generation is only equivalent to 20 NM. Although just one-third of the energy was used, the torque produced was raised by half. Isn’t it extraordinary? That is what occurs when you have a strong team of engineers on your side.

### [Proper Care for EvenMix® Air Motors](https://evenmix.com/proper-care-for-even-mix-air-motors/)
**Published:** November 12, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Like all of the other machinery in your factory, warehouse, or farm, your air motors need to be properly maintained. The process of caring for your air motors is much less complicated than it seems, as long as you’re aware of the specifications and standards required.
***We’ll break them down for you here.***
**Lubricating Your Air Motor**
In order for your air motor to perform optimally, it needs to be lubricated. Make sure to use single-point lubricators that are of the injection type. The others – oil mist or drip types – won’t do the job properly. Ideally, you should set your injection type lubricator so that every fifth cycle, it provides one drop of oil. No more and no less, otherwise, you might over or under lubricate your air motor.
On top of this, you need to use a good quality oil. We highly suggest using Peeroyl R-42 Air Line Oil, however, any type that is specifically designed for pneumatic tools will work. Don’t use any other types of oil, as they can damage the air motor. For example, you need to avoid the ones that contain things like anti-gumming or cleaning agents. These two can negatively affect the rubber components, such as the O-rings, in the motor. Once the rubber components have been damaged, the air motor will malfunction.
**Flow Rating**
Your air motor should have air that’s supplied through what’s known as an FRL. This stands for Filter/Regulator/Lubricator. We recommend that you use an NPT FRL that’s ¾ of an inch. Anything else will not give the nutrunnerthe necessary pressure drop that it needs in order to reach the rated amount of torque.
**Air Pressure Requirements**
On top of proper lubrication, you also need to use clean air at the proper PSI (pound-force per square inch, for the record) when running your air motor. This air should be regulated at either 85 or 90 PSI. (This translates to 5.8 to 6.1 bar.) Don’t allow the air pressure to get past 105 PSI or 7.1 bar. Running the motor with too much pressure can damage it.
If you have any questions about how to properly care for your *[EvenMix®](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-air-geared-motor/)*[ air motor](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-air-geared-motor/), please let us know. We’re available to answer other questions as well, including which mixers will best meet your needs. You can reach us at (440) 236-6677 or via the [contact form](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/) on our website.

### [Pail Mixer - How You Can Mix Better](https://evenmix.com/pail-mixer-how-you-can-mix-better/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Lately, it seems like we’ve only been talking about drum mixers and their accessories. While mixing is our business, don’t think we’ve forgotten about an equally important piece of equipment: [the pail mixer](https://evenmix.com/pail-mixers/). This isn’t something children would play with on the beach (with a mixing blade being present and all), but it is a specific piece of mixing equipment that the EvenMix® team has yet again been able to develop into an advanced tool to better your mixing needs.
The type of pail meant for building sandcastles is nowhere near the size of the pails that use [EvenMix®’s Pail Mixer](https://evenmix.com/pail-mixers/). Don’t be too disappointed; these mixers can handle whatever material you throw into them.
Materials come in a variety of viscosities. Whether the material you’re placing into a pail is considered a light material or a heavy material, you won’t have to switch between pails anymore. Our mixing blades for pails can mix compounds, slurries, and aggregates quickly. With less time spent mixing, you won’t have to worry about the process and can spend more time delivering those compounds, slurries, and aggregates. Plus, the quicker mixing time means you don’t have to move your material around any longer while in the pail. This is because of the developments our team has been working on.
At EvenMix®, while we feel if something isn’t broken, it doesn’t need to be fixed, we also feel that even the most regular and routine processes can be improved upon. Which is why we created our patent-pending mix flow technology. The mix flow blade is the blade to use for both five-gallon and 10-gallon pails. The mix flow blade has a variable pitch blade at a 30-degree angle. Because of being designed at such an angle, our mix flow blade can pump light and heavy materials both vertically *and* horizontally while in the pail.
##### Unique The EvenMix® Pail Mixer Blade
Other [pail mixers have been designed to mix](https://evenmix.com/mixing-farm-chemicals-with-a-tote-mixer/) either light or heavy materials, not necessarily both. The EvenMix® pail mixer blade has been designed to stop the need to switch from one mixing blade to another. Plus, it has been engineered to withstand 800 inch pounds of force upon it, making it a sturdy blade that is suited for home and construction projects. What more could you ask for in a mixing blade?
[Contact us](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/) today for more information on any of our mixing equipment or to purchase our pail mixer blade.
If this post isn’t enough to convince you to try our blade in your pail mixer, you can even check out head-to-head comparison with other mixing blades currently on the market on our [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lroAFlM1mDQ).

###### Mix With Our Mixers
The short, non-complicated answer to the question is – practically anything. EvenMix® mixers: IBC Tote Mixers, Pail Mixers, and Drum Mixers are designed to mix a number of different materials smoothly and evenly, which saves you both time and money.
##### [IBC Tote Mixers](https://evenmix.com/ibc-mixers-after-market/)
Our IBC Tote Mixers are designed for heavy duty projects. They fit into a square tote, and the blades move around in order to get everything from every corner of the tote – this means that you won’t have any wasted unmixed product left behind. Even though the IBC Tote Mixers are heavy duty, they are also lightweight (they weigh nine pounds) making them easy to move from tote to tote quickly and easily. Each of our tote mixers can handle up to 50,000 cps, and the blades can turn at 350 horsepower. These are also designed to separate – the motor and the blades are two different units, meaning that you don’t have to worry about cross contamination.
##### [Pail Mixers](https://evenmix.com/pail-mixers/)
We manufacture and sell two different versions of our popular Pail Mixers – regular duty and super duty. These models fit into five and ten gallon pails and can handle up to 800 pounds of force. Their blades are also powder coated to prevent whatever it is that you’re mixing from sticking to them. This makes clean up easy and keeps you from losing a little bit of product each time. On top of this, thanks to our two different models (regular duty can handle light aggregates, liquids and slurries, while super duty can take on heavy aggregates and everything that the regular model can) there isn’t much that you won’t be able to mix with one of our Pail Mixers.
##### [Drum Mixers](https://evenmix.com/55-gallon-drum-mixer/)
Last but far from least are our Drum Mixers. These models work in drums of all sizes, from 1 gallon all of the way up to 55 gallons. We recommend them for everything from powdered materials to viscous ones, including slurries that are as thick as your average jarred peanut butter. Thanks to the strategically placed mixing blades and sturdy air motor, our Drum Mixers can take on sand (imagine having to mix multicolored varieties), and even various liquids. Plus, this model is designed to fit entirely in the drum, preventing a gigantic mess from occurring before it happens.
As you can see, you can mix just about everything with our mixers. Are you ready to put them to the test?

# **Things That Can Be Mixed With Our Mixers**
The mixing devices that we produce at EvenMix® are very versatile. We’ve discussed some of the things that you can mix with them, including [fertilizers](https://www.liqui-grow.com/farm-journal/) and animal feed. However, there are some other things that our clients combine with our [IBC mixers](https://evenmix.com/), [pail mixers](https://evenmix.com/pail-mixers/), polymer tote mixer, and drum mixers. Here are five of them.
## **Top 5 Things That Can Be Mixed**
### **Paint**
If you need to mix large amounts of paint – that is, more than a gallon at a time for commercial purposes – then one of our mixers will meet your needs. For example, if you have a five or ten-gallon pail of paint, then our regular duty pail mixer works nicely. This one is designed for [light aggregates](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/lightweight-aggregate), slurries, and most importantly, liquids. It will thoroughly mix your paint.
### **Adhesives**
###
There are some commercial applications for adhesives. These range from construction projects, where large amounts of tile adhesive need to be combined at once, to some of the processes involved in creating rubber and other polymers. Our mixers are designed to handle up to 800-inch pounds of force meaning that they can take on even the toughest batch of liquid adhesive.
Polymer Tote Mixer
### **Slurries**
Slurries are loosely defined as any mixture that consists of small hard particles of a pulverized solid that are combined with a liquid. Concrete is one of the best examples, although there are many other types of slurries. If you plan on combining slurries, any one of our mixers will suffice. It all depends on what type of container your mixture is in.
### **Cosmetics**
Yes, even batches of cosmetics need to be properly mixed. Many of them start out in liquid form before they are molded. Lipsticks, foundations, and even eyeliners are made this way, although the latter two tend to stay in their original liquid formats. Our [IBC tote mixers](https://evenmix.com/) are lightweight and reliable. They can mix your batches of cosmetics quickly and easily.
### **Water Treatment Chemicals**
Water treatment plants need a particular chemical mixture to function properly. The exact mixture of chemicals depends on the water conditions, so they are often custom mixes of chemicals that are measured and combined on the spot. Our mixers are great for this purpose, particularly our pinless drum mixers. We have both single and double blade varieties, thus ensuring that none of the chemicals will be leftover at the bottom of the drum.

### [Mixing Corn Gluten Is Easy With Our IBC Mixer](https://evenmix.com/mixing-corn-gluten-is-easy-with-our-ibc-mixer/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
The IBC Mixer by EvenMix® is the latest innovation in the mixing market. With our unique mixed-flow blade, we offer superior mixing performance with a lightweight blade that mixes at low speeds and doesn’t introduce air into your product.
Nearly all mixers in the market today are heavy, requiring additional equipment like forklifts for installation, and don’t mix the entire IBC only a small portion since they only mix vertically. Our engineering team, led by Dan, a former NASA scientist, created EvenMix®, a lightweight, easy to operate mixing system. ***You can install it easily with one person, get it up and running in minutes, and mix a large container– the entire container!***
Today’s challenging organic fertilizer industry requires an advanced mixing systems – organic fertilizers are stored in 275 or 330 gallon IBC, or intermediate bulk containers, for a long time, sometimes over a year before use. They need to mix and keep solids prone to clumping in mixed in water.
Recently, we visited [Good Nature Organic Lawn Care](https://whygoodnature.com) to test the EvenMix® IBC Mixer. This video will show you how easy it is to mix heavy solutions with EvenMix®.
Mixing corn gluten is not easy, especially when it has settled for more than a year. As you can see, the corn gluten inside of the IBC is very thick. It flows from the IBC but has a consistency of approximately 50,000 centipoise. This is not currently a liquid that you can pump through a sprayer.
IBC Tote Mixing Blade
###### [EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/ibc-mixers-after-market/)
In the video, you will be seeing that our product development engineer, Paul, installs the EvenMix® IBC mixer. See how easy it is for him to carry the mixer. The corn gluten is settled to the point that he has to push the mixer in for full installation.
Secure the mixer and screw it onto your IBC. It fits both 275 and 330 gallon IBC’s.
Install the air hose with from 30 to 90 psi and 26 CFM. At 90 psi and 26 CFM it will mix at 220 RPM. You can slow the air motor by reducing pressure to nearly 40 RPM. The EvenMix® will mix at very low speeds.
You can see the consistency of the corn gluten after mixing is complete (about 5 minutes later). The corn gluten granules are thoroughly mixed with the water and the mixture flows freely. What a difference!
***The IBC Mixer by EvenMix® can mix your toughest solutions with a lightweight, easy to use motor at low speeds without introducing air into your product.***
If reliable performance is something that you’re searching for, look no further. Bring it on, we can mix it! For more info please visit evenmix.com and see how we design and manufacture mixers with skilled labor in the US to solve your problems.

### [EvenMix® Patented Design](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-patented-design/)
**Published:** January 2, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
EvenMix® Patented Design
The EvenMix® is designed by applying fluid mechanic principles and equations used in the aerospace turban power industries. The EvenMix® mechanical and strength properties are designed applying design principles and equations using Mix Patented Design.
The EvenMix® is designed by applying fluid mechanic principles and equations used in the aerospace turban power industries. The EvenMix® mechanical and strength properties are designed applying design principles and equations used in the aerospace industry to produce strong, robust and lightweight systems. EvenMix® design objectives are to provide an efficient mixing system that will produce a fluid velocity profile active throughout the fluid container, with nearly equal velocity components in all three axis: axis, radial and circumferential.
The vertical velocity component of a rotating fixed angle element varies from near zero at the rotation center to a high velocity at the element tip and is dependent on the rotational speed. The vertical velocity depends on the angle of the blade perpendicular to the direction of rotation. By producing a continuously variable pitch angle the velocity vector can be developed that is nearly constant from hub to tip. Adding the horizontal component to the vertical component the velocity vector is pitched toward the top and bottom of the container. The radial component further effects the angle of the velocity vector toward the outside of the container. This results in a tilted figure eight circulating vector moving fluid from the bottom to the top of the container with the node of the figure eight at the center of the rotation resulting in efficient mixing at low RPM. The last influence on the mixing vector is drag. In most of the fixed pitch designs the drag is the dominant factor proving predominantly circumferential circulation producing low efficiency mixing.
The EvenMix® drag coefficient is ½ to 1/3 that of most fixed angle mixing blades. The EvenMix® drag component causes the figure eight velocity vector to rotate around the axis: resulting in very efficient even mixing throughout the fluid container. In addition to the force required to drive the mixing blade is proportional to the drag coefficient and the velocity squared. The low drag means that even mix requires ½ to 1/3 the torque to mix at the same RPM. In addition to low RPM, mixing requires substantially less power. If the RPM is reduced by ½, the mixer with same blade drag will require only ¼ the power. In addition, low mixing torque produces lower stress on the mixing blade allowing for a lighter blade.
##### The EvenMix® Mechanical Design
The EvenMix® mechanical design is developed using aerospace design criteria which are used to produce very strong, robust, lightweight structures that are required for aerospace applications. The EvenMix® blade is a cantilever structure with zero bending stress at the tip of the blade to maximum bending stress at the blade root where it attaches to the drive shaft. Structural features are used to add strength. As the blade load increases from tip to root, the point at which the design stress is reached strengthening ribs are added for an increased strength and stiffness. The strength is proportional to the cube of the height of the feature. If a strengthening feature height is three times the blade thickness, the added strength is 3x3x3=27 times the strength of the blade material thickness.
Likewise the leading edge of the blade is bend in the direction of rotation producing smooth fluid flow and minimizing turbulence which reduced drag. The trailing edge is also bent along the exiting flow path from the EvenMix® blade providing a smooth flow transmission and reducing drag. In addition to providing smooth fluid flow and low drag, the projection of the bend at right angle to the even mix blade body also adds strength proportional to the cube of the height, that is three times the height increase the strengths by a factor of 27. The strengthening ribs are carried to the drive shaft and the blade is welded to the high strength shaft. Providing a strong, robust, lightweight system.
The low drag, lightweight robust even mix blade design permits the EvenMix® to mix the fluids of the same viscosity and density at the same speed at ½ to 1/3 of the power of the current systems. This allows for the design of a lightweight mixing/agitation system. The EvenMix® Mix Pneumatic system with speed control weight slightly less than 10 pound and the electric drive system. With variable speed thermal and current weights 11 ½ pound.
Extensive development testing was carried out using water, soy bean oil and glycerin with viscosities, ranging from zero to 1000 cp proof. Testing has also been done using corn syrup 5000 cp viscosity, and corn gluten water mixture where the water had separated leaving an IBC 80 percent full of a peanut butter like compound with about 4 inch of water resting on top. Within 15 minutes the air driven even mix system uniformly mixed the contents of the IBC from a thick paste to a pourable high viscosity liquid ready for application.
[The EvenMix® agitation system](https://evenmix.com/ibc-mixers-after-market/) utilizes high speed air motors and high speed brushless air motors coupled with high efficiency planetary gear system to produce a lightweight high efficiency agitation system. The EvenMix® system with The EvenMix® patented design provides efficient mixing over a wide range of viscosities and densities at low power with a low weight system which can be handled early by one person.

### [The Benefits of Our Clean Top Accessory](https://evenmix.com/the-benefits-of-our-clean-top-accessory/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
No matter what drum mixers are mixing — whether it is paint, a chemical, or something more delicious like a food product — all industries can agree that protecting the components being mixed is of the utmost importance. But if you aren’t taking advantage of the state-of-the-art mixing accessories on the market, then you could be risking your products for contamination during both shipping and mixing. Enter the EvenMix® Clean Top Accessory to solve any worries you may have.
Our EvenMix® **[Single Blade Drum Mixers](https://evenmix.com/single-blade/)** and **[Double Blade Drum Mixers](https://evenmix.com/double-blade/)** were pioneers when we first introduced them to the drum mixer industry. And as we continue to grow as an organization, we continue to bring more technological advances and developments to the trade. Which is exactly what we’ve done with this new mixing accessory we’ve constructed.
###### So what exactly does our Clean Top Accessory *do*?
To put it simply, it protects whatever the components of your drum or barrel may be — paint, drywall mud, or a food product, etc. — from contamination. We know, we know; that clearly isn’t enough information to tell you what the Clean Top does. Meant for in-drum mixers, the Clean Top is made of nylon, which makes it not react to paint or other chemicals. Plus, this accessory includes a cup designed to catch debris generated from contact between the shaft and motor socket. A rather ingenious mixing accessory, EvenMix® has a patent pending on the Clean Top. Can’t get enough about our Clean Top Accessory? Click **[here](https://evenmix.com/clean-top/)** for more info.
What makes this specific mixing accessory beneficial to your drum or barrel more so than other mixing accessories? Along with it being made from nylon so it won’t react to *any* components of a drum mixer, the Clean Top can protect any size drum or barrel from contamination. That includes contamination during both the shipping process and during the mixing process (but, you won’t need protection from contamination during mixing when you utilize one of the EvenMix® mixing blades in your drum or barrel). Another added benefit of this accessory is that it works well with all other EvenMix® products, but we’re not ones to brag.
No matter the size of the drum and no matter what you’re mixing, there is no longer a reason to stress about contaminating its contents with EvenMix® around. While some organizations may just look at in-drum mixers and mixing accessories as unexciting pieces of equipment needed for their lines of work, we look at them as pieces that can be developed to help you evenly mix whatever may be on the inside — all while providing you with progressive technology and tools to do so.

### [EvenMix® Pinless Mixing Blade Review](https://evenmix.com/pinless-blade-review/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
[Pinless mixing blade](https://evenmix.com/pinless-drum-mixers/) review is showed in the video below. We will be mixing mixing glycerin, an 1,100 centipoise liquid that is the same viscosity as most paints.
As you can see in the video, the mixing action is a result of the variable pitch EvenMix® blades which are designed to produce a vector that mixes liquids horizontally, vertically, and circumferentially. It works like a pump and cycles the liquid to every corner of the container. Please pay attention to the bottom and how it is cleaned in about 10 seconds and stays clean. The liquid keeps circulating through the drum without a large vortex.
###### No Static Charge
Next we review how a static charge would be dissipated. Up through the mixer through the motor and to the drum. Static charge is not an issue.
Finally, we will show you how the EvenMix® [pinless blade](https://evenmix.com/pinless-drum-mixers/) allows for the drum to flex under pressure or temperature changes. The EvenMix® has 3” clearance from the blade to the drum wall and 2” clearance from the rod to the bottom of the drum. The rod won’t buckle under pressure.
The EvenMix® [pinless mixing blade](https://evenmix.com/pinless-drum-mixers/) has been tested in thick liquids and continues to demonstrate great mixing performance, it dissipates static charge, and has the necessary clearance to avoid contact with the drum while mixing or under a variety of circumstances.

### [Mixing Basics: Fluid Mixer Configuring](https://evenmix.com/mixing-basics-fluid-mixer-configuring/)
**Published:** June 6, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Choosing the perfect industrial mixer for your needs involves weighing a number of factors. There are five of them to keep in mind, and each pertains to a different aspect of your mixing process. Let’s go through them one by one.
**Tank Type**
The very first thing to consider is the type of vessel that your unmixed fluids are in. Is it a tote? Or maybe you have your liquids stored in a drum or a pail? Each tank requires a specific mixer since the device needs to reach the bottom of it in order to mix everything thoroughly. The openings of each container are different as well.
**Volume**
Volume refers to the size of the container. We’ve briefly mentioned the tank type, but the size of that tank is important. Why? This is because the mixer needs to be powerful enough to handle a full tank while still reaching (and mixing) the liquid in every nook and cranny. Otherwise, you’ll end up with unmixed fluids at the bottom.
**Density**
Mixers don’t just spin around the inside of the container. They move up and down as well, in order to thoroughly combine the liquids in the tote, drum, or pail. This is where density comes in. How dense are your liquids? Are they similar to water? Or are they a bit denser? You need to choose a mixer that can handle the density of your materials.
**Viscosity**
How thick is the liquid that you’re mixing? Your chosen device must be powerful enough to tackle it without overheating or breaking down. Several of our models can handle compounds as viscous as peanut butter, so they’ll work nicely, but not every company makes mixers that powerful. The one that you currently have may not be meeting your needs.
**Location**
Finally, the last question is – where are you mixing your liquid products? What are the power options? This can determine whether or not you need a mixer that runs on a direct power source or one that charges up but is cordless. What about your employees? Do you want the type of mixer that you can “set and forget” or one that needs to be directly supervised the entire time? These are important factors to consider.
Hopefully, this helps you determine which of our mixers you need. If you have more questions about our mixers or are unsure which model will best meet your needs, please contact EvenMix®. You can reach us at (440) 236-6677 or via the [contact form](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/) on our website.

### [Adhesive Mixing 101](https://evenmix.com/adhesive-mixing-mix-your-adhesives-thoroughly/)
**Published:** October 10, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
**Adhesive Mixing**
If you’ve ever tried to mix an adhesive, such as two-part epoxy, by hand, then you know how difficult the process can be. After all, you need to get everything blended properly in order for the adhesive to work properly – and that doesn’t even take into account the proportions of the various ingredients.
Now imagine doing that on an industrial scale. That’s why many industries turn to our products, as they know that we have the lightweight mixers to do the job right.
## **What Could Go Wrong**
There are many things that can go wrong when mixing industrial adhesives. We’ve already mentioned the ingredient proportions and the mixing process, but let’s go into a bit of depth on both. While we can’t control the ingredient proportions (that’s your job, essentially) we can ensure that every bit of them is thoroughly mixed together.
What could happen if it’s not?
Well, whole batches of improperly mixed adhesive can fail spectacularly. For example, your adhesive needs to glue part of the fabric interior lining onto the door of a car as part of the assembly process. If the adhesive fails, you’ll lose money as you have to go back through and repair every single door. The best solution is for your adhesive to be [mixed as thoroughly as possible](https://evenmix.com/can-possibly-mix-mixers/).
## **How We Can Help**
Here at EvenMix®, we sell a number of different industrial mixers. Our IBC (intermediate bulk container) mixers are designed to handle up to 50,000 centipose. We have two different types of these mixers available – aftermarket and in plant – and both are made from hardened steel with a powder coat epoxy coating.
We also have pail mixers, designed for either five or ten-gallon pails, as well as pinless drum mixers with either a single or double blade. Like the IBC tote mixers, all can mix things that are as thick as peanut butter, meaning that they’ll mix adhesives with ease. Even better, these mixers are designed to move slightly on the container while they go to work, meaning that every inch of the adhesive will be thoroughly mixed. You won’t have to worry about improperly mixed adhesive.
Now that you understand how important it is to mix your adhesives thoroughly, you’re probably wondering which of our mixers you need.
If you have more questions about our mixers or are unsure which model will work best, please contact EvenMix®. You can reach us at (440) 236-6677 or via the [contact form](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/) on our website.

### [Wastewater Treatment Mixing](https://evenmix.com/wastewater-treatment-mixing/)
**Published:** January 24, 2019
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Did you know that our mixers have a number of industrial uses? Among other things, they can be used when treating wastewater. Here’s what you need to know about this very specific purpose.
**What Is Mixed into Wastewater to clean it?**
Wastewater usually contains a number of different compounds many of which can be quite harmful. This is why it’s called “wastewater.” However, it can be cleaned by introducing some very important chemical mixtures that will change the composition of the wastewater, cleaning it up. The first of these is a limeslurry. Lime is incredibly importantbecause it can change the overall acidity of the water. However, it’s crucial that the lime slurry is allowed to fully penetrate the water, as it’s a solid that can easily sink to the bottom, where it won’t do any good. It needs to be consistently suspended throughout the water.
The other key component, although there are plenty of other minor ones that play specific roles, to cleaning wastewater is activated carbon slurry. This is what cleans organic compounds from the water. It can also control how the finished water looks, smells, and tastes. Like lime slurry, this one needs to be thoroughly mixed into the water as well. It has a tendency to float, making it easy to remove. However, if the mixer isn’t doing its job, then only the top portion of the water is cleaned by the activated carbon slurry.
**The Mixing Process**
In order to clean the wastewater, a two-stage process is done. The first is called flash mixing. As the name implies, this process takes place at a high rate of speed for a shortened period of time. The best type of blade for this stage is one an impeller-style with a pitch blade. This blade will agitate the liquid throughout the container that it’s placed in, ensuring that those slurries are able to fully penetrate and treat it.
The second stage is called flocculation. This is done much slower, and with an airfoil impeller that moves at a low shear pumping speed. The micro-flocs that were formed during the first stage will move about the water and adhere to any of the harmful particles, cleaning the liquid in the process.

### [Light Weight Mixing System](https://evenmix.com/light-weight-mixing-system/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
###### Light Weight Mixing System
The **EvenMix®** offers reliable, easy to handle and light weight mixing system for IBC’s 55 gallon drums and standard mixing containers. The **EvenMix®** mixing system design has an integrated approach to the whole system.
This system is made up of three major components:
- a rotary power source
- an efficient power transmission system
- and an efficient mixing blade system
The **EvenMix®** power systems use either a high speed air motor or a high speed electric motor running in the range of 20,000 RPM. High speed is necessary for the low weight system as a high motor speed is reduced to a 250 RPM output speed through gear reduction. Let’s compare the EvenMix® electric motor with electric motors in the market. A ½ horsepower, 120 volt AC electric motor running at 1,750 RPM has a weight of approximately 22 lbs. The **EvenMix®** electric or air motor with controller running at 20,000 RPM has a weight of under 2 lbs!
The power transmission system is a multistage high efficiency planetary gearing system which reduces the speed at the same time increasing the torque. The power going into the gearing system is the same as the power leaving the system exchanging speed for torque. Our planetary gearing systems are over 95% efficient therefore input and output power are essentially the same. As an example a three stage planetary gearing system with a four to one gear reduction per stage results in reducing the low load speed from 20,000 RPM to 212 RPM while increasing the stall torque from 1 NM to 64 NM (47 ft. lbs.). The weight of this power transmission system is approximately 2 lbs.
##### [Efficient Mixed Flow Mixing Blade](https://evenmix.com/single-blade/)
The mixing element of the **EvenMix®** system is based on an efficient mixed flow mixing blade. Applying design principles used to design high speed aircraft turbine blades and superchargers. The resultant mixing system efficiently transfers rotary input power to the medium to be mixed. The transfer of power to the medium is in the form of a complex rotating power vector simultaneously producing axial flow circumferential flow and radial flow resulting in excellent and efficient mixing. Efficient mixing takes place even at speeds as low as 20 RPM and a homogeneous **EvenMix®** is achieved within a short period of time. The mixing blade system is designed for low drag transferring most of the input power to the fluid not wasting power to overcome drag.
EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer with Air Motor
The mixing system was validated with imperial and quantitative testing within IBC’s, 55 gallon barrels, and 5 gallon pails. Viscosities range from 1 centipoise to 10,000 with added particles (sand) with a density of 1.6. Field tests included mixing an organic compound that had been stored in a filled IBC for more than a year. The solids had separated and were the consistency of peanut butter (50,000 centipoise) with 4 inches of liquid on top. Within 10 to 15 minutes **EvenMix®**, with a ½ horsepower motor geared to approximately 100 RPM produced a flowing mixture of the desired consistency. Many of our validation tests are documented on the referenced [videos](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp7ph4JIunndn0tGkKL86GQ).
Assembling the three system elements designed to easily interface with each other results in an efficient light weight mixing system. The three elements are easily interchangeable to accommodate customized applications. Standard output interfaces that can easily attach to most standard and customized applications are part of the design features.
The results of an integrated design and development process is an efficient, effective, light weight mixing (under 10 lbs.) system that meets the vast majority of mixing tasks with an easy to handle, fast, and efficient **EvenMix®** system.

### [Combining Animal Liquid Feed Ingredients with an EvenMix® Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/combining-animal-liquid-feed-ingredients-even-mix-drum-mixer/)
**Published:** February 20, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
*EvenMix® Drum Mixer*
Farm animals like chickens, dairy cows, cattle, horses, and pigs sometimes eat a liquid feed mixture. This mixture consists of a number of raw materials, including agricultural products and liquid additives. Items such as vegetable oils, milk and whey, and even molasses go into to these mixtures in order to provide a number of essential vitamins and minerals.
#### Feed Mixing Issues
Farmers have one major issue when it comes to mixing this feed – it’s rather tricky to combine. Compare it to making cake batter. You can’t just dump all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and hope for the best. Instead, you need to add everything in a certain order – and those ingredients need to be precisely measured out – and then mix it very carefully.
Depending on the type of animal, the feed can consist of a number of different dry, sticky, and completely liquid ingredients. These bulk components need to be combined well in the right type of drum (usually a 55 gallon one) before they go into storage. Since farmers tend to mix large quantities of the feed at once, because it’s much easier that way, the mixture might separate slightly before the farmer uses it.
#### Recombining Separated Drums of Feed
Before the liquid feed can be doled out to the animals, it should be remixed. This is particularly true if it’s been stored for quite some time. The liquid parts of it can separate, turning it into something that is unappetizing for the animals, not to mention potentially devoid of the necessary nutrients. That is, a poorly mixed drum of feed can contain an uneven amount of vitamins and minerals – some of the animals might end up with more of these vital components than others, simply because it’s mixed unevenly. You’ll need to recombine everything in the drum before you use it.
#### Where EvenMix® Comes In
We make a series of drum mixers that will work perfectly to recombine your liquid animal feed. Our pinless drum mixers are available in both single and double blade varieties. Both are very easy to use. Simple fit the mixer into the hole at the top of the drum and turn it on. Before you know it, the entire drum of liquid feed will be perfectly combined and ready for your livestock. Our mixers are designed to combine everything in the drum, even anything that might be lurking at the bottom. This makes them perfect for the job!

### [EvenMix® Is the Solution to Your Fertilizer Mixing Issues](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-is-the-solution-to-your-fertilizer-mixing-issues/)
**Published:** March 6, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Now that spring is almost here; it’s time to start thinking about fertilizer. Fertilizer has many applications – it’s used on lawns and gardens – in order to enhance the soil. To put it simply, fertilizer makes it easier to grow healthy plants. Whether you’re mixing your own fresh fertilizer for commercial use or have purchased a large batch that’s been sitting around all winter, it’s time to look at a great solution to a common problem.
**Fertilizer Mixtures**
The most popular components of fertilizer are called macronutrients. They are potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Many varieties also contain magnesium, sulfur, carbon, and even calcium. All of these ingredients add nutrients to the soil and create better-growing conditions. However, there’s one additional ingredient – oxygen – that is added in when the fertilizer is mixed up before use.
**Potential Mixing Issues**
Mixing fertilizer can be tricky. After all, it can be extremely flammable and combustible. (There’s a reason why it’s a common component in bombs.) You need to keep the conditions right when mixing it in order to avoid creating a potentially deadly scenario. At the same time, you need to add a liquid that makes the fertilizer easier to apply. Yes, there are other types of fertilizers, including those that consist of granules, but those are sold to consumers who add them to their lawns and gardens themselves. The best for commercial purposes are liquids. They are easier to apply over a large amount of land when in this format.
**A Solution to the Problem**
The best way to mix liquid fertilizer is by putting your ingredients into a drum. These drums tend to be metal, which protects the user from potentially becoming contaminated by the fertilizer. Once you pour in the correct ratio of liquids and solid, install a drum mixer that has been specially designed to fit over the top of your fertilizer container. The ones sold by Even Mix are designed to combine your fertilizer ingredients thoroughly with little effort on your part.
[**Even Mix Drum Mixers**](https://evenmix.com/55-gallon-drum-mixer/)
Our drum mixers are designed to work with barrels of various sizes, ranging all of the way up to 55 gallons. That should be enough fertilizer for at least one commercial application, depending on the size of your field. The smooth mixing process will prevent those ingredients from heating up or becoming unstable. In short, they are ideal for this use.

### [EvenMix: Transforming Mixing at Chautauqua Chemical Company](https://evenmix.com/evenmix-transforming-mixing-chautauqua-chemical-company/)
**Published:** July 18, 2024
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Mixing in an industrial setting is a complex and nuanced task that demands precision and efficiency. At Chautauqua Chemical Company in Ashville, NY, blending powders and solids into liquids is a critical part of its daily operations.
However, achieving a perfect and consistent mix has long been a daunting task, plagued by issues such as solids settling at the bottom of the tanks and getting stuck in the corners. Traditional mixers have fallen short of addressing these problems, often requiring manual intervention to achieve the desired mixture.
This is where EvenMix steps in, revolutionizing the mixing process with its innovative design. [EvenMix](https://evenmix.com/) not only simplifies the mixing process but also ensures a uniform blend without operator assistance.
Let’s explore how EvenMix has transformed the operations at [Chautauqua Chemical Company](https://cchemco.com/).
## Tackling the Mixing Challenge
Industrial mixing is more than just combining ingredients. It is about achieving a seamless blend where every component is evenly distributed, ensuring consistency in every batch produced. At Chautauqua Chemical Company, this involves mixing various powders and solids into liquids, a process that comes with its own set of challenges.
One of the major hurdles is preventing solids from settling at the bottom or getting stuck in the corners of the tanks. Traditional mixers often necessitate frequent manual scraping to keep the materials in the mix.
The traditional boat-type propellers used in many mixers are particularly ineffective for cylindrical tanks, which are common in industrial settings. They can’t reach the tank corners, leaving residues that affect the mix’s uniformity.
As a result, operators have to use sticks or other tools to dislodge the materials manually, which is both time-consuming and inefficient. The need for a more effective solution led Chautauqua Chemical Company to EvenMix, and the results have been nothing short of transformative.
## Real-World Testimonial: The EvenMix Advantage
[Phil from EvenMix](https://www.linkedin.com/in/philerankin) recently caught up with Jeremy Claypool of the Chautauqua Chemical Company to discuss their firsthand experience with EvenMix versus a competitor’s mixer.
“The competitor’s mixer doesn’t pull the material off the bottom the way the EvenMix does. The EvenMix blends much more evenly and quicker,” Jeremy explained.
This is a crucial improvement, especially when blending a high volume of solids. The EvenMix mixer’s ability to pull or push the solids off the bottom and integrate them flawlessly into the mix every time has significantly streamlined their process.
In contrast, the competitor’s mixer with a boat-type prop required manual intervention to ensure that materials stuck in the corners were incorporated into the mix.
However, with EvenMix, this problem was entirely eradicated.
“The EvenMix mixer pulls it out of the corners and off the bottom and mixes it in perfectly. You are able to go to break, and when you come back, it’s done!”
This statement underscores the efficiency and reliability of the EvenMix system, freeing operators from constant supervision and manual labor.
## The Science Behind EvenMix’s Success
What makes EvenMix stand out in the crowded field of industrial mixers is its patented blade design and advanced engineering. Unlike traditional mixers that rely on simple rotary motion, EvenMix employs a 3D mixing action that ensures every particle is thoroughly integrated into the mix. This design innovation creates a homogeneous blend every single time without operator intervention.
Moreover, the EvenMix system enhances safety in the workplace. It eliminates the need for manual intervention and thus reduces the risk of accidents and injuries associated with the mixing process. Operators can set the mixer and leave it unattended, confident they will return to a perfectly blended batch. This not only improves productivity but also allows workers to focus on other critical tasks, optimizing overall operational efficiency.
EvenMix has revolutionized the mixing process at Chautauqua Chemical Company, providing a reliable, efficient, and safe solution for blending powders and solids into liquids. Transitioning to EvenMix simplified their operations and significantly improved their product consistency and operational efficiency.

No, these aren’t blenders that are comprised of ribbons used to tie a girl’s hair up. Yes, these are a form of blenders that are frequently used in various industrial settings. Like the majority other blenders or mixers, the ribbon blender got its name from the blade used to mix materials on its interior. Oftentimes referred to as ribbon mixers, these blenders have a ribbon agitator that has a set of inner and outer blades. Both sets of blades work in tandem to rotate the materials inside of the mixer. But while the outer blade moves materials toward the center of the trough of the ribbon blender, the inner blade moves materials toward the outside of the trough. Seems pretty straightforward, right?
There are two sets of blades in this type of mixer, and they wind around the entirety of the trough. Typically done in a double helix design, the blades resemble ribbons. Some even say they look like human DNA. Because of this distinct design, a ribbon blender has the ability to thoroughly mix components and materials much more so than other blenders can. So what exactly are these blenders used to mix? For starters, a sound recommendation is that ribbon blenders *aren’t* used for products that are sticky. This includes any two-part adhesives as they could get stuck inside the trough and can end up getting stuck on the double blades. But, with two blades working together, this type of blender is sound for mixtures that are very fine such as fine gravel or powders. Ribbon blenders may not be used to make ribbon candy, but sometimes they are used in commercial bakeries to create delectable treats such as cakes, pastries and breads.
As this blender is used in a wide variety of applications, there are different versions of it available, depending on what is being mixed. For animal feed, farmers might use a vertical ribbon blender as this version of the blender can have materials moved from top to bottom and back again because of a vertical screw that can be included in the design. The more common design is the horizontal ribbon blender, which has a U-shaped trough. Horizontal ribbon mixers tend to be a popular choice for materials that are compatible with them, as they have short cycle times.
Mixing is our name *and* it’s our game. Different industries, such as the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry, require blenders and mixers to manufacture many products people use in their daily lives. With updates here on our monthly blog, we’ll be giving you more information about various blenders and what makes them tick — we mean “rotate” — here regularly.

## We are busy preparing for our first ever Iowa Power Farming Show
Visit us January 30th to February 1st at the Iowa Power Farming Show. We will be exhibiting in Booth #5006.
Mixers and Organic Fertilizers in the Farming Industry
The mixers produced by EvenMix® have a number of different applications, including some in the farming industry. One example involves fertilizer. Corn gluten is a popular organic fertilizer. It prevents weeds from taking root. However, when it’s left to settle over time, the material can become too thick to spread easily. This is where EvenMix®’s mixers come in. Our IBC tote mixer is lightweight and easy to use. Once it’s in the corn gluten filled tote, an air hose is attached. The air powers the mixer, which makes the corn gluten lighter. The difference is obvious – the material goes from being sludge-like to light and airy, perfect for disbursing over a large field.
Other Farming Uses
There are many different uses for mixers on large commercial farms. The ones made by EvenMix® – the IBC Tote Mixers, Pail Mixers, and Drum Mixers all have different applications. Whether your farm needs its organic fertilizer freshened up (as explained above), its grain blends created, or more, our products can help. Come see us at our booth at the 2018 Iowa Power Farming Show. We’ll be more than happy to answer your questions and demonstrate how our mixers can meet your needs.

### [Our New Dedicated Machines: An Exciting New Addition to Even Mix](https://evenmix.com/our-new-dedicated-machines-an-exciting-new-addition-to-even-mix/)
**Published:** January 26, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Few things are as exciting as watching a small business grow larger. Here at Even Mix, the demand in recent months had reached the point that we had to purchase new, dedicated machines. Our new machines – the TRAK TRL 1630SX and the TRAK DPM SX3P– will allow us to make our own parts. This greatly speeds up the process, while allowing us to stay in control of our ISO 9000 Quality Standards.
The **TRAK TRL 1630SX** has the ability to work in either manual or CNC modes. This dual capability allows our employees to handle many different types of parts. On top of this, CNC machining tends to cut down on time, while nothing beats the precision of creating parts in manual mode. The 1630SX, made by Southwestern Industries, Inc., allows for a mix of both high and low-volume work. This is handled thanks to the tooling indexer that comes with both 4 and eight station options. The machine also has a 16-inch swing over and has a 30-inch space between the centers. Overall, the 1630SX can run on four different types of software: G-code, ProtoTRAK conversation language, DXF converter, CAM, and Verify Matching Simulation, adding to its versatility.
The **TRAK DPM SX3P** This machine, the TRAK DPM SX3P is also made by Southwestern Industries, Inc. It’s a tabletop style machine that fits on a flat surface that measures 50-inches by ten inches. This machine also has a five horsepower spindle motor. The SX3P is able to run in CNC and manual modes, much like the 1630SX. However, both machines have very different uses. The SX3P is designed to create smaller batches of parts and can even handle one item at a time. This machine also has a 40 taper spindle, works on an X, Y, or Z axis, and had a multi-speed range of between 40 to 600 and 300 to 5,000 RPM.
**What This Means for EvenMix®**
We already went over some of the benefits – sticking to our strict quality standards and faster parts production. However, these new dedicated machines also open us up to new business. No company likes to tell their clients that they need to wait for much-needed parts or mixers, especially if it’s a new client. Now, we don’t have to. We can make our parts in-house, thanks to our new TRAK TRL 1630SX and TRAK DPM SX3P.

### [Mastering Fluid Dynamics and the Role of Centipoise in Innovative Mixing Technology](https://evenmix.com/mastering-fluid-dynamics-centipoise-evenmix-technology/)
**Published:** March 19, 2024
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Fluid dynamics plays a pivotal role in several industries, dictating the efficacy of processes like mixing, which is a critical operation in pharmaceuticals, agriculture, manufacturing, and more. At the heart of mastering this process is understanding a key concept: centipoise. It’s the key to effective mixing, enabling technologies such as those developed by EvenMix® to revolutionize how we combine different substances.
Let’s explore the critical role of centipoise in fluid dynamics and how it enhances EvenMix®’s innovative mixing technology.
## Understanding Viscosity and Centipoise
Viscosity is a fundamental property of fluids that describes their resistance to flow. The measurement of this resistance is where centipoise (cP) comes into play. A centipoise is one-hundredth of a poise, the unit for dynamic viscosity in the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system of units.
Simply put, [the lower the centipoise value, the lower the fluid’s viscosity](https://www.smooth-on.com/page/viscosity-scale/), making it flow more easily. Think water at approximately 1 cP at room temperature. On the other end of the spectrum, fluids with higher centipoise values, like paint or honey, can be quite thick and flow much more slowly, showing greater resistance to mixing and movement.
Understanding a material’s viscosity is essential in the mixing process. For instance, when using mixing technology to combine ingredients in a product, the viscosity of each component must be considered to ensure they’re blended efficiently and effectively. The difference in viscosity influences the selection of equipment, the duration of mixing, the power required, and the final consistency of the product.
### The Role of Centipoise in Mixing Technology
With the diversity of fluids across different industries, a one-size-fits-all approach to mixing doesn’t suffice. EvenMix®’s innovative mixing technology recognizes this challenge and provides a flexible solution. Whether dealing with low-viscosity fluids that need gentle stirring or high-viscosity substances that require more robust mixing action, [EvenMix® mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-air-geared-motor/) are precisely designed to handle varying viscosities.
By accurately adapting to the fluid’s specific centipoise, EvenMix® technology ensures that whether a mixture is as thin as acetone or as thick as peanut butter, the mixer can manage it with the same level of efficiency. This versatility is crucial for maintaining quality and consistency, especially when scaling up production, where precise control over the mixture’s homogeneity is critical.
## The EvenMix® Advantage in the Industry
The implications of using centipoise in mixing technology are vast. In the chemical industry, achieving a uniform blend of substances can make the difference between a safe, effective product and one that’s not. In the food and beverage sector, the even distribution of ingredients is essential for both quality and taste. In cosmetics, the consistency and feel of the product are paramount and only possible with proper mixing.
By utilizing EvenMix® technology, industries benefit from the ability to create consistent, homogeneous mixtures that meet their specific needs. It’s not just about mixing more effectively; it’s about enhancing the end product’s quality, stability, and performance by understanding and applying the principles of centipoise to the mixing process.
Thus, centipoise is more than a unit of measurement for viscosity – it’s a gateway to mastering fluid dynamics which is essential for innovation in mixing technology. EvenMix® stands at the forefront of this field, offering solutions that adapt to and effectively mix fluids of all viscosities.
For those seeking a partner in mixing technology, [EvenMix](https://evenmix.com/) ensures that your products will be mixed to perfection regardless of the fluid’s resistance to flow.

### [EvenMix: 4 Digital Drive Operating Modes for Every Mixing Need](https://evenmix.com/digital-drive-modes/)
**Published:** February 20, 2024
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
Are you looking for a digital mixer that combines simplicity, efficiency, and versatility? Look no further! At EvenMix®, we’re proud to introduce [our innovative Digital Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-electric-drive/), designed to cater to a wide range of mixing requirements with four distinct operational modes.
Explore each mode and see how the EvenMix® Digital Mixer can make your mixing process more intuitive and effective.
## Mode 1: Customizable Speed (M1)
Imagine having the capability to start at any speed you desire without the risk of splashing or the hassle of manual adjustments. Mode 1 offers precisely this level of control, whether dealing with delicate fluids or more robust substances. Upon selecting your desired speed, the EvenMix® Digital Mixer smoothly ramps up to your chosen setting. This feature is like giving yourself that gentle push you need to start your day – a slow and steady build-up to peak performance.
### M1 in Action: Simple Start-Up
To use Mode 1, power on the mixer and allow it to complete its start-up sequence. Choose your speed, press Start, and watch the mixer cleverly escalate to your preset speed. This mode is perfect when you need finesse and gradual engagement in your mixing process, avoiding abrupt movements that can lead to material waste or mishaps.
## Mode 2: Auto Start (M2)
Hard-to-reach mixing locations or automated systems often require a mixer that can autonomously start and stop. Mode 2, the “Auto Start” function, is engineered for such scenarios. With M2, the control is in your hands – quite literally. This mode allows you to initiate the start and stop of the mixer by simply controlling the power supply to the unit.
### M2 in Action: Automatic Convenience
Set your favorite speed after a power cycle. When you power on the unit next, it goes through a 60-second countdown before it automatically begins mixing. To stop, you can either press the Stop button or cut the power supply to the unit. The next time power is supplied, the mixer will resume the same operation. M2 is the epitome of convenience for automated mixing environments.
## Mode 3: Cycling (M3)
Mode 3 presents a “Cycling” mode beneficial for applications requiring an on-and-off mixing pattern. This mode is essential for [IBC totes](https://evenmix.com/mixing-in-stainless-steel-totes/) that need a mix alternating with a rest period to avoid material settling or overheating, ensuring sustained performance.
### M3 in Action: Intermittent Operation
After powering on, the mixer engages for 30 minutes, then pauses to allow the fan to cool the system for another 30 minutes. After the cooling period, the cycle restarts. Should you need to stop the cycle, a simple press of the power button will suffice. This mode is ideal for processes requiring breaks in mixing to ensure product integrity.
## Mode 4: Run and Cool Down (M4)
Sometimes, you only need a straightforward, singular mixing session without subsequent cycles. Mode 4, “Run and Cool Down,” provides this functionality. Designed for a one-time 30-minute mix, this mode ensures a complete, thorough mix without auto-restart, perfect for batch processes.
### M4 in Action: Single Mixing Session
Activate the mixer for a dedicated 30-minute session, and it will complete the mixing task without any automatic restart. This mode is favored for tasks that require a set mixing time with no follow-up cycles.
## Versatility at Your Fingertips
Each mode of the EvenMix® Digital Mixer has been thoughtfully designed with your mixing needs in mind, from the gradual sophistication of M1 to the hands-off reliability of M2, the paced regularity of M3, or the focused intent of M4.
At EvenMix®, we take pride in delivering innovative solutions that make your processes easier and more efficient. With our Digital Mixer, you have the flexibility to tackle any mixing challenge that comes your way.
## EvenMix®: Your Go-To for Advanced Mixing Solutions
When performance meets user-friendly design, you get the EvenMix® Digital Mixer.

**Published:** October 19, 2023
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Paint mixing technology has come a long way in recent years, with brands like EvenMix® leading the innovation. In this case study, we look at how EvenMix® enabled companies to save a significant amount of money by revitalizing paint that had been sitting idle for years.
## Innovative Applications of the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer
When paints are left untouched for extended periods, they tend to lose their original consistency and quality. The bottom of the paint totes usually becomes mucky and thick, making it incredibly challenging to restore the paint to a usable state. Our recent case study involved mixing eight totes of paint that had been untouched for two long years.
AJ, who owns a competitor’s mixer, had the opportunity to see the superiority of [our tote mixer first-hand](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer/). For him, EvenMix® emerged as the standout product compared with other brands he’s familiar with, describing it as “revolutionary.”
EvenMix® excels in mixing stubborn substances like acrylic or latex paints. Its lightweight design, high efficiency, and impressive RPM set it apart from its competitors.

The result was significant cost savings, saving AJ from potentially spending thousands of dollars to [dispose of the unusable paint](https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/how-to-dispose-of-paint).
One of the standout features of EvenMix® was its seamless interaction with the paint. Our mixer blends into the paint effortlessly, completely eliminating the need for users to reach into the tote to adjust or open the blades. This user-friendly feature allows a single-handed setup, making the mixing process more streamlined and efficient.
## EvenMix® vs. Other Tote Mixers: A Hands-On Comparison
When comparing EvenMix® with other mixers on the market, the results were exceptionally clear. EvenMix® outperforms its competitors due to its lightweight design and robust performance. Its smart design is a stark contrast against the heavy and unwieldy machinery that some competitors offer.

### [Keeping It Simple](https://evenmix.com/keeping-it-simple/)
**Published:** July 19, 2023
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
In today’s market, it is easy to get caught up and even overwhelmed with the number of choices you have. It’s no different with industrial mixers. We noticed that our competition has so many choices, options, and features that are almost as bad as tracking the SATs. While choices and options are good, it can take hours to fill out everything. Furthermore, do you really know what you need? As a provider of industrial mixers, we wanted to make your buying experience as smooth as possible. We understand the importance of choices and options, but some features should be standard on every machine.
## Background on EvenMix®'s History
When I recently when to purchase a car, I’ll be honest, I was thinking it was going to take 1/2 day. Car dealerships are places that can really be time-consuming, and the options and features for cars these days are incredible. However, it wasn’t time-consuming at all. Most features come standard based on the model. This got me thinking about our mixers and how important it is to ensure that our clients get that same [easy-to-purchase](https://evenmix.com/shop/) feeling. You don’t want to spend hours trying to purchase the mixer that will do everything you need. You want something simple and affordable to take care of your mixing needs for years. As a business owner, you probably don’t have the mental capacity to deal with all those questions and options our competition has. After all, you have far more important things to deal with.
That’s why I set out to make the purchasing of an EvenMix® mixer to be smooth than possible. Do we still have all the features and options that you need? Of course! But, most of them will come standard on every machine. This allows us to mass produce with ease, providing our clients with cost savings but also a superior mixer. I see this as a win-win. There isn’t any choice over a million different features and options, as most options come standard. What doesn’t come standard is a handful of things.
## Superior Performance
We have designed our EvenMix® to perform under just about any conditions. This means that you can use the same [mixer for a variety of applications](https://ispe.org/pharmaceutical-engineering/how-choose-right-industrial-mixer-your-application).

We wanted something that we would be proud of, and that would change the industry. We have discovered that with some major overhauling, our mixers are now some of the best on the market.
## EvenMix® - Improving Upon the Industry
Before, the mixers were large and super heavy. Many of our competition mixers have to moved with a forklift or two people. But our mixers are all under 15 lbs. That’s right, under 15 lbs. What does that mean? No more need for forklift moving. You only need only one employee to move the mixer from container to container. That’s a substantial time saver, and time is money. Furthermore, the patented blades are designed to mix evenly, no matter what type of container you use them in. Even as an IBC Tote Mixer or drum mixer, it will reach down into those corners and very bottom, leaving you with an evenly mixed product each and every time.
Don’t waste your time with the competition’s heavy, outdated equipment. You need to see for yourself just how different EvenMix® Tank Mixer, Drum mixer, and IBC Tote mixers are.

### [EvenMix® Introduces the Digital Geared Drive](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-introduces-the-digital-geared-drive/)
**Published:** August 19, 2021
**Author:** Phil Rankin
**Content:**
EvenMix® Introduces the Digital Geared Drive
# Digital Electric Geared Drive
EvenMix® is excited to present its newest innovation: the Digital Geared Drive. We have perfected our new digital mixing system in order to fit the needs of all customers. The Digital Drive is lightweight and portable, coming in at only 12 pounds. It mixes efficiently using our patented 3D mixing blades with a variable pitch. Low energy consumption is essential, so the Digital Drive has been made to consume only 4 Amps max at 120 V. In addition, we developed high-quality technology to ensure the Digital Drive is dust and water-resistant. The new digital display allows you to control your mix with ease and accuracy. No mixer on the market performs quite like the EvenMix® Digital Drive.
## Developing the Digital Drive
Since EvenMix® began, we’ve noticed recurring drawbacks to many mixers on the market. High energy consumption, poor mixing performance, and extremely heavy, to name a few issues. We have worked extensively to solve these problems by developing innovative technology and adhering to our core values. Our extensive testing has allowed us to manufacture the perfect drive with the most efficient mixing capabilities. Every feature of the Digital Drive has been developed with a purpose. We strive to make sure that everything we do here at EvenMix® has a purpose.
## Using the Digital Drive
Our mission has always been to make it as easy as possible for our customers to mix their solutions. The Digital Drive is powerful yet easy to use with a [150:1 gear reduction and 135 RPM](https://evenmix.com/horsepower-vs-torque/). No need for a forklift, you’ll only need one person to complete the job. We designed our Mixed Flow Blades to ensure there is an even distribution of materials throughout the mixture. The blades fold inward to fit through the opening of the mixing container and expand outward once mixing begins. The variable pitch of the blades stands out in comparison to any other mixing blades. Thanks to our NASA engineer, these blades are strong and efficient. They pump the mixture in multiple directions, creating what we call a 3D mix.
The drive itself is simplistic in design and reliable in tough conditions. The variable speed control ranges from levels 1 to 20, allowing for more user control. These can be easily adjusted using the plus and minus buttons. Included on the digital panel is a slow start mode, which is a useful option for speeding up the mixing process gradually. Unlike other electric drives, the [EvenMix® Digital Geared Drive](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-electric-drive/) is water and dust-resistant. Now you can mix in rough conditions without having to worry.
## Get the Advantages of EvenMix®
Whether you are working in agriculture, polymers, food/beverage, paint/coatings and beyond, EvenMix® will always produce the most uniform mixture. Our new Digital Drive makes it even easier, no matter what you may be mixing. Our newly redesigned website features our mixing systems compatible with the drive. Contact us and let us make your mixing experience as easy and cost-effective as possible.

### [Tank Mixer From EvenMix®](https://evenmix.com/tank-mixer-features/)
**Published:** September 27, 2021
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Excerpt:** Tank Mixers on the market today have been designed to agitate mixtures in containers of different shapes and sizes. However, many of these tanks are difficult to work with due to heavy weight, low efficiency, and several other factors.
**Content:**
# EvenMix® Tank Mixer Features
Tank Mixers on the market today have been designed to agitate mixtures in containers of different shapes and sizes. However, many of these tanks are difficult to work with due to heavy weight, low efficiency, and several other factors. Here at EvenMix®, we have worked hard to perfect the technology behind our Tank Mixers in order to provide our customers with the best mixing experience possible.
Our [Poly Tank Geared Mixers](https://evenmix.com/tank-mixer/) provide a superior mix using our patented 3D mixing blades. The variable pitch of these blades is unlike any other. The mixture is pumped in circular motions with ease throughout the container, creating a completely even mix. We have tested several different materials in our mixers of various viscosities. Our advanced systems allow you to mix substances up to 2,000 cps. Solids are kept in suspensions in the tanks while more viscous materials are mixed thoroughly throughout.
Our tank mixers come in a number of sizes, all depending on how much you’d like to mix at a time. The standard 5,000-gallon tank mixer has a 72” long shaft with 4” tall variable pitch mixing blades. Our tough blades open to 16” in diameter once the mixing process begins. You can see how the blades mix materials in a 3D motion in many of our [informational videos](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp7ph4JIunndn0tGkKL86GQ).
## Standing Out from The Rest
Tank Mixers are typically heavy and bulky, which can require multiple employees to provide manpower or even forklifts. This seems to be one of the major difficulties faced by users, regardless of the size of the tank and drive. All [EvenMix® mixing systems](https://evenmix.com/) are designed to be lightweight and portable, with our air drives weighing only 9 pounds and our electric drives weighing only 12 pounds.
After talking to many of our customers about their past experiences with other mixing companies, it seems that many mixers are not durable and/or long-lasting. We have developed a strong DC brushless motor that ensures long-lasting mixing. You won’t need to worry about wear and tear on the motor as you continue to produce your mixtures. Our new Digital Drives are water and dust resistant, allowing you to mix in some of the toughest manufacturing conditions.
## Mix With Ease Using EvenMix®
No other mixer works quite like the EvenMix® Tank Mixer. The digital speed control ranging from 40 to 150 RPM gives the user complete control over the mixture, making it simple to use. While it is lightweight, it is mighty in power and creates the most even mix possible. We ensure that each of our customers is satisfied with their mixer and continue to work with them beyond their initial purchase. Check out our redesigned website to see more, and feel free to reach out to our amazing support team.

### [New From EvenMix®TM: The Clamp Mount Mixer](https://evenmix.com/container-clamp-mount-mixer/)
**Published:** October 30, 2021
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
# Clamp Mount Mixer for Any Container
Many mixer users have been searching for the perfect clamp mounted mixers to fit all their needs. However, many of the standard clamp mount mixers on the market today are known to be heavy, inefficient, and/or expensive. At EvenMix®, we are changing the game with our innovative [Clamp Mount Mixer](https://evenmix.com/clamp-mount-mixer/).
We have designed a Clamp Mount that attaches easily onto open containers of various shapes and sizes. Our robust engineering assures customers of long-lasting quality and high-powered execution. We pride ourselves on developing lightweight mixers and drives that require less strain to operate than others. With the help of a NASA Engineer, we have been able to perfect our mixing technology and provide our customers with the best mixing experience.
## An Innovation in Clamp Mount Mixers
Our Clamp Mount Mixer is compatible with our air and electric drives and works especially well with our newest Digital Drive. We manufacture custom shafts to fit the size of your tank. Our patented EvenMix® blades mix materials in 3D.
The blades expand to 16” in diameter once the mixing process begins. The strong pumping action moves all materials around the container in multiple directions, creating a thorough mix. The blades work to mix all around the container, even in the corners and crevices. We have tested all kinds of suspensions and substances in our mixers and found that our variable pitch blades mix up to 2,000 cps.
## How to Use the Open Tank Clamp Mount Mixer
As said before, many clamp mounts are difficult to use due to the nature of their design. We have extensively researched the pain points of these mixers and took action to solve them through our technological developments.
When working with an open-top container, the EvenMix® Clamp Mount is attached to the side of the container with the shaft and blades placed into the mixture. Attaching the clamp is simple and easy since our air and electric drives only weigh 9 and 12 pounds, respectively. The clamp secures tightly with some tightening and adjustments.
Using our new [Electric Geared Digital Drive](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-electric-drive/), the variable speed control ranges from levels 1 to 20. The slow start mode can be used to gradually build up the mixing process if needed. The digital speed control can go from 40 to 150 RPM in a matter of seconds. Once mixing is complete, the clamp can be removed and transported with ease.
## Diverse Mixing Features are the Future of Industrial Mixing
EvenMix®’s solution is simple, with fewer parts and even fewer things that can potentially go wrong. Plus, users can mix and match their drives with the mixers or the drum they are using. It is a flexible system that pays dividends for many businesses in terms of time, energy saved, and a favorable outcome of the mixed solution.
Furthermore, EvenMix®’s superior customer support for tote agitators or mixers is second to none. Everything from replacement blades to drives and supporting parts are easily available. So, businesses save time and consequently money by choosing a company that manufactures and designs all their own stuff.
We continue to work with our customers after their initial purchase to ensure that each of our products continue to work properly. Take a look at some of our previous articles and [informational mixing videos](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp7ph4JIunndn0tGkKL86GQ). Make your mixing as easy as possible with our newest innovations.

### [Switch and Mix](https://evenmix.com/switch-and-mix/)
**Published:** July 21, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
# Switch and Mix
When you are looking at industrial mixers, most people are looking for a specific drive for that operation. A [pneumatic drive or electric drive](https://evenmix.com/electric-or-air-motor/) are the common choices. However, with EvenMix®, you have the benefits of both. That’s right, we offer both, but we didn’t stop there. We made them interchangeable. While this might not seem like a huge deal to most of the world, we saw a need for this. Our drive system, which is a standard 32″ shaft, is made to work with just about any situation. We have designed the shaft to hold up to 3 blades, but it can hold 1, 2, or 3.
The shaft is standard at 32,” but you can double it for 72″ to get the length you need. The shaft is interchangeable with the mixers, either electric or [pneumatic](https://www.ato.com/air-motors). You probably are thinking, what is the big deal there? Well, the shaft and blades are the most expensive part of the unit. This means you can purchase one shaft and blad combination or get different sets of blades to do the different mixing in your shop with different mixers. It will depend on what type of power you have close by.
The switch and mix system was designed to be customized right on the shop floor. This means you can mix and match the shafts, blades, and mixer types without a lot of downtime. This is something that our engineers saw a need for.
## Why EvenMix®?
Let’s start from the beginning. We set out to produce an industrial mixer that is like no other industrial mixer of its kind. We studied what was on the market and what we could do to improve upon that. While we were studying, we noticed there was a lot to improve upon. EvenMix® is a very powerful mixer that is very lightweight. Most people think it is inferior to the rest because of its size. Our mixers weigh 12 lbs or less and are easily interchanged from one container to the next. They are designed to evenly mix substances with various viscosities and not only mix but evenly mix them right within their containers. We work with substances that come in drums and barrels to mix in the difficult to get to corners of the IBC.
That’s right. Our mixers can interchange between all these different containers but also can be moved with just one person from the containers. Some mixers are as heavy as 25-100 lbs, making it impossible to move easily. That was just one more thing our engineers worked on, trying to produce an industrial mixer that was ready to be interchanged without breaking out the forklift.
## Interchangeable Mixers
We did it. We created a mixer that was lightweight enough to interchange with the different containers. But, we didn’t compromise on the power. In fact, EvenMix® is much more powerful than most mixers on the market. The different types of mixers are:
- IBC Tote Mixers
- Drum Mixers
- Clamp Mount Mixers
- Tank Mixers
They are designed to work in a variety of industries, such as:
- Water treatment
- Polymer Adhesive and resin
- Personal Care and CBD
- Oil, gas, and mining
- Law and Tree fertilizer
- Ink, paint, and coatings
- Chemicals
- Beverage
- Agriculture
- More.
We have a [mixer that will work for your situation](https://evenmix.com/selecting-the-right-mixer/), whatever industry you are in, whatever container you are working with. We take pride in our mixers, and our patented blades help evenly mix whatever the substance is right where it sits. There is no need to pour your product into a different vat to be mixed. We have a mixer that will work with the container it is already in. Not only does it mix in the container it comes in, but it mixes evenly. That’s what gave EvenMix® its name!
## Electric or Pneumatic?
Piston pneumatic motors are typically used in applications requiring precise speed regulation at low speeds, high starting torque, and high power. Our simple modular design and diverse accessories allow an infinite number of mounting options, making the mixers simple to use and move around. One significant disadvantage of internally lubricated radial and axial-piston motors is that grease and oil reserves must be monitored and replaced on a regular basis. Radial-piston motors are larger, making them more difficult to work with. But the smaller axial-piston motors make them much easier to work with. The high starting torque of axial and radial piston pneumatic motors is a significant advantage.
These air motors provide traction by varying air pressure while the motor rotates.
EvenMix®’s mission was to provide our customers with a mixer that is accurate, transportable, and economical. While some applications do not require such precision, others do. We expected our mixers to be used in a variety of industrial applications. As a result, we decided to create two distinct types of motors to ensure that there is something for everyone.
Why buy a mixer that can only do one thing when you can buy one that can do everything? While many mixtures are either a drum mixer or an IBC, the EvenMix® is designed to handle both functions effortlessly and precisely. It is entirely up to you to decide what to use for your EvenMix®.
### EvenMix® Mixer with Electric Power
Our electric motor is powered by a 110-volt three-prong plug, much like the one in your house. As a result, many of our clients find it simple to use this mixing style. These types of plugs can be found in factories, businesses, and even your house. It can take up to 4 amps, although it normally only uses 2 amps, which is about the same as a low-speed ceiling fan. This implies that, unlike some other models and brands on the market, running this mixer will be incredibly cost-effective. This is significant since every little bit improves the bottom line!
Electricity, because it is pure, does not cause the same issues as air. You’ll have more control over the speed and variations. The variable speed range of our electric drive is 40 to 150 RPM. This is demonstrated by an electric motor controlling the air compressor, which delivers the air to drive the air motor. The unit’s speed can be set directly on the digital screen and functions in four modes. These will be quite precise, which is critical in some circumstances. This is less important in other circumstances, and the air-powered mixer makes more sense.
## Conclusion Whether You Need Pneumatic or Electric
In general, air mixers have a longer lifespan than electric mixers. This is because of the way they are built. The mixer will simply stall out if something is too thick for the powerful motor. However, an electric mixer will frequently overheat, which causes harm. While this is a precaution that some of our customers require, the majority of them are not working with materials that thick and heavy, to begin with. Again, it will depend on the application and personal preference to determine what mixer would be best for your particular situation.
Another factor to consider is the power supply that is most accessible. Remember, the shaft and blades are interchangeable, making this the most versatile mixer on the market. Hopefully, this has given you some insight into the features of each drive and how they function. If you need any additional information, please contact us. We are always happy to answer questions and help out when it comes to our mixers.

### [EvenMix® - How to Assemble - Bung Mixer](https://evenmix.com/how-to-assemble-bung-mixer/)
**Published:** December 1, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Bunghole mount mixers allow you to immediately mount our mixers to the 2″ NPT bung hole on the [lid of a 55-gallon drum](http://www.bubbasbarrels.com/catalog/stainless-steel-drums-and-accessories/lids-gaskets-bungs/31-55-gallons) or any other vessel. The folding props will be able to slip through the bung aperture and open with centripetal force. The mixer will function in both inside and center bung apertures. Our [barrel bung hole mount mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-lid-mixer/) are composed of high-quality components that offer exceptional durability as well as lightweight portability.
Tough design and construction are some of the key factors of our mixers. However, the most crucial part is the patented blade design that is unique to our EvenMix® mixers. Our tote mixing systems are designed and manufactured in Cleveland. With the assistance of a NASA engineer, we were able to perfect our systems and make them the best they could be. We take pride in the strength and durability of our tote bung mixers.
We asked paint, chemical, agriculture, culinary, and industrial industries about mixing problems in totes. They had plenty! Our engineers solved the issues and created the EvenMix® blade. It was good enough to warrant a patent. It incorporates 3D mixing and is unlike anything else.
The [EvenMix® 55-gallon bung drum mixer](https://evenmix.com/55-gallon-drum-mixer/) was developed to offer an even mix of material through any drum. The EvenMix® can be used in a variety of ways. In addition, we put our drum bung mixer up against several industry-leading models. As a result, the EvenMix® drum mixer outperforms all others!
## Instructions on How To Use our Bung Mixer
1. Insert your mixing shaft into the Drum Bung (including the SS reducer)
2. Insert the mixing shaft into the output of the Drive and tighten the Through Bolt.
3. Attach the Drum Bung Fitting to the Drive.
4. Insert the assembled mixer into Drum, ensuring it fits snugly inside the hole. It should be noted that the fitting is intended to hook within the drum bung.
5. These mixers are suitable for both plastic and steel drums, making them universal and easy for most of our clients.
6. Use the adjustable bolt to secure the container. It will provide a secure grasp on the steel or plastic drum between the handle and the hook.
7. To remove, pull out of Drum after releasing the handle.
It is that simple. This process can be performed by one person. However, our competition’s mixers are far heavier and more awkward. That was one of the issues we worked hard to resolve. With the average mixer weighing 25-100 lbs, we saw this as a problem and looked for a solution. Our mixers weigh 12lbs or less, making them easy to change out from one drum to the next.
## Design of an Electric Drive with a Mixer
EvenMix® drum mixers with our Air Motor or Electric Motor, our clients have options. They can use this mixer in a wide variety of materials, even the super thick. As proven in various rigorous industry tests, strategically placed mixing blades create horizontal and vertical flow patterns. The results are astounding!
## Air Drive Drum Mixer in a 55 Gallon Drum
The EvenMix® System has a wide range of applications, including viscous materials, slurries, liquids, and powders. As long as the drum has a steel lid with a center bung, we may include our mixers in BOTH [plastic and steel drums](https://www.airseacontainers.com/blog/plastic-vs-steel-drum/). They can also be used on any drum with an interior diameter of at least 18′′.
## Drum Dimensions
Drum mixers from EvenMix® are designed to function in 1-gallon through 55-gallon drums. These mixers can agitate materials ranging in viscosity from high to low. EvenMix® drum mixers are suited for laboratory or industrial use, as well as plastic barrels, drums, and pails. It also mixes in custom mixing vessels, IBCs, totes, and 55-gallon drums. Our mixing blades may fit within openings as little as two ′′ and as large as you need (with mounting accessories).
## Open Head Drum - Drum Mixing
The EvenMix® Open Head Drum Mixer has the option of foldable or fixed blades. Both configurations are capable of withstanding 800-inch pounds of force. When using the EvenMix® with an Open Head Drum, you may effortlessly add liquid and remove combined liquids from the drum.
## Mixer for Closed Head Drums
We have created a game-changing invention with our Closed Head Drums Mixer. Our 15″ folding blade was designed to fit through the hole of the barrel or bung while keeping the lid closed. To drive the folding mixing blad through the drum’s middle, we offer a Mounting Bracket that supports the electric or air motor. If you have any questions, please contact us. We created it to address market problems.
## Open Head Drum - Mixing Blade Only
You can utilize the mixing blade and Air or Electric Drive individually on the EvenMix® Anti-Contamination Mixer. Several distinct mixing blades (mounted in separate lids) can be driven by a single motor. The Nylon fitting on the Anti-Contamination Mixer allows it to function independently of the Air or Electric Drive. To connect the Drive to the Blades, screw it onto the Nylon Fitting. The Drive and the Blade will be activated.
## Pinless Mixing Blades (Installed at the Drum Manufacturer)
EvenMix® Pinless Mixer has demonstrated outstanding mixing performance in any type of drum without the use of a pin. It’s groundbreaking for the drum industry! It can also be used in a 55-gallon drum with a drum liner.
The EvenMix® drum mixer is designed to mix even the heaviest ingredients evenly across a drum. It spread sand to the same grain count in all quadrants of a 55-gallon drum in repeated tests. It is powder coated for thorough coating of the mixing blade and improved rust resistance.
When it comes to the installation of our EvenMix® mixers, we have thought of it all. Our mixers are some of the very best on the market in performance and usability. We wanted to develop a mixer that we would be proud of and believe we have. If you are looking for a bung-hole mixer and haven’t checked out ours, you are missing out.

### [How to Assemble - Open Top Container](https://evenmix.com/how-to-assemble-open-top-container/)
**Published:** December 6, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Our open-top container mixers are designed and manufactured in the United States. These can be IBC tote mixer or drum mixer options. When you purchase an EvenMix® mixer, you can be confident that it will be delivered on time. When the product is made in the same country, you don’t have to worry about customs or getting held up at the border. This is just one more way to buy the best mixer on the market. It only makes sense.
Evenmix® is not just any open-top container industrial mixer. It is a mixer of nothing but our standing quality. There is no need to worry about being stopped at customs. Another benefit of Made in the USA is that you can contact us immediately for help. We are familiar with our mixers and can assist you if there is a problem. There is no communication breakdown or major time difference to worry about.
Our customer service, production, and design departments are all in the United States. This allows us to produce a superior product that will satisfy everyone in terms of quality. Our open-top drum mixer systems were designed, developed, and manufactured in Cleveland. We have successfully perfected our systems and made them the best they could be. This was accomplished with the h lp of a NASA engineer! The durability and longevity of our tote mixer units are two of our most valued advantages.
## Installing an Open Top EvenMix® Mixer
So, you have decided to purchase one of our open-top mixers and need a little instruction on how to use it. This video will show you how to install the EvenMix® Open Top Mixer into your Open Top Container.
1. Insert your mixing shaft into the Open Top Bracket
2. Insert the mixing shaft into the output f the Drive and tighten the Through Bolt.
3. Secure the Open Top Bracket to the Drive.
4. Ins rt Mixer into the container
5. Tighten the screw to keep it in place on the container.

7. To remove, unfasten the bra et and pull the Container out.
If you have any questions, please contact us at EvenMix®. Our support staff is always ready and willing to help in any way they can.
Many mixer users have been looking for the ideal clamp-mounted mixers to meet all of their requirements. However, many of today’s typical clamp mount mixers are known to be expensive, inefficient, and heavy. With our unique IBC tote mixer options, EvenMix® is redefining the game.
We created a Clamp Mount that simply connects to open containers of all shapes and sizes. Our strong engineering guarantees consumers high-powered execution and long-term quality. We take pride in creating lightweight mixers and drives that require less exertion to operate than competitors. With the assistance of a NASA Engineer, we could perfect our mixing technology and deliver the finest mixing experience to our customers.
## The Open Tank Top Mixer in Action
As previously stated, many open-top mixers are difficult to operate due to their design. We have examined the pain areas of these mixers and taken steps to address them through technological advancements.
When working with an open-top container, attach the EvenMix® Clamp Mount to the side of the container and insert the shaft and blades into the mixture. Because our electric and air drives weigh only 12 and 9 pounds, attaching the clamp is straightforward and easy. With some tightening and adjusting, the clamp secures tightly to the container. See the instructions above.
The variable speed control spans from 1 to 20 using our innovative Electric Geared Digital Drive. If necessary, the slow start mode can be utilized to gently ramp up the mixing process. The digital speed control ranges from 40 to 150 RPM in seconds. When the mixing is finished, the clamp may be easily removed and transported by one person. It doesn’t weigh 100s of lbs like those other mixers. That was a pain point we worked out through our innovation. We wanted a mixer that not only was the best on the market for mixing but lightweight.
## Diverse Mixing Features are the Future of Industrial Mixing
EvenMix®’s solution is basic, with fewer elements than most mixers and even fewer things that could go wrong. Furthermore, users can mix and match their drives with the mixers or drums they use. It is a versatile system. This is why so many love the Evenmix®. No matter what type of container you are using or what material you need mixed, we have a solution for you. Call 440-236-6677 today to get started.
Furthermore, EvenMix®’s exceptional customer service for mixers and tote mixers is unrivaled. Everything from new blades to drives and supporting parts is readily available. Businesses save time and money by choosing a company that manufactures and designs all of its own products. We fully understand our systems and can help you should an issue arise. Call 440-236-6677 anytime.
We continue to work with our clients after their original purchase to guarantee that all of our products continue to function effectively. Take a peek at some of our prior articles and instructional mixing videos. Make combining as simple as possible with our newest developments.
## Advantages of Using EvenMix®
After receiving their Evenmix®, our customers will begin to realize a few more benefits. One of these advantages is the amount of energy consumed. When in use, our mixers consume extremely little energy. They consume roughly the same amount of energy as a ceiling fan. They plug into a conventional wall outlet with three prongs and run on 120 volts. Given their ability to mix in so many containers and viscosities, that’s quite astounding. But did we mention that they not only mix but also mix very evenly due to the revolutionary blade design?
When our customers first use EvenMix®, they understand it’s not just another industrial mixer. This mixer has a lot of power, is energy efficient, light, and mixes very evenly. It makes no difference if the container is an open container, drum, or IBC. EvenMix® will astound you with its capacity to mix the material all the way down to the bottom and into the most remote places.
When you see EvenMix® in action, you’ll wonder how we did it. This is fairly frequent because many individuals have tried many different mixers that claim to be the finest, but in reality, many fall short in key areas. Call 440-236-6677 today!

### [EvenMix® Was Awarded #1 in "Weatherhead 100 Upstarts" for 2022](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-award-weatherhead-100-upstarts-2022/)
**Published:** December 20, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
*EvenMix® was recently awarded the 2022 #1 Weatherhead 100 Upstarts. The company is known for its state-of-the-art mixing technology. The patented mixing technology is poised to revolutionize the traditional mixing industry.*
Cleveland – Weatherhead announced its list of 100 Upstarts in 2022, out of which EvenMix® ranks #1. Being awarded #1 means that EvenMix® has the highest rate of growth among its peers. EvenMix® has been growing at this rate for several years and is a successful industrial mixing business, having sold thousands of units since their introduction of the variable pitch blades in 2015.
While executing their successful strategy, [EvenMix®](https://evenmix.com/) can manufacture their Tote and IBC mixers in-house and within the United States. However, the company’s mixers have been purchased by buyers from every continent, with many business owners overseas and at home seeing the benefit of the company’s technology and design.
EvenMix® is consistently working on adapting its products to the latest industry trends. For instance, while overall sales for IBC and tote mixers may have been low during the pandemic, EvenMix® saw sales double with their air mixers being used as mixers for hand sanitizer formulation. The explosion in demand for hand sanitizers meant that many businesses had greatly increased their production and thus needed lightweight, easy-to-use tote mixers. The modified mixers sold like hotcakes, which meant EvenMix® didn’t experience the slowdown in sales that other industrial mixer manufacturers reported but instead reported strong growth.
Unlike traditional tote and IBC mixers, using aerospace technology means that EvenMix®ers are light, easy to use, and can be easily modified. The heart of the mixing technology is the variable-pitched blades. These blades are lightweight yet provide powerful mixing, ensuring that regardless of the viscosity, these blades offer a consistent mix. Most of all, the energy needed to arrive at the evenly mixed product is significantly less.
Readers can learn more about EvenMix® and its industrial, tote, and drum mixers by visiting the company’s official website at <https://evenmix.com/>.
To be eligible for the [Weatherhead 100 award](https://weatherhead.case.edu/events/weatherhead100/upstarts2022), a company must meet the following criteria:
- Be headquartered in Northeast Ohio.
- Be privately held.
- Have at least $1 million in revenue annually.
If a company meets these criteria, it is eligible to be considered for the Weatherhead 100 award. The award is given to the 100 fastest-growing companies in Northeast Ohio based on a percentage of revenue growth over five years. The awards ceremony is typically held in the fall and is attended by leaders in the entrepreneurship community, including investors and academics.
*“EvenMix® is proud to receive the Weatherhead 100 Upstarts Award. We have worked hard over the years, and our team comprises the most experienced professionals in the business. This year we were up against some stiff competition and are very proud of our team to be awarded the #1 spot. This motivates us to grow the business further and verifies what we’ve known all along, i.e., traditional industrial mixers need to be upgraded and updated to use the latest technology.”* Said Phil Rankin, Founder of EvenMix®.
He added, *“This has taken a lot of hard work, all-nighters and committed team members, but at the end of it all, this was worth it.”*
**About EvenMix®**
[EvenMix®](https://evenmix.com) is best known for using the [latest technology](https://apnews.com/press-release/kisspr/technology-c2946397acc085ca26b2969f7a1e96fa) and aerospace engineering design to build pump technology and state-of-the-art variable pitch blades, bring true mixing technology to the market.

### [EvenMix® Case Study: GCI Turf Services](https://evenmix.com/case-study-gci-turf-services/)
**Published:** February 21, 2023
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
When it comes to mixing, EvenMix® is one of the best on the market. While we have been saying this for years and shouting it from the rooftops, we decided that we’d take a minute to speak with someone who uses our mixers in their industry. While we know we offer amazing tank and IBC Tote Mixer options, speaking with someone that utilizes them daily is actually how our tote, IBC, and drum mixers actually came to fruition.
We work hard to design a mixer with our customers in mind. Something easy to move around, lightweight, but yet would do a fine job at mixing at the same time. We spoke with people, just like those at [GCI Turf services](https://gciturfservices.com/), before we attempted to [build the best tank mixer](https://evenmix.com/tank-mixer/) on the market. But, t n again, you don’t have to take our word for it. We have conducted an interview with GCI turf services. Let’s s e what they had to say about things.
## GCI Turf and EvenMix®
The business of GCI turf services is growing, and spring is on the way. They are busier than ever getting ready for the upcoming season. We sat down and spoke with Pete Denny to find out what they think of and how they use EvenMix®.
They are currently using old and newer versions o our tank mixer. The older model isn’t digital but still works great for their needs. Soon, they will be using one in a tank that is 2500 gallons, which is scheduled to be set up in a couple of weeks.
Pete goes on to speak about how easy it is to use the EvenMix® and move it between totes. The convenience of this mixer is one of the reasons that many people choose it as their go-to for their industrial mixer needs. Our patented mixing blades thoroughly mix whatever substance you are looking to mix. Furthermore, one mixer can be utilized throughout the plant, as they are easy to move around. Pete goes on to speak about this and how it is easy to unscrew the handles and move the bridge and mix the next tote. Super convenient and easily done due to the mixer’s weight and size.
GCI used to use a stick with a pump on the end to mix, but not anymore. They love the convenience and ease of use they get with their EvenMix® tank mixer, and we are sure you will too. Let’s take a look at some of the great features we are designed into the EvenMix®.
## Take Advantage of an EvenMix® Mixer's Extensive Capabilities
When we first started looking into industrial mixers, we knew there was a lot of room for improvement. The market was missing a mixer that could handle mixing thoroughly and be lightweight and easy to use. Our goal was to improve upon every aspect brought to us during our research. We needed to improve the mixing performance, weight, and energy consumption, to name a few. Most designers would work to simply improve one area, but our team worked to build a mixer that would revolutionize the industry. This mixer offers multiple modes for improved performance, is energy efficient, and is lightweight.
We’ve even gone so far as to make our digital drive mixer water and dustproof. With our mixers being utilized in a variety of industries, it needed to be built to withstand everything our clients could throw at them. That’s why we kept everyone in mind during our design process. We set out to produce the best industrial mixer on the market.
## Industry Applications for an Evenmix® Mixer
We can all agree that industrial mixers are not all created equal. Some mixers perform far better than others. [EvenMix®](https://evenmix.com/) is one of these machines. Our innovative blade design and cutting-edge technology ensure that your combination is evenly blended regardless of viscosity. Our mixers are built to mix in an IBC tote, drum, or tank, and we also have clamp-mount mixers that can be put on the side of almost any container. These mixers are ideal for a wide range of industries, including:
- Polymer resin and adhesive
- Water treatment
- CBD
- Personal care products such as lotions
- Lawn and Tree Fertilizer
- Oil, Gas, and Mining Industries
- Paint, ink, and coatings
- Chemicals
- Beverages
- Agriculture
- More
Most mixers are large and heavy, and they don’t mix very well. However, we took this into consideration. As with GCI Turf, most of our customers wanted a mixer that could easily be changed from one tote to the next. As we have stated before, when we decided to enter the industry, we took time to research what was needed. We spoke to people that used these mixers day in and day out. Our team of experts would listen to issues they would bring up, and the weight was one of the largest complaints.
Many industrial tote mixers are very heavy and bulky. In fact, most of the time, a forklift was needed to move the mixer between totes. It would be so complicated that they would dread moving the machine. But, with EvenMix®, you don’t have that problem.
## What Sets EvenMix® Apart?
While we have discussed the amazing weight, ease of moving, and improved overall performance, we need to point out one other very important part of the EvenMix®, its patented blade design.
The large surface area of our blade improves mixing. This blade was custom designs to our exact specifications and patented. Our blades mix like no other on the market but don’t take our word for it. Take the time to check our customer reviews!
## Built, Designed, and Serviced in the US
Furthermore, our mixers are designed and built in the United States. With EvenMix®, there is no need to worry about customs or shipping delays. Another benefit of Made in the USA is that you can contact us anytime for assistance. We understand our mixers and can help if there is an issue. There is no communication gap or large time difference to be concerned about. Furthermore, there won’t be a language barrier. We have replacement parts that we can send out should something break. Our mixers are very robust. However, things do break down from time to time. When that happens, we are there for you!
Having our factory, design house, and customer service all in-house in the US allows us to produce a superior product. We can discuss issues our customer service is seeing and improve on our design. However, as you can see with GCI, our older models are still in use for many of our customers because they are built that well. Call today and let us help you get the IBC tote mixer you’ve been needing for your industrial application.

### [How EvenMix® Will Improve Product Quality](https://evenmix.com/how-evenmix-improves-product-quality/)
**Published:** March 21, 2023
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
You have probably heard of EvenMix® and how our mixers have revolutionized the industry. However, did you ever think of how it could help you achieve better customer satisfaction all the way down the line?
When you are producing and manufacturing your liquid products, you have come to realize that EvenMix® mixes differently. The quality of the mix is something that simply can not be matched. In fact, it is one of the key components of your entire process that produces the quality you have come to recognize due to the fact that you utilize such a high-quality mixer such as EvenMix®.
However, as you ship out your liquid product, you know that settlement will happen. This is inevitable. As your product goes through quality inspection, whatever it may be, it passes with flying colors, and everything is mixed evenly. The product has the consistency expected and the properties it is meant to have. However, it oftentimes is moved to storage, then shipment, and then storage at your customer’s facility. Even if you skip storage and work on a Just in Time model, there is still some settling and separation that can completely affect how your product performs in your customer’s hand.
This settling can cause some issues with quality and production at your customer’s level. While settling is just a part of working with a liquid, you don’t want your customer to be unsatisfied, so what do you do?
## Changing the Way You Ship
Change the way you ship! Okay, you are probably thinking about ways you could change how you ship. Maybe even a cement truck comes to mind. However, that’s not exactly what we mean. You still would ship your product in the containers that you always have. However, this time there will be a surprise inside. That surprise will be an EvenMix® blade.
When you ship your product to your customer, you probably all know that it will need to be mixed. That’s on them. However, they are complaining that your quality isn’t consistent and there are issues with it. You are confused since your quality checks tell you otherwise. You start to think of ways that could be changing the product in storage and transit. Again, we all know the product settles, so they must mix it back up. You tell them this, and they agree and let you know they have been mixing it. However, with what level and type of mixer?
Have you ever thought about your customer’s mixer? That’s probably a key component in why you are getting a nice even mix that is testing correct for everything, and they are saying it’s not high quality or consistent. The difference? The mixer!
## Changing the Mixer
Most people don’t believe that a mixer can make THAT much of a difference until they try it. Remember how EvenMix® set out to change the industrial mixer? Well, we have. However, it is still hard for some to believe that a mixer has this much control over the quality of the mix, and it does! Our mixers are designed to work with IBC totes or barrels and get down in those corners where things tend to settle. The other mixers don’t provide such an even mix, which means that the product won’t be consistent.
Our solution, send an EvenMix® blade in your product. Your customer can then use their mixer to mix it and see if there really is a difference for themselves. This has changed many people’s perspectives and solved many issues with settling. Why not try it?

### [EvenMix® or Easy Mix](https://evenmix.com/easy-mix/)
**Published:** May 16, 2023
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Many of our new customers really don’t believe us when we say we set out to change the tank mixer world with our EvenMix® design. Sure, we can say all the great things that EvenMix® offers, but until they actually experience it, they don’t understand. In some cases, we get calls from shocked buyers, telling us that they had literally no idea how our mixers are night and day from anything they had ever used as a tank mixer or IBC tote mixer. The mixer is so lightweight. Surely it will break easily, but nope. In fact, the mixers are made to endure up to 800 inch pounds of force, which is suitable for just about any operation. Yes, it is lightweight, but it is strong too!
Have we mentioned that we have a [NASA engineer on staff](https://evenmix.com/about/)? That’s one of our secrets to engineering something so powerful yet very moveable. In fact, the mixers weigh less than 15 lbs. That’s right, no more trying to find a buddy to help move your tank and IBC mixer. Employees can now easily move it without worrying about injury.
## Moving EvenMix®
Furthermore, our mixers were designed to be moved between [different IBC totes and drums](https://evenmix.com/shop/) with ease. After some industry research, we saw that there was a huge need for improvement in the industrial mixer department. The mixers on the market were costly, heavy, and didn’t mix as evenly as they should. We set out to build an industrial mixer that was different. This mixer was called EvenMix® because of its patented blades.
These blades allow the mixer to get into all corners of the container, no matter what the container type is, even IBCs. Furthermore, its patented design is like nothing you have ever seen before. It is made with a variable pitch and was designed to mix just about any viscosity evenly and with ease.
After receiving their own EvenMix®, customers are immediately impressed by its superior quality. Customers who have previously used a mixer are often impressed by how quickly the EvenMix® thoroughly mixes the container. However, they are most impressed by how thoroughly the EvenMix® mixes contents throughout the entire container, including the bottom and the farthest corners, of any size IBC, Drum, or Open Container.
How does EvenMix® do it? Our patented design for the blade used in the EvenMix® generates circulation. According to the feedback we’ve received, this blade is unlike any other on the market. That’s exactly what we set out to do!
## Benefits of Using EvenMix®
Different types of EvenMix® mixers are available. Consider EvenMix® if you need a new mixer that can be moved without a forklift or more than one person. The revolutionary EvenMix® mixer weighs under 15 lbs, making it easy for anyone to transport it from one container to another. In addition, its patented blades enable rapid, uniform mixing of any substance. Furthermore, a 120V outlet is all you need to power it up, utilizing only [4 amps](https://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/Amp_to_Watt_Calculator.html). Don’t let its little power consumption make you think that it doesn’t have power. Remember, it can handle up to 800 clinch pounds. Whatever you try to mix or the viscosity of the material, EvenMix® can handle the job!
Your EvenMix® mixer can be adjusted to one of four different settings. Since our customers come from a wide range of industries, they have varying needs. We understood that and tried to design a mixer that would revolutionize the industry. We took into account the various applications that industrial mixers are utilized in. Our team of experts worked hard on this design to ensure that every aspect was an improvement to what was out on the market at the time. We further our standing in the industry by working to improve on what we have already designed and built as technology permits.

### [EvenMix® Versatile Mixers](https://evenmix.com/versatile-mixers/)
**Published:** June 20, 2023
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
At EvenMix®, we have thought of everything from the robust design and patented EvenMix® blades right down to trying to help out clients with cost savings. Small and medium businesses can’t always afford a variety of mixers to mix in different containers. These mixers are quite an investment. While they will last for many years to come, we understand that budgets are tight, and that’s why we set out to make a mixer that could be a tank mixer, IBC Tote mixer, drum mixer, and more. [Our team of engineers](https://evenmix.com/about/) tried to find things that were not the norm on the market but should be. We took the time to improve the industrial mixer in almost every fashion, including making it versatile.
## Our Mixers Outperform Any Other Industrial Mixer on the Market
Our mixers can work with just about any container and viscosity of the material. Furthermore, they are made up of different interchangeable components to meet the needs of our clients. This allows you to purchase the components you need without purchasing a new mixer. These components are only a few hundred dollars. This allows small business owners to have the equipment they need at an affordable rate. Furthermore, our mixers were designed with weight in mind. We have made mixers that not only outperform just about everything on the market but also make them work under many different conditions.
This allows our customers to have a mixer that can be efficiently utilized all over the shop. This saves you money and time. Having one mixer that can do it all is perfect for small and medium businesses that don’t have the capital for multiple mixing machines. But, it has been utilized in larger operations as well. This mixer is very versatile and can be changed out within a matter of minutes by just one person. They weigh less than 15 lbs, making it easy to move from one end of the building to the other by only one employee.
## Robust Mixing Capabilities
Not only are they versatile, being capable of being a tank mixer, IBC tote mixer, drum mixer, and more. They are also robust enough to handle just about any viscosity of fluids. This means you can mix the different materials with just one mixer, from something as fluid as water to something denser such as melted chocolate. This allows companies to utilize the same mixer for various materials. You can even get interchangeable shafts, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning. Different blade setups are available for the [different jobs it might face](https://evenmix.com/selecting-the-right-mixer/). These shafts are far less expensive than buying an entirely new unit and allow your employees to save time and money. Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about cross-contamination!
## The History Behind EvenMix®
When EvenMix® first set out, we decided that we wanted to make a huge impact on the industrial mixing world. It was time for some upgrades to what options there were on the market. We worked with our team of engineers, including a NASA engineer, to study the market and find areas that could be improved upon. To our surprise, there were a number of areas where industrial mixers were failing. The mixers on the market were bulky, heavy, and cumbersome and didn’t allow for interchangeable parts. In fact, some were so heavy they needed a forklift to move them. This isn’t ideal for small businesses trying to get things done.
Furthermore, the other mixers couldn’t evenly mix anything. They couldn’t be tank mixers, IBC mixers, barrel mixers, and more. They were designed for one job and one job only. That’s not very economical for a company. We understood that the industry needed something better to offer these manufacturers. That’preciselyly what we set out to do.
Our team went to work to [design a blade](https://evenmix.com/how-do-mixing-blades-work/) that would perfectly mix inside a tote, drum, or barrel. We wanted something lightweight enough that people on the floor could easily move it from one container to the next. Our goal was also to provide our clients with a mixer that would outperform anything they have ever seen on the market, and we have reached that goal.

### [How to Safely Mix Farm Fertilizers: Also Known As Slurries](https://evenmix.com/how-to-safely-mix-farm-fertilizers-also-known-as-slurries/)
**Published:** April 19, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Slurries are among the many things that you can combine with an **Even** **Mix** mixer. Our IBC tote mixers, drum mixers, and pail mixers are all strong enough to handle this combination of liquids and solid. However, some slurries are safer to mix than others. Things like the slurry that becomes concrete is far safer to work with than farm fertilizers. After all, some of the ingredients in those fertilizers can be rather combustive. Since our mixers were created to make your life a little easier, here are some tips for mixing these combustive slurries in a safe manner.
**1) Take Safety Precautions around Others**
In order to ensure that you’re mixing your fertilizer slurry safely, you’ll need to follow some standard safety procedures. These include emptying out the space that the mixing will take place in. You don’t want anyone around you just in case things, well, go south. This means that any animals (if you’re mixing in a barn) or people, need to steer clear.
**2) Set up The Mixer and Then Leave the Structure**
The best thing about our mixers is the fact that they’ll do the job on their own. You just need to set the process in motion. The mixers are designed to get every bit of the slurry fully combined (including anything that may have settled at the corners of your square containers) without any adjusting. They move on their own. So, you can set the [mixer in your tote](https://evenmix.com/using-tote-mixer-for-adhesives-sealants/) or drum, turn it on, and then leave. You won’t have to worry about fumes or anything else if you’re outside of the mixing space.
**3) Make Sure That Air Can Enter the Space**
While you don’t want to stand downwind of the mixing room – or even in it when the mixing is in progress – you do need to make sure that air can get in so that you can enter the space afterward. This means that you’ll have to open a door or window (or even several) to ensure that there’s a continuous flow of air. In fact, it’s ideal to do this type of mixing on a windy day.
**4) Use The Buddy System**
It’s always a good idea to let someone else know when you’re going to mix your fertilizer. This way, in case something happens, you aren’t alone in that part of the property. The other person should be a safe distance away, but close to enough to keep an eye on you.

### [EvenMix® Energy Usage](https://evenmix.com/mixer-energy-use/)
**Published:** August 17, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Finding a Tote Mixer, IBC tote mixer, drum mixer, or industrial mixer that is up to par with EvenMix® is going to be next to impossible. Our research and development team has a former NASA engineer on it. This means that we have some of the best attributes for EvenMix®. This ensures that our customers get the [best possible mixer](https://evenmix.com/electric-or-air-motor/) on the market.
Our goal is to ensure that every one of our products is as lightweight as possible. While we also want to maintain a high level of performance at the same time. Our EvenMix® mixers are designed to be robust and use as little energy as possible. Let’s look at the energy used by the EvenMix® Air and Electric Drives. In addition to the amount of power, these drives generate compared to other types of drives.
The price of energy is continuing to rise. It is imperative that everyone is mindful of the amount of [energy they use](https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/technical-documents/tutorials/4/4448.html#:~:text=As%20every%20engineer%20knows%2C%20energy,have%20the%20total%20energy%20cost.). We understand that. That’s why we took it very seriously when we decided it was time to design our EvenMix® mixer. Our electric drive mixer uses a maximum of 4 Amps, whereas most similar products require 12 Amps. To give you an idea of the difference, a portable pizza oven uses 12 amps, and a ceiling fan will use around 4 amps. That is a big difference. EvenMix® uses only one-third of the energy that others will use.
## **Uses Little Power but Packs a Punch**
With such little energy consumption, you would think that you would be giving up some power. However, EvenMix® [produces 30 NM of torque](https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/torque#:~:text=The%20magnitude%20of%20torque%20is,is%20%5BM%C2%B9L%C2%B2T%E2%81%BB%C2%B2%5D.), which is equivalent to 22 Ft. Lbs. That’s not the case. In fact, the majority of other mixers only produce 20 NM (15 Ft. Lbs.). That’s right, EvenMix® produces 50% more torque with only a third of the amount of energy. That’s what happens when we at EvenMix® set out to improve upon something.
We took the time to study every aspect of the mixers and find out what needed improvement. Our goal when we first started development was to bring to market a mixer that could outperform all others. We wanted something lightweight and energy-efficient that wouldn’t give up the power needed for the toughest mixing jobs. Our team had goals, which have been met and exceeded most of our customers’ expectations. While we have a very powerful, energy-efficient, affordable, and long-lasting mixer, many people can’t believe it hits every expectation and want on their list.
## **EvenMix® is Lightweight and Durable**
The old mixers were very heavy. In fact, most were 25 – 100 lb heavy. This meant the operators would have to get a forklift to move them. However, because of the superior engineering, EvenMix® Mixers are only 9-12 lbs. This makes things much more straightforward for our workers and will help eliminate potential safety concerns.
Sure, our electric motors are some of the best and most efficient on the market, but let’s talk about our pneumatic motors, which use about 13CFM. The majority of other mixers on the market will use 30 CFM. This power generation is equivalent to electric 30 NM, whereas that of our competitors is only equivalent to 20 NM. Once again, only one-third of the energy was used, but the torque produced was increased by one-half. Pretty incredible, isn’t it? That is what happens when you have a powerful team of powerful engineers working for you.
## **Other Factors That Make EvenMix® Superior**
Another important factor to consider when upgrading to an EvenMix® mixer is the fact that they are made in the USA. Both in terms of design and construction, as well as the research and development, are all done right here in the states. Our tote mixing systems were designed and developed in Cleveland, where they are also manufactured. We have been able to perfect our systems and make them the very best they can be with the assistance of an engineer who worked with NASA. You can’t go wrong when investing in an EvenMix® mixer for your industrial needs.
As you can see, not all industrial mixers are designed alike. When EvenMix® was first starting out, we knew there was a place in the market for improvement. Even at our humble beginnings, we didn’t realize how much improvement we could do. But, over time and research, we not only have found ways to take out the need for more power without compromising the strength of the mixer, but we also developed a patented blade design that will mix more evenly than ever before. No need to worry if the mixer will reach the very bottom or in the corners. Our blades will stir in a 3D fashion, allowing everything to stir together more evenly.
## **Advantages of Using EvenMix® Mixer**
The EvenMix® Mixer is a robust device that is also lightweight and simple to operate. We built the mixing system to be durable enough to withstand even the most difficult mixing scenarios. We also took into account the weight, so at the same time that you are getting overwhelming power, you are also getting a lightweight mixer to move by a single person.
The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer system is built to last, is highly effective, and can be relied upon. The design, which has won multiple awards, is the most efficient of its kind.
EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixers are constructed from reinforced steel and are designed to bear a force of 800-inch pounds. Powder Coat Epoxy, a type of coating utilized in the industry’s most demanding applications, has been applied to the 316 stainless steel. This steel has properties that allow it to not react chemically to the substances being mixed. Because EvenMix® is built to mix consistently throughout a batch, you can reduce the amount of raw material used and save money. This is because the materials are mixed evenly throughout the container.
The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer is built to ensure that materials are distributed uniformly throughout an IBC. Both the design and the contour of the mixing blades which are one-of-a-kind. They fold up to be able to fit through the opening of 6 inches, then unfold to uniformly distribute the contents of the IBC throughout the container.From the energy savings to the powerful motors, ease of use, and consistent mixing, you simply cannot go wrong with [EvenMix®](https://evenmix.com).

### [Selecting the Right Mixer](https://evenmix.com/selecting-the-right-mixer/)
**Published:** July 5, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
# Selecting the Right Mixer
When creating goods for the chemical, bakery, nutrition, or food industries, you will almost certainly need to combine a variety of liquid with liquid materials. Blending is the most significant step in most applications for increasing the product’s value. Some of them may constitute an allergy risk when working with a diverse variety of ingredients. You must take into account what you are mixing and why you are mixing it. But, it is also important that you look at how easy it is to change out and move the mixer. These are all things to take into consideration when you are looking at purchasing industrial mixers for your business.
The most crucial consideration is whether to manufacture in batches or continually. Certain blender types will be more suited to your application if you need to swap recipes regularly or manufacture the same product day after day. We offer a wide selection of mixer options with various tools that can change that blender into something that works for you.
## Why Choose an EvenMix® Mixer
The [EvenMix® Mixer](https://evenmix.com/) is perfect as it is versatile but easy to move around due to its lightweight nature. The most common issue is figuring out what is best and providing the power it will need. This could be either electric or pneumatic. When using a mixer, it is up to the customer to decide what type of mixer is best for their application. While EvenMix® is great for applications in batches or continuous, it is also the ideal choice for those looking for an even mix. Our patented mixers are made to assist with industrial mixing in a variety of container types as well.
The type of container is also a critical consideration. For example, you can have a 55-gallon drum that your materials are mixed in. These drums are very common and very easy to work with. They can be easily moved around and stored, but some mixers struggle to give a good even mix within the container. However, with our patented blade design, you have nothing to worry about.
While a drum is a widespread way to mix products, different ways to access the drum should be considered. Some drum tops will come completely off, leaving a big open area to work with, while others only have a [2” hole on the top](https://culinarysolvent.com/blogs/ethanol/what-is-the-thread-size-for-my-55-gallon-drum-of-culinary-solvent). Some mixer companies struggle with offering different types of mixers for the different types of drums, but not us. Even mix offers a wide selection of accessories and mounting options to help our customers get a mixer that will meet their exact specifications.
## Do you need to combine many products?
Suppose you simply need to manufacture one recipe in a big volume with no regular changes. In that case, you should process continuously with a fixed mixer tied to the upstream and downstream processes. However, as more businesses discover that consumers want recipe variety, modifications must be performed swiftly and efficiently. If you find that you need to change recipes and use different ingredients frequently, batch processing is the best way to go. In both situations, EvenMix® mixers are perfect for your applications.
## The Size of the Batch Being Manufactured
If your customers always demand the same order sizes, a fixed mixer may be sufficient until different batch sizes are necessary. Because the mixing is done in the Intermediate Bulk Container when using an EvenMix® Mixer, you will be able to blend a variety of batch sizes in one blender (IBC). This allows you to select the appropriate container size while minimizing downtime.
### Mixing in an IBC
If you are looking at blending inside an IBC, you will need a 32” shaft, which will work with a 330 or 275-gallon IBC without any issues. Our mixers are designed to mix inside the IBCs and allow a nice even mix each and every time, after all, even mix is in our name.
If the viscosity has under [4000 centipoises](https://www.cstsales.com/viscosity.html), you can do this with just one set of blades. However, if you are mixing a mix that has a higher viscosity, you’ll need two sets of blades. These blades will have to be set 13-15 inches apart, allowing them to work together to provide you with an even mix by circulating inside the container. You can select an IBC bridge if you want to add various additives during mixing or watch the mixing going on inside the container. To take your mixer options one step further, we also offer a clamp that will clamp the mixer onto the side of the container. This will allow the mixer to mix at a 15-35 degree angle.
## Mixing in Large Containers
For larger containers that are IBC up to 10,000 gallons, you might want to consider one of the larger options with a longer shaft. We offer a 72-inch shaft for this sort of situation that works three blades at once, giving you an even mix right inside your container. This method will work with 2000 centipoise or fewer materials using this type of setup.
With an EvenMix®er, as you can see, you have many options that work with what containers you have on hand. With our endless possibilities of accessories, we can design a mixer that will work with your current situation. We even offer bendable blades so that they can fit inside those 2” holes with no issues. When it comes to mixing, EvenMix® has thought of everything to make it easy and consistent. If you are looking for a way to improve your mixing and aren’t quite sure if it is possible, give us a call. We have come up with customized solutions for all sorts of different operations that allow our clients to enjoy the benefits of having an even mix every time.
Selecting the right mixer for your application has never been easier. Speak with one of our customer representatives about your application, and we’ll see what we can come up with. Our mixers come in various designs with various tools to meet the needs of our clients. We take mixing seriously at EvenMix®. [Call 440-236-6677 today](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/)!

### [EvenMix® - How do EvenMix® Blades Work](https://evenmix.com/how-do-mixing-blades-work/)
**Published:** June 9, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Have you been frustrated with your mixer and just know there has to be something better on the market? EvenMix® founders were, too, so we set out to build the industry standard. We worked hard to develop a mixer that will allow our customers to get that perfect even mix they have been looking for every time. The quality of your product depends on mixing it, and that’s why you shouldn’t settle for anything less than an EvenMix®.
Let’s start by looking at the industry and determining how most mixers work. Most make use of a fixed and small boat propeller blade, and other mixer blades feature a fixed pitch blade that draws air into the liquid by creating a vertical lift and vortex.
EvenMix® developed innovative blades with changeable pitch. This blade starts at 30° and works its way up to 90°. This bend is essential for generating both [horizontal dispersion](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0011747170900598) and vertical lift of liquid, resulting in a 3-D circulation and mixing action within the container.
Our blades rotate counter-clockwise, allowing them to sweep the bottom of the container while they mix, moving liquid up the sides to the top and back down the center. For most materials, this convection action results in superior even mixing.
Because we don’t want to suck air into the mix, shear your liquid or generate a vortex, our mixers have a maximum speed of about 150 RPMs, sufficient for most applications. Most commercial mixers only combine vertically, shear the product’s molecules, mix at significantly greater rates, and frequently inject air into the liquid.
We have patented our blades because of their unique properties and full 3-D mixing.
## **Design of a Tank Mixer**
EvenMix® [Tank mixing systems](https://evenmix.com/tank-mixer/) are utilized in various industries, and our technology has been refined to accommodate some of the most complex mixes.
EvenMix® Tank Mixers are built to be efficient and dependable. Your materials will consistently mix and circulate thanks to our innovative EvenMix® blades with variable pitch.
Our tank mixers are available in various sizes, depending on the viscosity and amount of the material being mixed. Even our largest tank mixers, which hold 5,000 gallons, are easy to use and lightweight.
The innovative EvenMix® blades on our [electric or air geared motors](https://evenmix.com/shop/) feature a variable speed control that runs up to 135 rpm and has a variable speed control from 20 down to 1. For combinations up to 2,000 cps, an even mix can be achieved. Allow our mixers to do the heavy lifting for you and your employees!
You can reduce material input and save money by mixing your materials or resins evenly across an IBC. The shape and design of the Mixed Flow Blades are distinctive, and they fold to fit through the 16″ aperture while unfolding to distribute the contents around the tank evenly.
## **How EvenMix® Improves Your Tank Mixer**
Tank Mixers on the market today are intended to agitate mixtures in various shapes and sizes of containers. However, many of these tanks are difficult to deal with due to their low efficiency, enormous weight, and a variety of other issues. We have worked hard to improve the technology behind our tank mixers to give our clients the greatest mixing experience possible.
Using our revolutionary 3D mixing blades, our poly tank geared mixers provide a superior mix. These blades’ changeable pitch is unlike any other. The liquid is easily pumped in circular motions throughout the container, resulting in a totally even and equal mix. We tested a variety of materials with different viscous to ensure we had achieved our goal. Our innovative technologies enable you to mix chemicals at speeds of up to 2,000 cps. Solids are kept suspended in the tanks, while fluid components are fully mixed throughout.
## **The Differences Examined**
Tank mixers are often bulky and heavy, requiring the use of numerous people or even forklifts. This appears to be one of the most difficult issues customers confront, regardless of tank drive or size. EvenMix® mixing devices are portable and lightweight, with electric drives weighing 12 pounds and air drives weighing just 9 pounds.
After speaking with several of our clients about their previous mixing company experiences, it appears that many other mixers are not long-lasting and/or sturdy. We created a powerful DC brushless motor to ensure long-lasting mixing. You won’t have to worry about the motor wearing out as you continue to mix. Our new digital drives are resistant to dust and water, allowing you to mix in some of the most demanding manufacturing settings.
## **See the Difference**
No other mixer performs as well as the EvenMix® tank mixer. The digital speed control, which ranges from 150 RPM down to 40RPM, gives the operator complete control over the mixing and makes it simple to use. While it is lightweight, it produces the evenest mix conceivable and packs a powerful punch.
## **How Many Blades Are Required for Agitation?**
The mixing step is an essential aspect of the reaction process. The proper agitator can impact various characteristics, including bath duration, heat transmission, yield, product quality, and so on. A tank agitator must be ideally suited to the influenced reaction, or it will negatively impact the operation.
In general, an industrial agitator can be optimized and customized for your specific process. Changing the number of blades, spans, angles, and design is one technique to improve the agitator. Other parameters include operating speeds and tier placement; each variable can be adjusted and modified to optimize the operation’s performance.
Naturally, NASA is curious about what will influence and have the most significant impact on agitation. This prompted them to perform a study where they primarily tested various blades and the number of blades required for optimal fluid transfer. NASA’s findings determined how an industrial tank agitator should be designed for maximum effectiveness.
The influence of utilizing four, three, and two blades were investigated using DEM. According to the findings, the number of mixing system blades directly impacts particle velocities. We would be happy to discuss this further and help you decide what is best for your particular operation.
We ensure that every one of our customers is happy with their mixer and will continue to work with them beyond their first purchase.

### [Electric or Air Motor: Which is Better?](https://evenmix.com/electric-or-air-motor/)
**Published:** May 9, 2022
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
Hello, my name is Phil Rankin, and I’m the founder of EvenMix®. We are constantly asked to choose between air and [electric power](https://evenmix.com/ac-vs-dc-current/). Because both of our drives are compatible with all of our mixers, you can use either drive with any mixer. They can be transferred between IBC mixers, drum mixers, and even huge tank mixers. Rotary vane motors are most commonly employed in low- to medium-power applications.
Piston [air motors](https://www.solidswiki.com/index.php/Air_Motors) are generally utilized in applications that demand a lot of power, a lot of beginning torque, and precise speed regulation at low speeds. Our simple modular design and various accessories provide limitless mounting choices, making the mixers easy to operate and move around. Internally lubricated radial and axial-piston motors have one notable drawback: oil and grease reserves must be checked and replaced on a regular basis. Axial-piston motors are smaller than radial-piston motors, rendering them excellent for close-quarters attachment. A fundamental advantage of axial and radial piston air motors is their high starting torque. These air motors generate traction by altering the air pressure while the motor rotates.
The goal of EvenMix® was to ensure that our customers have the mixer they want that is affordable, mobile, and accurate. While some applications don’t require things to be so precise, others do. We understand that our mixers will be used in various industrial applications. Because of that, we have decided to make two different types of motors to ensure there is something for everyone.
Why choose a mixer that can only perform one task when you can invest in a mixture that can do them all? While many mixtures are only an IBC or drum mixer, the EvenMix® is made to do both jobs with ease and precision. When looking at what to use for your EvenMix®, the choice is up to you. However, there are some differences that you might want to keep in mind. Let’s go over some of the specs that you will find in our electric and air mixers to give you a better idea of what you will need to get the performance you are looking for.
## **Air Powered EvenMix® Mixer**
At 90 pressure, our air drive consumes 13 cubic feet per minute (CFM). It has a top speed of 150 RPM. You can vary the speed by throttling the ball valve connecting the air to the motor chamber. But, it is nowhere near as accurate as our electric mixer with over 20 programmed speeds. In essence, an air motor changes its torque output in order to fulfill the application’s torque requirements.
The rotary motion of the motor transforms compressed gas energy into mechanical work. The input air pressure determines the performance of air motors. For the air compressor motor to run at rated torque and horsepower, the motor inlet pressure must be 90 psi. Depending on the design, springs, cam action, and air pressure are used to bias the vanes against the inside wall of the housing.
Air motors do not require electrical power and have a higher power density. While there are situations that this type of mixer is suitable for, others prefer to have more control over the actual speed. In those cases, it is recommended that you go with the electric module since its energy efficiency is also high. The most significant disadvantage of air motors is that their electric counterparts are much more energy efficient. This will give you better control and be more accurate.
The most essential factor is clean and dry air when purchasing our air mixer. A dirty air drive can cause an air drive to fail. Giving it a couple of drops of air tool oil at the end of a shift or day and running it for a few minutes will dramatically extend the life of the air motor.
[Air-powered mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-air-geared-motor/) make it easy to move the mixer from one location to the other. This mobility is vital to many of our customers. If you have a shop equipped with air for various other tools, then an air-powered device makes sense. However, mobility isn’t the only reason to use air mixers.
## **Electric Powered EvenMix® Mixer**
Our electric motor is powered by a 110-volt three-prong socket, just like the one you have in your home. This makes it easy for many of our clients to use this mixer style. These sorts of plugs are found throughout homes, businesses, and factories. It can take up to 4 amps, although it usually only consumes two amps, roughly the same as a low-speed ceiling fan. This means that running this mixer will be very cost-effective, unlike some other models and brands on the market. This is important because every bit helps the bottom line!
Because electricity is pure, it does not cause the same problems as air. You will have better control over the speed and variants. [Our electric drive](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-electric-drive/) offers a variable speed range of 40 to 150 RPM. An [electric motor ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor)controls the air compressor, which delivers the air to drive the air motor, demonstrating this. The speed is adjusted directly on the unit’s digital screen, and it operates in four different modes. These will be very accurate, which is essential in some cases. This doesn’t matter as much in other cases, and the air-powered mixer makes more sense.
## **Conclusion**
Air mixers, in general, tend to last longer than that of an electric mixer. This is due to the way they are designed. When the mixer comes in contact with something too thick for its powerful motor, it will stall out. But an electric mixer will, most of the time, overheat and cause damage. While this is a safety precaution that some of our customers need, for the most part, most are not working with materials that are that thick and heavy to begin with. Again, this will be more about preference and the application in which the EvenMix® mixer will be used.
When selecting the correct mixer for you, the power supply available where you intend to do the mixing is entirely up to you. Hopefully, I’ve provided you with some information on the features of each drive and how they work. Please [contact us](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/) if you require any other information. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

### [How Many Blades for Possible Agitation?](https://evenmix.com/how-many-blades-for-possible-agitation/)
**Published:** July 14, 2021
**Author:** EvenMix®
**Content:**
# How Many Blades for Possible Agitation?
Mixing is a big part of the reaction process. The right type of agitator can impact numerous parameters, including product quality, yield, heat transfer, bath time, etc. A [tank agitator](https://evenmix.com/tank-mixer/) needs to be perfectly suited to the type of reaction you’re influencing, or it will leave a negative influence on the operation.
Generally speaking, an industrial agitator can be tweaked and optimized for your process. One way of tweaking the agitator is to vary the number of blades, design, angles and spans. Other factors include the location of tiers and running speeds; each variable can be tweaked and adjusted, which will help to improve the performance of the operation. Naturally, NASA is interested in understanding what will influence and have the most impact on agitation. That led them to conduct a study mainly testing various blades and the number of blades needed for [ideal fluid transfer](https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/iss-fluid_physics_tagged.pdf). NASA’s findings are interesting, and at the very least, hint at how an industrial tank agitator should be designed for optimal performance.
*Note: The impact of using two, three, and four blades were studied using DEM. The study shows that particle velocities are directly influenced by the number of blades in the mixing system.*
## The Two Blade System
[NASA’s study](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0032591016305575) found the two-blade system to be ideal in the sense that it results in a much higher radial and vertical velocity of the liquid’s particles. One and two blade mixers also showed more pronounced three-dimensional recirculation patterns. In other words, the mixing was a lot more thorough.
The solid fraction analysis using the one and two-blade mixer system showed that dilation of the particle bed was the highest when two blades were used. Data from the contact force network and the blade particle force calculations clearly showed that varying the number of impeller blades had a pretty noticeable effect on how force was distributed.
Apart from NASA’s finding, it is interesting to note that the two-blade system is also one that costs the least to manufacture. That’s why our tank agitators rely on using two blades designed to [generate a great deal of force](https://evenmix.com/horsepower-vs-torque/).
## The 3 and 4 Blades Agitator System
NASA’s study of the 3 and 4 blades found that it resulted in much higher tangential velocity than a two-blade agitator. The data showed that using two or three impeller blades offered optimal mixing performance compared to adding another blade, i.e. the fourth blade based on the relative standard deviation and lacy index of systems.
Interestingly the study found that the granular temperature and the particle diffusivities from the two and three-bladed systems were much higher than for systems that used either one blade or four blades. However, in terms of the cost of manufacturing, the three-bladed system costs more to produce. Three blades also require more power to drive, which does not make it as cost-efficient as the two-blade system. That said, it (the three-blade system) might be ideally suited for some applications.
The four-blade system is deemed to be entirely unnecessary. It does not optimally agitate and but adds significantly higher cost to manufacturing. Plus, it requires significantly more power to drive four blades than two, but it produces far less agitation per dollar spent on power. That’s why most applications don’t require four blades, though they may appear sleek in advertising and promotional materials.
## Improving Industrial Tank Agitator Performance
NASA’s research clearly shows that two and, at best, three blades are all that’s needed for optimal performance for most types of agitators. However, other factors influence an agitators’ performance. We’ll quickly go through three of the most common and yet important ones below:
### Running It Below Blade Level
Depending on the type of [industrial tank agitator](https://evenmix.com/tank-mixer/) being used, it is generally unacceptable to run the mixer when the container’s content is below blade level. It shouldn’t be run at full speed, in particular. When the fluid is around the same level as the blades, the fluid could cost the shaft to skate, resulting in additional stress and finally running out towards the upper end of the agitator or maybe its seal area. That’s what commonly leads to seal failure in most industrial agitators. In some cases, there may even be glass damage to the agitator.
The solution is always to make sure that the container is filled to the right volume before turning on the agitator. If it is a regular problem, then you might want to change the size of the reactor.
### When Emptying Out the Vessel
Agitators shouldn’t be run, especially at full speed when the vessel is being emptied out, or it is in the process of slow draining. It is of particular concern if the liquid is at blade level. That said, if extra care is taken to keep the volume at acceptable levels, the agitator can run at full speed. However, make sure that the viscosity does not increase and once the level of liquid drops by around 20% above blade level, the agitator should be slowed to 35% of its max speed.
### During Filling
We are aware of misconceptions regarding the operation of mixing systems when filling. Usually, it is considered normal to start and then run the agitator as it is being filled, provided that the vessel is being filled quickly and the liquid isn’t at blade level.
The agitator should be run slowly when liquid is added, but speed can be increased as the liquid level in the container rises.
### Conlusion
Knowing how many blades are optimal for an industrial agitator or any other type is important because it helps cut through all the jargon being used in the industry. Advertisers may have you believe that more blades are better, but the science shows otherwise. Any questions on your mixing or blade needs?

### [Horsepower vs Torque](https://evenmix.com/horsepower-vs-torque/)
**Published:** June 23, 2021
**Author:** Randy Rohde
**Content:**
While the terms horsepower and torque are used extensively in the automotive industry, both terms have nothing to do with cars or trucks. In fact, both are physics terms, used extensively, the field of rocket propulsion and even motors. Yes, that’s right, motors, i.e., [electric mixing motors](https://evenmix.com), use the terms to express almost the same values and ideas as the automotive industry. That said, not many people understand the relationship or even the definition of both terms. Some even use these terms interchangeably.
Fortunately, even if you weren’t paying attention in grade school physics class, it is never late to learn what these terms mean. Understanding these terms can open up your understanding of motors and cars alike.
## **The Basics of Horsepower and Torque**
If you have a gasoline engine, diesel engine, or even an electrical engine, its power is referred to as [horsepower](https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a25063394/what-is-horsepower-definition/). In physics, the definition of horsepower is the rate at which work is done. In the automotive world, where it’s more commonly used, it refers to speed. In other words, if you want to get up to speed faster and go faster with each passing minute or hour, you will need an engine that can output more horsepower.
[Torque](https://evenmix.com/what-are-planetary-gear-sets/) is a term used to express rotation or some type of twisting force. If you apply this to a car’s engine, it (the engine) rotates around a certain axis, which creates torque. In other words, you can think of torque as being the strength of a vehicle. It is the same force that will rocket a sports car, taking it from 0-100mph, pushing you back in the seat. It is the same power that helps push those million-pound trucks.
Now that you are familiar with the basics, how are these concepts measured and the relationship between them?
## **What’s Behind the Numbers?**
Horsepower is mathematically expressed as the force required to move a 550-pound weight a single foot in one second or move 33,000 pounds one foot within a minute. The horsepower in cars is measured using a dynamometer, which measures the torque output by the engine and its RPM (revolutions per minute). The [formula used is torque x RPM / 5252](https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/torque), which results in the vehicle’s horsepower value. We use torque as a measurement because it is easier to measure and then calculate.
As mentioned earlier, torque is a twisting force, which is measured in units of force multiplied by the distance from the axis of the rotation. For instance, if you have a 1-foot long wrench to exert a 10lbs force on the end of the bolt, then the torque applied will be 10 pound-feet or 10lb/ft.
## **What is the Relationship Between Torque and Horsepower?**
We’ll start off by stating the obvious (for most people), both torque and horsepower affect the speed of a vehicle, which is why many people mix both terms. That said, in the real world of hauling and driving, there is a difference, as there is with a vehicle’s design, which can have an impact on both horsepower and torque.
Take, for instance, if an engine produces a more horsepower, it also has more potential for torque. The way you see this translate is via the vehicle’s axle, transmission. That’s why, even though both a race car and a tractor may have the same horsepower, but their speed and power are very different. The race car converts all of its torque to speed via a system of gears. A tractor is converting its horsepower into more pushing and pulling power, making it possible to push heavyweights.
Another way to understand the difference between horsepower and torque is that the latter is like twisting off a pickle jar. When you put all your strength into opening the jar, you’re applying torque, that’s regardless of if the cap comes off. You only get horsepower with movement, so in this case, torque is used to loosen the lid, and the horsepower takes over to spin it (the lid) open quickly.
## **Is Having More Torque Better for Acceleration, While More Power is For Speed?**
In a way, we alluded to the answer to this common question above. However, it’s worth diving a little more into it. The more horsepower your vehicle, for instance, has, the faster you’ll be able to hit its top speed. Take, for instance, a 2000 horsepower vehicle with a 300-mph top speed. The problem is that torque is the other side of the same coin because what matters is when the vehicle’s peak torque is met and then how long that’s sustained.
Take, for instance; you have a vehicle with 200 horsepower capable of delivering over 200 lb-ft of torque, at 6000 RPM, which is up against another 200 horsepower vehicle with just 150 lb/ft of torque at 1500 RPM and hitting a straight 6500 RPM redline. The second car will most certainly outpace the first one from the start, even though it has much less torque. The reason is that the engine can hit its max torque sooner than the first car.
A more realistic scenario is that of a drag race between two vehicles. One delivers a whopping 774 lb-ft of torque, and because it is an electric engine, it does so at 0rpm, which means it can out-accelerate, a powerful gasoline-powered drag vehicle capable of delivering 1100 lb/ft of torque because for its to reach max torque, it needs to hit 1180 RPM.
## **Why Do They Even Call It Horsepower and Not Donkey or Cat Power?**
Well, that’s a question many people ask, and they assume that it has something to do with our love of the stallion. In reality, the term horsepower is thanks in part to a person who changed the way we measure power. Back then, [James Watt](https://www.egr.msu.edu/~lira/supp/steam/wattbio.html) was comparing the output of a steam engine and draft horses to mainly sell people on the idea of this new steam-powered service. He observed that a single horse could turn a mill wheel exactly 144 times an hour, the radius being 3.7 meters. So, he figured that a horse should be able to travel 2.4 × 2π × 12 feet in sixty seconds, aka a minute.
Watt then applied the formula to his new steam engine to provide an estimate of how much more effective they (steam engines) were compared to a horse. Back then, everyone used horses, so it was a comparison that everyone could understand. That’s when horsepower was born, and all other animals never stood a chance!
## **Applying Torque and Horsepower**
Applying both horsepower and torque in a machine all depends on what the machine does. If you want to pull a large tree stump out of the ground, horsepower will not work unless you add over a hundred meters of rope. Though if you have something more sporty, horsepower pushes it forward. Car manufacturers have been manufacturing vehicles for now well over a hundred years, have found the right balance, and adjust those figures ever so slightly.
We know from experience that a car engine, let’s say engine A, is torquey, but very few people can clearly distinguish the characteristics of a regular road car. The consensus is that you will want to have at least a 10% difference to tell the difference and feel it, more importantly. In other words, having an engine with 5% more torque can’t be felt unless it’s on the low end, which is a whole different discussion.
## **How Does Torque Apply to Electric Vehicles?**
Electric vehicles like Teslas are becoming increasingly popular and hence more common. We see an increasing number of them almost every day. But do these electric vehicles spell the death of torque measurements in the automotive industry?
In the future, there will be no mention of torque or horsepower. The industry as it moves eventually to entirely electric vehicles will only mention kW.
Anyone who has driven an electric vehicle knows that it can deliver an immense amount of torque. It can out torque most gas guzzlers, regardless of how much they guzzle. An electric vehicle can go from standstill to 60mph in a matter of 2-3 seconds, despite being weighed down by its batteries.
Speaking of torque, the [Tesla Model S P90D](https://www.motortrend.com/cars/tesla/model-s/2016/2016-tesla-model-s-p90d-quick-drive-review/) just broke the record for an all-electric currently production car ¼ mile sprint in just 10.9 seconds. Compare that to the Bugatti Veyron, which does it in 10.175 seconds. So, it’s not hard to see that electric power is undoubtedly on its way up as the gap in performance at least is closing. Within a few years, we may never have to talk about horsepower or torque, except for trucks and other forms of commercial transport that will continue to rely on gas and diesel engines.
## **Why do Some Manufacturers choose to Use Different Terms for Torque?**
Today, we live in a truly globalized world. Regardless of what people say, we still use different labels and measurements, which mean essentially the same thing. But they also confuse most average Joes. It’s the same imperial vs. metric difference. So, the representation of torque here isn’t any different. Some automotive manufacturers may express it as pound-feet (lb-ft), others as foot-pounds (ft-lbs), and then there is Newton Meters (NM).
### Pound-Feet (lb-ft)
A single pound-foot is the moment of inertia on a single axis that applies to a single pound of force within a foot’s radius. So, the TL: DR, pound-feet is mainly an assertion of the force applied or exerted by a vehicle’s wheels as it hits the pavement.
### Foot-Pounds (ft-lbs)
It is the UK’s version of the pound-feet, but a little backward, which is indicative of how they drive on the wrong side of the road. Foot-pound may also refer to a unit of work but has been co-opted by mainly automotive manufacturers.
### Newton-meters (NM)
A single newton-meter is a single unit of torque of the metric system. So, a foot-pound equates to 0.73756-newton meters.
## **Why Horsepower is Expressed Differently by Vehicle Manufacturers?**
The same principle applies with torque. Generally, there are four main terms used, i.e. brake horsepower, horsepower, metric horsepower and kilowatt. Each of these terms main the same thing but in slightly different ways.
### Horsepower (HP)
You probably already know that horsepower is a very familiar figure or term used to denote a vehicle’s power. It relates to the amount of power the car’s engine can develop when you crank it. If anything, just about everyone is familiar with the term, and it looks excellent on brochures.
### Brake-Horsepower (BHP)
Now, this term is often used in countries like the UK and other parts of Europe. It denotes the vehicle’s power at the tires but not at the crank. It is the actual output of the vehicle’s horsepower, its ability to produce from the rear, front or all four of its tires.
### Metric Horsepower
Now, this is a strange one, but bear with us, it’s easy once you understand it. It is often written as cheval-vapeur (CH), cavallo vapore (CV) or pferdestärke (PS). It significantly differs from the standard or what’s referred to as the imperial measurement of horsepower, owing to the way it is calculated. To calculate metric horsepower, they would in the old days attach a horse to a 75-kilogram weight, over a pully, and then the horse would be timed as to see how quickly it could lift the weight by one meter. Now for those who were trying to figure it out, the result is a single second. They then drafted an equation equating one metric horsepower as 98.6 percent of the standard horsepower in comparison.
### KW
Kilowatt is used mainly in Australia and New Zealand but happens to be a very precise measurement of power. It is a measurement used by just about every engineer out there. The measurement means the amount of energy transfer for a period of time, resulting in 1 kilowatt or KW being equal to 1.341 standard horsepower.
## **How Does Torque and Horsepower Apply To Electric Motors?**
We alluded to the fact that electric vehicles tend to be more torque happy, and that’s because of how electric motors work. The torque of an electric motor can be increased by roughly raising the voltage input. However, to determine the horsepower of an electric motor, you have to know the input voltage or current draw in amps and the rated efficiency of the device. Also, keep in mind that 746 watts equate to 1 HP. The current draw and input voltage are taken from Ohm’s Law, which equates to volts x amps = watts; yes, we know this is again graded school stuff.
Calculating the horsepower of an electric motor requires multiplying volts with amps and rated efficiency, then divided by 746 watts.
A couple of electric motors, like the ones that are used in shop air compressors, have their horsepower rated as “peak” horsepower. That usually indicates the amount of power the motor has to start, which can often be up to seven times its rated continuous horses. The higher power is owing to the motor’s windings, which take a lot of current to engage. Once fired up, it does not require as much current to continue working.
The full torque output of an electric motor is at 0 RPM! Compared to an internal combustion engine, the latter requires a given operating speed to achieve that peak torque. However, you need to be mindful of an electric motor’s efficiency rating. Ones with a higher rating tend to be more powerful, cost less and will run cooler compared to a far less efficient motor.
## **Conclusion**
Whether you’re building an electric car of your own, buying a pump for some reason or maybe in the market for a new car, understanding the relationship between horsepower and torque is very important. While they are two sides of the same coin, so to speak, they have a relationship that requires understanding both individually and then collectively.

### [What’s Involved In Mixing Cosmetics?](https://evenmix.com/whats-involved-in-mixing-cosmetics/)
**Published:** May 21, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
The FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) monitors how cosmetics are manufactured in the United States. Their regulations extend to how the base ingredients are mixed and stored before they’re turned into things like lipsticks and eye shadow. On top of this, the FDA keeps an eye on cosmetics manufacturing equipment. What does this have to do with EvenMix®TM? Our mixers are part of that equipment!
**FDA Cosmetics Regulations**
According to the FDA documents, all cosmetics manufacturing equipment must be sanitary. It’s not allowed to splash the ingredients all over the factory, even when that makeup is getting mixed. Every ingredient needs to be properly stored in containers that aren’t on a factory floor.
These regulations also extend to employees. The FDA mandates that they must be properly trained in both how to mix cosmetics, as well as on how to handle the raw ingredients. Since most types of cosmetics are made from a proprietary mixture of these ingredients, the employees also need to know how to properly combine them.
**Other Regulations**
Although the FDA limits their regulations to sanitary conditions and chemical compounds, cosmetics companies must adhere to OSHA rules as well. OSHA, also known as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has instructions in place regarding employee movements. For example, they mandate that employers can’t require their workers to do a number of heavy lifting activities that involve twisting motions from the waist. This means that those cosmetics companies need to keep an eye on the exact movements made by their employees, lest they get fined.
**The EvenMix®TM Advantage**
How can an EvenMix®TM mixer help your cosmetics company adhere to these rules? Well, our mixers are lightweight and easy to move around. They’re designed to fit into totes, pails, and buckets, all of which these companies use to hold their ingredients and their cosmetics blends. Since our mixers are lightweight and designed to mix every inch of the product, cosmetics companies are able to follow the rules set in place by both the FDA and OSHA. Our splash proof mixing devices can handle cosmetics blends with ease.
The cosmetics industry is just one of the many that use EvenMix®TM mixers. Thanks to our proprietary devices, their employees adhere to OSHA rules. The even mixing (no pun intended) done by our products helps these businesses follow FDA regulations as well.

### [The Importance of Smoothly Mixing Inks and Pigments](https://evenmix.com/the-importance-of-smoothly-mixing-inks-and-pigments/)
**Published:** May 10, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Industrial inks and pigments are used in a number of different industries. Although the uses for them vary, depending on the specific industry, all have one thing in common – they need to be mixed smoothly.
**Types of Inks and Pigments**
There are two main types of these inks and pigments: liquid and powder. Liquid inks are used in the manufacturing of pens and markers, they are added to ink cartridges for standard printers, and even have a use in 3D printing technology. Powdered pigments, on the other hand, are turned into fabric dye and food coloring, are used to make colored paper, and even end up in lasers, such as the ones used to break down tattoo pigment.
**The Mixing Process**
Mixing these inks and pigments requires a multi-step process. First, the raw ingredients need to be added to the tote or pail. Depending on the ideal color, these raw ingredients tend to be a mix of different shades of dry pigments or liquid inks, as well as some other chemical agents designed to enhance the final blend. These can be anything from emulsifiers to stabilize the final mix (this is often used in food coloring), to preservatives, resins, and solvents.
Once all of those ingredients are ready, it’s time to mix them together. The final mixture might be used right away, or stored for future use.
**Choosing the Best Mixer**
Many companies store their pigments and inks in warehouses, bringing them out when needed. These pails or totes filled with the products need to be mixed one additional time before they are used. Otherwise, the material will be uneven and not properly blended. This results in uneven colors, causing the entire patch of product to be rejected and a loss of money.
In order to solve this problem, you need a mixer that will combine every ingredient in your tote, pail, or drum smoothly and evenly. You need one from EvenMix®TM!
**Our Products**
We offer several different types of mixers, all designed to mix product like inks and pigments. Our IBC tote mixers, pail mixers, and drum mixers (available with single or double blades) are perfect for this use. They fit directly into the container holding the dry pigment or liquid ink and tackle every inch of the material. This results in a well-mixed product. You won’t have to worry about unevenness ever again.

### [How EvenMix®’s Products Can Help You Meet OSHA Requirements](https://evenmix.com/how-even-mixs-products-can-help-you-meet-osha-requirements/)
**Published:** April 30, 2018
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
All businesses need to adhere to OSHA standards. While this doesn’t limit the amount of weight that many employees are expected to be able to lift, it does place some restrictions on how that lifting takes place. The products produced by EvenMix®TM – our IBC Tote, Pail, and Drum mixers are designed to be OSHA compliant.
**What Is OSHA?**
OSHA stands for Occupational Safety and Health Administration. It’s a national organization set up and run by the government in order to enforce workplace safety. Without it, workers could potentially be exploited and exposed to unsafe conditions.
OSHA was created back in 1970. That was the year Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which put many of the standards into place. In order to enforce those standards, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration was created.
**What Does OSHA Do?**
According to OSHA guidelines, employers need to hold regular safety training seminars and provide easy to follow workplace safety guidelines. They also must comply with all OSHA guidelines and ensure that all employees use safe tools and equipment. There are many more guidelines, and all are designed to make sure that employees do their jobs as safely as possible under good working conditions.
Employers that violate OSHA regulations are fined. The amount of this fine varies, depending on the size of the company and the severity of the violation.
**How Are EvenMix®TM’s Mixers OSHA Compliant?**
Since the mixers produced by EvenMix®TM are lightweight and operate independently (meaning that they can be put into a tote, pail, or drum and then turned on), they can help your business comply with OSHA regulations. While there are no weight restrictions listed by OSHA, employers do have to avoid creating situations that can cause back injuries. These [include tasks](https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2013-06-04-0) that require employees to list heavy objects repeatedly and ones that require repetitive twisting motions while holding those heavy things.
Other companies’ mixers are heavier and require a good amount of maneuvering into place. They force employees to do many of the things that OSHA prohibits – including repetitive lifting, as well as bending and twisting while holding heavy objects. While it isn’t against OSHA to force employees to lift things that are between 50 and 100 pounds, they shouldn’t be forced to do this all day long. That is an OSHA violation.
With EvenMix®TM, this isn’t an issue, because our products are lightweight and effective. It’s as simple as that.

### [Less is MORE with Our Mixing Blade](https://evenmix.com/less-is-more-with-our-mixing-blade/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
It’s no secret that EvenMix® is an innovator in the mixing blade industry. We’ve talked about it extensively in our past blogs, but we’ve never got down to what differentiates us from our competitors. We feel that it is important to inform our customers, and this is the first step in doing so!
Shopping around for a mixer can be a very overwhelming process. With so many different blades, sizes, and features, it can be difficult to discern which product is right for your needs. Not to mention the lack of information on most Web sites. That’s why we want to set the record straight, and give you the information you need to get the best quality product.
###### Misconceptions With Mixers on the Market
One of the most common misconceptions with mixers is that more horsepower produces better results. The truth is, quality dispersion of materials within a solution is completely independent of horsepower, and the only reason some manufacturers need such high horsepower motors is because they need to overcome the incredibly high drag that their blades produce. In fact, our competitors’ blades have a drag that is almost 3x higher. To make up for this, they have to supply extra power through their motor.
Another misconception that is commonly seen is that more than two blades are necessary to have powerful mixing capabilities. We’ve seen through our own testing, and through testing that NASA performed for optimizing wind turbines, that this is simply not true. A third blade may add more energy to the mixing process, but it also requires more energy as well. A fourth blade not only requires more energy, but it also has a minimal effect on performance. Our two bladed model, on the other hand, is simple, easier to make, and easier to balance. We’ve optimized the two-blade, which gives us superior performance with easier manufacturing and deployment. Our mixing blade is by and large the best on the market.
At EvenMix®, we’re not about gimmicks – we’re about results and keeping our customers informed. Using experienced and practical engineering, we’ve cut costs to provide lower prices without sacrificing performance. That’s the EvenMix® way. If you have any doubts about our product, check out our [YouTube Channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp7ph4JIunndn0tGkKL86GQ) for videos that showcase the power and efficiency of EvenMix®.

### [Get a Different Angle: Variable Pitch](https://evenmix.com/get-a-different-angle-variable-pitch/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
**Variable Pitch**
In our continued effort to inform our current and potential customers, we’d like to give a sneak peek at our blade’s most vital feature: variable pitch.
Variable pitch is nothing necessarily new. Aircraft and ships have been using it for decades now, and with great success. It’s simply a twist in the blade, which helps direct the air, water, etc. in a certain direction. It may not seem like much, but it’s a small twist (literally) that produces big results.
EvenMix®’s take on variable pitch works by twisting the blade to a 30 degree angle. This helps increase movement of the solution both horizontally and vertically. The result is a figure eight like movement that greatly enhances the circulation of material throughout the drum. Standard blades simply toss around the material in one direction. This results in a heavy layer of material at the bottom of the drum, and a much slower mixing process.
This isn’t a gimmick either. EvenMix® consistently provides better results than the industry leader. Don’t believe us? Have a look at the video below to see for yourself why EvenMix® is the most innovative product in the mixing industry today!
There are several mixing blades on the market that are at a single pitch for the entire blade. Our blades are unique in that we begin at 90 degrees and then bend the blades continuously to 30 degrees. We do this with specially designed stamping dies that allow us to make our unique shaped blade and bring you a variable pitch blade.
##### 30 Degree Angle Variable Pitch
We’ve done the math and determined that 30 degrees is the optimum angle for achieving the same speed of liquids vertically as they come off the blade horizontally. The blades are specifically designed to produce our figure-eight mixing action. We’ve achieved this mixing strategy through a combination of theoretical design and practical tests. Our R&D team was trained at NASA in building rockets. While we don’t build rockets at EvenMix®, It is rocket science, and you’ll see our scientific roots reflected in our mixing blades.
One blade mixes very well but two blades mix better. Our IBC Mixer features our bottom larger blade (16 inches unfolded) and it does a great job, especially given that it is entering through six inch bung opening. Our fixed blade mixers like our 55 gallon drum mixer is available with one mixing blade or two. When the second mixing blade is added to the middle of the shaft it actually is inverted when compared to the bottom blade. The bottom blade pumps up while the top blade pumps down. Through testing we determined that in a 55 gallon barrel the bottom blade pumps up around the outer diameter of the drum cylinder while the inner diameter feeds liquid down to feed the bottom pump. The top blade facilitates that complete pumping action. It might just look like another variable pitch blade, but it’s specifically designed with a purpose. Everything we do has a purpose at EvenMix®.
Armed with all of this knowledge you can now look at the available options with a more critical eye. Not everyone has testing chambers that they can see through and analyze – we do. Don’t accept everyone’s claims on the surface. We want you to understand all of the design features that we have baked in to EvenMix® for your benefit. We’re making the world a better place, one interaction at a time.
Don’t settle for poor mixing that takes a substantially longer time. You need results, and you need them quickly. Give us a call or send us an email today to get your EvenMix®! We look forward to doing business with you!

### [EvenMix® versus The Incumbent](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-versus-the-incumbent/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Content:**
Welcome to the latest video from EvenMix® where mixing IS Rocket Science. You deserve a better mixing experience.
We see the existence of poor mixing performance and air bubbles in the liquid as a problem. If your liquid isn’t mixed evenly – it’s a problem. If you have a significant amount of air bubbles mixed into your liquid – it’s a problem.
We focused our former NASA engineers on solving these problems. What did they come up with? We developed a patent pending variable pitch blade that generates a vector that mixes horizontally, vertically, and circumferentially – significantly improving the quality of the mix.
Enough of me talking, let’s get down to the testing. We are feeding each drum motor with the same 50 psi, filled the drum with the same glycerin (1,100 centipoise – just like paint), the same markers, and the same sand.
Here we go with a full view of the testing side by side. The EvenMix® single blade mixer versus The Incumbent 30 degree pitched single blade. Let’s see how they do………Notice the difference in vortex at the top. The strictly vertical mixing action of the incumbent is producing a significant vortex drawing a lot of air into the liquid.
That was interesting. Now let’s have a look at the bottom of the drum to see what we find.
With the same air pressure input, same liquid, and same sand let’s see what we get. The EvenMix® cleaned the bottom and is keeping it clean. The Incumbent can’t seem to get the area in the center clean and look at the bubbles. It’s a problem.
This is what we saw. The mixing performance was similar but not at the bottom. The amount of air bubbles mixed into the liquid was noticeably different. The vortex as a result of the mixing vectors was visible with the Incumbent.
You’ve seen the test, draw your own conclusions. We are ready to provide you a better mixing experience. It IS rocket science!

# Road Striping & Traffic Paint Mixers for IBC Totes
Keep Traffic Paint Uniform. Mix Before Loading or at the Job Site.
Road striping paint can settle during storage, leaving pigments and solids concentrated at the bottom of an IBC tote. Without proper mixing, crews may transfer paint that is no longer uniform, potentially affecting material consistency during pavement-marking operations.
**EvenMix® portable IBC tote mixers help re-suspend settled traffic paint directly in its container.** Our patented folding blade technology creates vertical and horizontal circulation to help restore a uniform mixture without relying on a deep, air-drawing surface vortex.
Designed for portability and flexibility, EvenMix offers electric, air-driven, and battery-powered mixers for compatible storage yards, striping trucks, and remote job sites.

The challenge
## Why Does Road Striping Paint Need Mixing?
Liquid traffic paint contains pigments, resins, and other components dispersed throughout a liquid base. During storage, certain formulations can separate, allowing heavier solids to accumulate near the bottom of the container.
[ASTM D8008-20, Standard Practice for Representative Field Sampling of Traffic Paints](https://store.astm.org/d8008-20.html), recognizes that some traffic paints can become non-homogeneous over time. Its sampling guidance identifies thorough mixing as a preferred method for obtaining a representative liquid sample.
For road striping operations, the practical objective is straightforward: **restore paint uniformity before transferring it to application equipment.**
Mixing cannot repair paint damaged by freezing, contamination, degradation, or improper storage. Always follow the paint manufacturer’s handling and mixing requirements.
### This can create several operational challenges:
- **Inconsistent paint composition:** Material drawn from the top may differ from paint near the bottom.
- **Settled pigments and solids:** Dense material can become more difficult to re-suspend after extended storage.
- **Usable paint left behind:** Accumulated material may contribute to residue remaining after transfer.
- **Additional preparation time:** Crews may need to manually stir, circulate, or otherwise condition paint before use.
The EvenMix advantage
## How EvenMix Helps Keep Traffic Paint Uniform
EvenMix takes a different approach to industrial mixing. Instead of relying on a deep surface vortex, our patented variable-pitch folding blades are engineered to circulate liquid both vertically and horizontally throughout the container.
01
### Patented Folding Blade Technology
EvenMix blades fold for insertion through a compatible IBC tote opening and expand to approximately 16 inches in diameter during operation.
This design helps move liquid through the container, including material near the bottom and corners where solids can accumulate.
Dual-blade configurations provide circulation at two levels, making them a useful starting point when evaluating traffic paint applications with significant settlement.
02
### Circulation Without a Deep Surface Vortex
Aggressive surface agitation can introduce air into liquid coatings. Depending on the formulation and operating conditions, entrained air may contribute to foaming or application difficulties.
EvenMix is designed to establish axial and radial circulation without depending on a deep surface funnel, helping limit unnecessary air incorporation while re-suspending settled material.
03
### Lightweight, Portable Equipment
Road striping operations move between garages, maintenance facilities, storage yards, and active job sites.
EvenMix mixers are compact and lightweight, allowing crews to move equipment between compatible containers rather than relying on a permanent mixing station.
**Mix your traffic paint where it is stored, before transferring it to where it is needed.**
Application flexibility
## Two Ways to Use an EvenMix Road Striping Paint Mixer
Mix at the source before loading, or evaluate an onboard setup when the container, mounting arrangement, and power supply allow it.
Most common workflow
### 1. Mix Traffic Paint Before Loading the Striping Truck
For many operations, the most practical approach is to mix traffic paint directly in its source IBC tote at the garage, storage yard, or staging facility.
The EvenMix mixer circulates paint inside the tote to help re-suspend settled pigments and solids before material enters the truck’s transfer or application system.
This approach can help crews:
- Prepare paint for transfer without moving it into a separate mixing vessel.
- Address settled material before drawing paint from the source container.
- Reduce the need for manual mixing.
- Use a portable mixer across multiple compatible totes.
For municipalities and contractors working through multiple paint totes during a striping season, this provides a repeatable process for preparing material before loading.
Mobile application
### 2. Mix Paint at the Truck or Job Site
Some road striping operations carry a paint tote or another suitable container directly on a truck or position it at a remote work location.
With the proper mounting arrangement and available power, an EvenMix mixer may be used at the vehicle or job site.
Battery-powered configurations offer cord-free operation, while electric and air-driven systems can be considered when suitable utilities are available.
Onboard mixing requires confirmation of container stability, cap compatibility, blade clearance, operating conditions, and power capacity.
**Need help choosing a configuration for your truck? Call EvenMix at 440-236-6677.**
Common question
## Why Not Rely on the Truck's Paint Pump?
Paint transfer pumps and recirculation systems serve important functions, but moving paint through a line does not automatically mean that settled material throughout an IBC tote has been re-suspended.
The effectiveness of recirculation depends on the system’s intake location, return location, flow pattern, and container geometry.
### An EvenMix IBC tote mixer addresses the material directly within the container where it is installed.
For crews mixing before loading, this provides a way to address settlement in the original tote before transfer. Existing pumps and tank agitators can continue performing their intended functions within the striping equipment.
Find your configuration

Application review
## What to Check Before Ordering a Traffic Paint Mixer
Not all traffic paint totes use the same opening, cap, or mounting arrangement. Confirming these details before ordering helps ensure that the mixer fits and operates as intended.
[ Talk Through Your Setup → ](#contact)
### Container and cap compatibility
Standard IBC totes commonly use a 6-inch opening, but traffic paint may also arrive in containers with 9-inch caps, tall caps, large drum-style lids, or other mounting arrangements.
### Shaft length and blade clearance
The shaft and blade positions must match the actual container depth, expected fill level, and bottom clearance. Nonstandard tanks and truck-mounted vessels may require a different configuration.
### Power availability
Confirm the applicable electrical supply, inverter capacity, compressed-air flow, or battery requirements before choosing a drive.
### Paint formulation and operating environment
Review the manufacturer’s technical data sheet and safety data sheet. Solvent-borne paints, flammable atmospheres, and other specialized conditions require additional equipment and safety evaluation.
EvenMix can review container dimensions, cap photographs, and operating requirements to help recommend an appropriate setup.
Understand the opportunity
## Can Better Mixing Help Reduce Traffic Paint Waste?
For high-volume road striping operations, even small amounts of usable paint left in each container can become significant over an entire season.
Consider an operation using 50 totes annually. If five gallons of paint remain in each container, that represents 250 gallons of purchased material left behind.
**5 gallons × 50 totes = 250 gallons of remaining paint**
The actual recoverable amount depends on the formulation, degree of settlement, container geometry, and transfer equipment. Mixing does not guarantee that all remaining material can be recovered.
However, when usable settled material contributes to leftover paint, improved container mixing may help reduce the amount left behind.
For crews managing multiple totes, it is worth measuring how much usable paint remains before and after an appropriate mixing trial.

Field-ready process
## A Practical Traffic Paint Mixing Process
01
### Review the paint requirements.
Check the manufacturer’s instructions, technical data sheet, and safety information before mixing.
02
### Inspect the material.
Look for visible separation, hard settlement, contamination, or damage that mixing may not correct.
03
### Confirm mixer compatibility.
Check the tote opening, mounting arrangement, shaft depth, blade clearance, and power source.
04
### Mix directly in the container.
Operate the mixer according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, allowing sufficient time for the material to become uniform.
05
### Verify uniformity before transfer.
Follow the paint manufacturer’s quality checks and any applicable sampling requirements before loading or applying paint.
Mixing time varies with paint formulation, temperature, fill level, storage history, and degree of settlement.
## **Mixing White, Yellow, and Specialty Traffic Paints**
Road striping crews often handle white, yellow, black, and specialty marking paints.
When using the same mixer with different products, proper cleaning is essential to prevent color carryover and cross-contamination.
EvenMix offers modular mixer components that allow compatible drives to be shared with separate shaft-and-blade assemblies.
For operations handling multiple colors, dedicating paint-contact assemblies to each color may simplify changeovers while reducing contamination risks.

Answers for striping crews
## Frequently Asked Questions About Traffic Paint Mixing
Does traffic paint settle in an IBC tote?
Yes. Some liquid traffic paint formulations can separate over time, allowing pigments and solids to concentrate near the bottom. Proper mixing helps restore uniformity when the paint remains suitable for use.
Should traffic paint be mixed before loading a striping truck?
Mixing the source tote before loading can help ensure more uniform material enters the transfer system. Always follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions and applicable project specifications.
Can any mixer be used to remix traffic paint?
Typically, most paint manufacturers would ask to use a specific type of mixer to reagitate traffic paint. Using the wrong mixer (ex. a high speed/high shear drive) could cause unneeded air entrapment, chemical/color changes, and can make reagition of the bottom and corners of the container difficult. Generally, a low-shear, high-torque, low/no-vortex mixer will be gentle enough not to shear the material while using the drive’s torque to mix thicker traffic paint successfully. All of EvenMix’s Mixer Packages are considered low shear, high torque and typically will not generate a vortex. The patented variable-pitch blade design also achieves both vertical and horizontal flow patterns within the container, ensuring the corners and bottom are homogeneous with the rest of the container.
Can an EvenMix mixer be used on a striping truck?
Yes, when the container, mounting arrangement, shaft clearance, operating environment, and available power are suitable. EvenMix can review nonstandard truck-mounted configurations before selection.
Does paint pump recirculation eliminate the need for a tote mixer?
Not necessarily. Recirculation may contribute to mixing, but effectiveness depends on its flow pattern and whether circulation reaches settled material throughout the container.
How long should traffic paint be mixed?
There is no universal mixing time. The required duration depends on the paint formulation, container volume, temperature, and degree of settlement. Uniformity should be confirmed according to the paint manufacturer’s requirements.
Can one EvenMix drive be used with multiple paint colors?
Yes. Compatible EvenMix drives can be shared across separate mixing assemblies. Clean paint-contact components thoroughly or use dedicated shafts and blades to help prevent color contamination.
Do all traffic paint IBC totes use the same cap?
No. Traffic paint containers can use different cap diameters, heights, threads, and mounting styles. Confirm the actual opening and container dimensions before ordering.

## Mixing basics
### What is an IBC tote mixer?
An IBC tote mixer is a portable mixing system designed to blend the contents of an intermediate bulk container in place. It inserts through the container’s bung opening, so the liquid never has to be pumped out into a separate mixing vessel. IBC tote mixers are used to resuspend settled solids, blend two-part mixtures, maintain uniformity in stored product, and homogenize batches before dispensing.
### What is a drum mixer?
A drum mixer is a mixing system sized for a standard 55-gallon drum. It can be mounted to the drum lid, clamped to the rim, or inserted through a bung opening depending on whether the drum is open head or closed head. EvenMix drum mixers use a 15-inch folding blade.
### Why do liquids in totes and drums need mixing?
Many industrial liquids separate during storage. Suspended solids settle to the bottom, emulsions break, pigments drop out, and two-part systems stratify. Product drawn from an unmixed container is not the same product that went in, which produces inconsistent batches and, in some cases, unusable material at the bottom of the container. Mixing restores uniformity before the product is used.
### What does 3D mixing mean?
Most mixer blades move liquid primarily in one horizontal plane, so the liquid rotates around the shaft but does not circulate top to bottom. EvenMix uses a variable-pitch mixed-flow blade geometry that generates vertical circulation alongside horizontal flow. In two-blade configurations, the lower blade pumps liquid upward while the upper blade pumps it downward, producing a complete circulation loop through the full volume of the container.
### What is viscosity, and why does it matter when selecting a mixer?
Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow, expressed in centipoise (cPs). Water is about 1 cPs; honey is roughly 10,000 cPs. The higher the viscosity, the more torque a mixer needs to move the liquid and the more important blade geometry becomes. A mixer rated for thin liquids will stall or carve a cavity in a thick one. EvenMix systems have been tested at viscosities up to 50,000 cPs.
## Blade technology
### 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. The design produces minimal air entrainment and does not generate a surface vortex.
### Is the EvenMix blade patented?
Yes. The variable-pitch mixed-flow blade design was granted a U.S. patent in December 2017. EvenMix introduced its variable pitch blades in 2015 and has sold thousands of units since.
### What does the NASA connection actually mean?
EvenMix developed its blade geometry with input from a NASA engineer, applying aerospace pump design principles to industrial mixing. The practical result is the variable pitch profile: rather than a single fixed angle across the blade, the pitch changes along its length so the blade acts as a pump rather than a paddle. This is what produces the vertical pumping action.
### Does the mixer create a vortex or entrain air?
No. The blade geometry is designed to circulate liquid without drawing a surface vortex, which means minimal air entrainment. This matters for products where entrained air causes foaming, oxidation, or dosing inaccuracy.
### How do the two blades work together?
In a two-blade configuration, the lower blade pumps liquid upward around the outer diameter of the container while the inner diameter feeds liquid back down to the bottom blade. The upper blade, inverted relative to the lower one, pumps downward and completes the circulation loop. The result is full-volume turnover rather than surface agitation.
## Sizing and selection
### What size opening does the mixer fit through?
A standard 6-inch IBC bung opening. The blade folds to pass through the opening and unfolds to a 16-inch mixing diameter once inside the container. No tote disassembly or lid removal is required.
### What viscosities can EvenMix mixers handle?
Systems have been tested at viscosities up to 50,000 centipoise. Achievable viscosity depends on blade configuration: single blade sets are rated to approximately 3,000–4,000 cPs, and double blade sets to 20,000+ cPs. In field testing, EvenMix systems have homogenized year-old settled agricultural sludge at roughly peanut-butter consistency in approximately three minutes.
### How do I choose between a single and a double blade set?
Single blade sets suit lower-viscosity liquids up to approximately 3,000–4,000 cPs, including most water-based solutions, thin chemicals, and light agricultural products. Double blade sets handle 20,000+ cPs and are the choice for heavier resins, thickened coatings, settled slurries, and any product stored long enough to compact at the bottom. If your product varies, the double set covers both cases.
### What container sizes do EvenMix mixers fit?
EvenMix builds systems for standard 275- and 330-gallon IBC totes, 300-gallon totes, 55-gallon drums, and tanks including 550-gallon vertical configurations. Tank mixers are sized to the vessel; shaft length and blade count are matched to volume and geometry.
### 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. Most competing IBC tote mixers weigh between 25 and 100 pounds.
### Why does mixer weight matter?
Weight determines whether a mixer can be moved and installed by one person or requires two people and lifting equipment. A 9-pound unit can be carried from container to container by hand. A 70- to 120-pound unit generally cannot, which introduces both a labor cost and a lifting-injury risk every time the mixer is repositioned.
## Drives and power
### What drive options are available?
| Drive | Speed | Power | Control |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 HP electric geared | Up to 135 RPM | 4.0 amps maximum | Variable speed, integrated digital panel |
| 1.25 HP air geared | 160 RPM at 90 PSI | 13 CFM air consumption | Air control valve |
| 1 HP battery-powered digital | 27–153 RPM | DeWalt or Milwaukee battery platform | 20 preset speeds |
### Should I choose an electric or air drive?
Air drives suit environments where electrical equipment is restricted or where compressed air is already plumbed to the work area, which covers many chemical, coatings, and solvent-handling facilities. Electric drives suit facilities without compressed air infrastructure and offer integrated digital speed control rather than throttling at a valve. The battery drive suits field work, remote tanks, and applications where neither power source is available at the container.
### How much air does the air drive consume?
13 CFM at 90 PSI. Comparable competitor air mixers consume 30 to 40 CFM, which means the EvenMix unit can often run on existing shop air where a higher-consumption mixer would require a larger compressor.
### How much electrical power does the electric drive draw?
4.0 amps maximum for the 1 HP electric geared drive. Comparable 1 HP competitor units draw 7.4 to 12.8 amps.
### Are EvenMix drives interchangeable across containers?
Yes. The system is modular: a single drive works with multiple container types and blade sets. A facility running both drums and IBC totes can use one drive across both rather than purchasing dedicated equipment for each container format. Drives can also be purchased separately from blade assemblies.
### Can I buy a drive without the blades, or blades without the drive?
Yes. The 1 HP electric geared drive and the 1.25 HP air geared drive are both available as standalone units, which is the usual path for a facility adding a second container type to an existing system.
## Installation and use
### How long does installation take?
Seconds. The folding blade is inserted through the 6-inch bung opening, the blade unfolds inside the container, and the attached lid threads into the opening. No additional hardware or tools are required.
### Do I need a forklift or lifting equipment?
No. At 9 to 12 pounds, the mixing system is installed and removed by hand. One person can complete the job.
### Do I need to remove the tote lid or transfer the product?
No. The blade is designed specifically to pass through the standard bung opening, which is why it folds. The container stays sealed apart from the opening the mixer occupies, and the product stays where it is.
### How do I avoid cross-contamination between products?
EvenMix systems use a fitting and reducer design that keeps the drive isolated from the container contents, reducing cross-contamination when a single drive is moved between containers holding different products. For operations running incompatible chemistries, dedicated blade assemblies per product with a shared drive is the common approach.
### How long does it take to mix a settled tote?
This depends on viscosity, degree of settling, and blade configuration. As a reference point, EvenMix systems have homogenized year-old settled agricultural sludge at roughly peanut-butter consistency in approximately three minutes. Lighter products with less compaction mix considerably faster.
### Are operating manuals and assembly videos available?
Yes. Operating manuals for both mixer products and drive systems are published at [evenmix.com/operating-manuals/](https://evenmix.com/operating-manuals/) and [evenmix.com/operating-manuals-drives/](https://evenmix.com/operating-manuals-drives/). Assembly and use demonstration videos are at [evenmix.com/product-videos-assembly-and-use/](https://evenmix.com/product-videos-assembly-and-use/), and additional video content is on the [EvenMix YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp7ph4JIunndn0tGkKL86GQ).
## Materials and compatibility
### What materials are EvenMix mixers made from?
After-market IBC tote mixers use non-reactive 316 stainless steel blades and shafts. In-plant units are hardened steel finished with powder coat epoxy. Both are engineered to withstand 800 inch-pounds of force.
### Will EvenMix mixers handle corrosive products?
316 stainless steel is non-reactive and is the standard material for the wetted components on after-market units, which is why the systems are used with corrosive chemicals, detergents, and treatment chemistries. As with any equipment, confirm material compatibility against your specific product’s chemistry before purchase.
### Are food-grade options available?
Yes. Food-grade blades are available in addition to the standard 316 stainless steel blades. Beverage producers including distilleries, breweries, and wineries are among the industries EvenMix serves.
### What is the difference between in-plant and after-market units?
In-plant IBC mixers are finished with powder coat epoxy, a coating used in demanding industrial environments. After-market IBC tote mixers are built from non-reactive 316 stainless steel. The choice generally follows the chemistry of the product being mixed and whether the unit stays with one container or moves across many.
### Can EvenMix modify a system for an unusual application?
Yes. EvenMix has modified equipment for customer-specific requirements, including adapting a motor housing for Wilson Mining Services in Australia, which needed to mix a phenolic resin with a catalyst for a mining cavity-fill product.

## Frequently Asked Questions about Tank Mixers
## **What is a tank mixer used for?**
Tank mixers are used to blend, suspend, dissolve, and homogenize materials inside process vessels. Proper mixing helps maintain product quality and consistency.
## **How do I choose the right Tank Mixer?**
The right Tank Mixer depends on the tank’s normal liquid level, required mixer length, mounting location, viscosity, solids content, and mixing objective. The blades must be positioned low enough to engage the liquid at the tank’s normal operating level.
## **Why is mixer length important in tank mixing?**
Mixer length determines where the blades are positioned inside the vessel. The shaft must be long enough to place the blades into the liquid at the tank’s normal fill level.
## **How is an EvenMix® Tank Mixer mounted?**
EvenMix® Tank Mixers typically mount through a 2″ NPT female connection located on the dome of the tank. This is often an existing tank opening, or EvenMix® can supply a bulkhead fitting for installation in a metal or plastic tank.
## **Can EvenMix® Tank Mixers mount directly to the tank dome?**
Yes. Because EvenMix® Tank Mixers are lightweight, they can often mount directly to the dome of a plastic or metal tank. Many traditional tank mixers are much heavier and may require a fabricated support structure around the tank.
## **Why is low weight important for a tank mixer?**
A lighter tank mixer can simplify installation and reduce the need for external support structures. EvenMix® is often able to mount directly to the tank dome where heavier competitors may require additional fabrication.
## **Why is circulation important in tank mixing?**
Circulation ensures all material in the vessel remains actively moving. Without circulation, dead zones can develop and impact product consistency.
## **How do you keep solids suspended in a tank?**
Keeping solids suspended requires fluid movement throughout the vessel. Proper blade design, mixer length, and blade placement are critical for maintaining uniform distribution.
## **What causes dead zones in a tank?**
Dead zones occur when portions of the vessel receive little or no fluid movement. Proper mixer placement and multiple blade sets help reduce unmixed areas.
## **What is 3D mixing in a tank?**
3D mixing combines vertical and horizontal circulation patterns throughout the vessel. This improves mixing efficiency and blend quality.
## **Can a tank mixer reduce mixing time?**
Yes. Improved circulation often reduces mixing time and helps produce more consistent results.
## **Can Tank Mixers handle thicker materials?**
Yes. Tank mixers can be configured for a wide range of viscosities by adjusting the number and placement of blade sets along the shaft. Proper blade spacing helps maximize circulation and mixing performance throughout the tank.
## **How many blade sets should a Tank Mixer have?**
The number of blade sets is typically determined by the mixer length, tank geometry, liquid level, and product viscosity. EvenMix® commonly places a mixing blade every 10″ to 18″ along the shaft to maximize flow.
## **Why do Tank Mixers use multiple blade sets?**
Multiple blade sets distribute circulation throughout the height of the tank. This improves solids suspension, reduces dead zones, and promotes more uniform mixing.
## **Why is blade spacing important in tank mixing?**
Blade spacing affects how fluid moves throughout the vessel. Proper spacing helps maximize flow from the lower liquid level through the upper regions of the tank.
## **What mixer works best for wastewater polymers?**
Wastewater polymers typically require controlled mixing with minimal shear. Mixer selection should be based on polymer characteristics, tank geometry, liquid level, and required circulation.
## **What mixer works best for fertilizer storage tanks?**
Fertilizer applications often require circulation to prevent settling and maintain product uniformity. Multiple blade sets positioned along the shaft can help keep material moving throughout the tank.
## **Can a tank mixer improve product consistency?**
Yes. Proper circulation distributes ingredients evenly and reduces variation throughout the vessel.
## **What is low-shear mixing?**
Low-shear mixing minimizes stress on sensitive products while still providing effective circulation.
## **Why is blade design important in tank mixing?**
Blade geometry directly affects circulation patterns, fluid movement, and overall mixing efficiency.
## **What makes EvenMix® Tank Mixers different?**
EvenMix® Tank Mixers are lightweight and often mount directly to the dome of a plastic or metal tank through a 2″ NPT connection. Patented variable-pitch blades are placed along the shaft to create strong vertical and horizontal circulation without the heavy support structures often required by traditional tank mixers.
## **How can a tank mixer reduce operating costs?**
Efficient mixing can reduce batch times, minimize waste, improve consistency, and increase production throughput. A lightweight mixer may also reduce installation complexity compared with heavier systems.
## **What is the difference between a propeller mixer and a mixed-flow mixer?**
Traditional propeller mixers primarily move liquid in one direction and can create vortexes. Mixed-flow mixers create both vertical and horizontal circulation throughout the tank.

## **Can a clamp mount mixer be moved between containers?**
Yes. Portable clamp mount mixers can be quickly relocated between vessels.
## **Can Clamp Mount Mixers handle thicker materials?**
Yes. A single set of EvenMix® blades is typically sufficient for liquids up to approximately 4,000 cPs, depending on the container size and application. For materials above 4,000 cPs or when shorter mixing cycle times are desired, two or more blade sets are often recommended.
## **Do I need one set of blades or multiple sets of blades for a Clamp Mount Mixer?**
A single blade set is commonly used for lower-viscosity liquids and general mixing applications up to approximately 4,000 cPs. Multiple blade sets are often selected for higher-viscosity materials, larger containers, or applications where faster mixing is required.
## **What viscosity can an EvenMix® Clamp Mount Mixer handle?**
Viscosity capability depends on the blade configuration, container geometry, and product characteristics. Single blade sets are typically used up to approximately 4,000 cPs, while multiple blade sets are commonly used for higher-viscosity applications.
## **What is mixed-flow mixing?**
Mixed-flow mixing combines axial and radial fluid movement to improve circulation throughout the vessel.
## **Why choose a lightweight mixer?**
Lightweight mixers are easier to install, operate, and relocate while reducing strain on operators.
## **How do clamp mount mixers improve efficiency?**
Portable mixers increase equipment utilization by allowing one mixer to support multiple processes and containers.
## **What is the difference between a clamp mount mixer and a tank mixer?**
Clamp mount mixers prioritize portability and flexibility. Tank mixers are typically dedicated to larger fixed installations.
## **What is the difference between a propeller mixer and a mixed-flow mixer?**
Traditional propeller mixers primarily move liquid in one direction. Mixed-flow mixers create circulation throughout the vessel for more uniform mixing.

## Tote Mixer Design
[The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer//) is powerful, low weight, and easy to handle. We designed the mixing system tough enough to handle your most challenging mixing situations but lightweight enough for one person to complete the job.
The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer system is built tough, effective, and reliable. Its award winning design is the most effective in its class.
EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixers are made from hardened steel and engineered to withstand 800 inch pounds of force. The In-Plant IBC Mixer is coated with [Powder Coat Epoxy](https://www.wrightcoating.com/coatings-applied/coatings/epoxy-powder-coating)– the same coating used in the toughest applications. The After-Market IBC Tote Mixer is made from non-reactive 316 Stainless Steel.
With an even mix of your resins or materials throughout an IBC, you can reduce your raw material inputs and save money.
EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer is designed to provide an even distribution of materials throughout an IBC. The Mixed Flow Blades are unique in their design and shape. They fold to allow insertion through the 6″ opening while unfolding to mix the contents throughout the IBC evenly.
Our IBC Mixer features our bottom larger blade (16 inches unfolded) and it does a great job, especially given that it is entering through 6 inch bung opening. Our fixed blade mixers like our [55 gallon drum mixer](https://evenmix.com/55-gallon-drum-mixer/) are available with one mixing blade or two. When the second mixing blade is added to the middle of the shaft it actually is inverted when compared to the bottom blade. The bottom blade pumps up while the top blade pumps down. Through testing we determined that in a 55 gallon barrel the bottom blade pumps up around the outer diameter of the drum cylinder while the inner diameter feeds liquid down to feed the bottom pump. The top blade facilitates that complete pumping action.
It might just look like another variable pitch blade, but it’s specifically designed with a purpose. Everything we do has a purpose at EvenMix®™.

## Frequently Asked Questions About IBC Tote Mixers
### **What is the best mixer for an IBC tote?**
The best IBC tote mixer creates circulation throughout the entire container, not just near the surface. EvenMix® uses patented variable-pitch blades that deploy to 16″ diameter and 4″ tall inside the tote.
### **How do EvenMix® mixers fit inside an IBC tote?**
EvenMix® mixers are typically mounted to the IBC cap before the cap is installed on the tote. The folding blades pass through the cap assembly and deploy to 16″ diameter x 4″ tall inside the container.
### **Can you mix an IBC tote without removing the entire tote lid?**
Yes. EvenMix® mixers mount to the tote cap rather than requiring removal of the entire tote lid. In most applications, the mixer is attached to the cap first and then the cap is installed onto the tote.
### **How does an EvenMix® Tote Mixer attach to an IBC tote?**
EvenMix® Tote Mixers attach to the standard IBC cap, which is typically 6″ in diameter and contains a 2″ NPT female opening. The mixer mounts to the cap assembly while the folding blades deploy to 16″ diameter x 4″ tall inside the tote.
### **What size opening does an EvenMix® Tote Mixer use?**
EvenMix® Tote Mixers mount to a standard 6″ IBC cap with a 2″ NPT female opening. This allows the mixer to attach securely to the cap while placing the shaft and folding blades into the tote.
### **What is the EvenMix® Anti-Contamination Fitting?**
The Anti-Contamination Fitting allows the mixer assembly to remain installed in the tote independent of the drive. This helps reduce cross-contamination while allowing one drive to be shared across multiple containers.
### **Can one drive be used on multiple IBC totes?**
Yes. The mixer assembly can remain installed in each tote while a single drive is moved between containers as needed.
### **Why do materials settle in IBC totes?**
Materials separate when heavier ingredients, pigments, or solids naturally settle during storage. Mixing restores product consistency before use.
### **How do you keep solids suspended in an IBC tote?**
Keeping solids suspended requires circulation throughout the container. EvenMix® mixed-flow blades create both vertical and horizontal fluid movement.
### **What is 3D mixing?**
3D mixing combines vertical and horizontal circulation throughout the container. This helps reduce dead zones and improve blend consistency.
### **Why is blade size important in tote mixing?**
Larger blades move more liquid with each revolution and improve circulation throughout the tote. EvenMix® tote blades deploy to 16″ diameter and 4″ tall inside the container.
### **What makes EvenMix® different from other tote mixers?**
EvenMix® uses patented variable-pitch folding blades that deploy to 16″ diameter through a standard IBC cap assembly. Many competing fixed-blade tote mixers use significantly smaller blade diameters.
### **Can IBC Tote Mixers handle thicker materials?**
Yes. A single set of EvenMix® blades is typically sufficient for liquids up to approximately 4,000 cPs, depending on the tote contents and application. For materials above 4,000 cPs or when shorter cycle times are desired, two or more blade sets are often recommended.
### **Do I need one set of blades or multiple sets of blades for an IBC tote?**
A single blade set is commonly used for lower-viscosity liquids and general tote mixing applications up to approximately 4,000 cPs. Multiple blade sets are often selected for higher-viscosity materials, settled products, or applications where faster mixing is required.
### **What mixer works best for fertilizer in an IBC tote?**
Fertilizers often settle during storage and require strong circulation to resuspend solids. Mixed-flow blade designs help restore a uniform mixture before application.
### **What mixer works best for polymers?**
Polymers typically require circulation without excessive air entrainment or shear. Proper fluid movement throughout the tote helps maintain product performance.
### **What mixer works best for adhesives?**
Adhesives require uniform mixing to maintain consistency and product quality. Full-container circulation helps distribute ingredients throughout the tote.
### **What mixer works best for paint and coatings?**
Paints and coatings require circulation that keeps pigments suspended throughout the container. Complete fluid movement helps maintain color and consistency.
### **Can one person install an IBC tote mixer?**
Yes. EvenMix® mixers are designed to be lightweight and are typically installed and removed by a single operator.
### **How long does it take to mix an IBC tote?**
Mixing time depends on viscosity, volume, solids content, and blade configuration. Strong circulation generally improves remixing performance and consistency.
### **What is the difference between a propeller mixer and a mixed-flow mixer?**
Traditional propeller mixers primarily move liquid in one direction. Mixed-flow mixers create both vertical and horizontal circulation throughout the container.

# IBC Tote Mixers for Water Treatment Polymer and Flocculant
**Keep emulsion polymer uniform from the first gallon to the last.**
Liquid emulsion polymers stratify in storage. A portable, low-shear IBC tote mixer restores uniformity in the neat polymer before it reaches the feed and activation system — without a dedicated recirculation loop at every tote.
[ Discuss Your Polymer Application ](https://evenmix.com/contact-us/)
## Quick Answer: What Polymer Tote Mixing Is and Why Operators Do It
Polymer tote mixing — also called reagitation or rehomogenization — is the gentle, low-shear circulation of neat liquid emulsion polymer inside its IBC tote before that polymer is transferred into a feed or make-down system. It is done because emulsion polymers can separate during storage, meaning the material drawn from a tote late in its life may not match that drawn from it when the tote was new.
Reagitation is not the same as polymer activation. Reagitation happens **before** the feed system, inside the tote, at low speed. Activation happens **after** the polymer meets dilution water, in the make-down system.
## Why Emulsion Polymer Separates During Storage
Many liquid polymer flocculants used in water treatment are supplied as **inverse emulsions**: a polymer gel phase dispersed within a hydrocarbon-based continuous phase. Because those phases have different specific gravities, gravity acts on them differently over time.
### What Is Inside an Emulsion Polymer Tote
Water Environment Federation training materials illustrate a representative emulsion-polymer composition as approximately:
| **Component** | **Approximate proportion** |
|---|---|
| Polymer gel | 40% |
| Water | 30% |
| Hydrocarbon oil | 30% |
In that same example, the polymer gel particles measure roughly 0.1–2 microns. \[2\]
### What Separation Looks Like
As the phases stratify, a stored tote can develop:
- A more oil-rich layer toward the top
- A more polymer-rich or thickened layer toward the bottom
- Progressive variation in the material withdrawn as the tote empties
- A source of inconsistency that reaches the activation system before anyone measures it
### How Long Does It Take for Emulsion Polymer to Separate?
Visible layering is not immediate, and its absence does not prove the tote is uniform. One polyacrylamide-emulsion handling handbook reports that an observable oil layer may not appear for three to four months in many formulations, even though separation behavior can begin earlier. \[3\]
The practical implication: **judging tote uniformity by looking through the fill port is unreliable.** Handling decisions should follow the supplier’s storage and agitation guidance rather than visual inspection alone.
“Our EvenMix mixer has been working great and has saved us a lot of money and time. We use it to mix polymer in 275-gallon totes at our 34 million gallon-per-day potable water treatment plant. Before installing the EvenMix mixer package, our polymer was separating and going bad before we were able to use the entire tote - which meant wasting product, purchasing additional chemical, and paying disposal fees. The mixer has certainly paid for itself and has remained reliable.”
-Evan Dewindy - Water Treatment Facilities Supervisor I Olivenhain Municipal Water District

## What Industry and Supplier Guidance Says
### Water Environment Federation
The Water Environment Federation states that emulsion polymer tends to stratify during storage and identifies two methods for addressing it before the neat polymer enters the activation system: \[1\]
1. A drum or tote mixer
2. A recirculation pump
WEF operator guidance also cites a typical recommended storage range of **41–86°F (5–30°C)** and a **six-month shelf life** for properly stored emulsion polymer. \[1\]
### Solenis
The [product data sheet for **Zetag™ 9248FS**](https://www.solenis.com/globalassets/resources/brochures/pym-pds-emea-zetag_9248fs-r1.pdf), a high-molecular-weight cationic polyacrylamide emulsion flocculant, states that prolonged storage — particularly at elevated temperatures — can cause the product to separate into layers, and that **gentle agitation is needed to reverse that layering**. The data sheet also directs users to gently stir or recirculate product in bulk storage, to keep IBCs out of direct sunlight, and to avoid outdoor storage without indirect temperature control. \[4\]
### SNF Polyacrylamide Emulsions Handbook
An [SNF polyacrylamide-emulsion handbook](http://www.snf.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/Preparation-of-organic-polymers.pdf) recommends homogenizing emulsions stored for more than one month before use, and emphasizes: \[3\]
- Gentle agitation
- Short mixing periods
- Avoiding excessive shear
- Avoiding prolonged agitation
For tote containers, the handbook gives a recommended agitation time of approximately **10** **minutes every 2 to 3 days, and immediately before use.** \[3\]
### Storage and Shelf-Life Figures Vary by Supplier and Product
General industry guidance and individual product data sheets do not always agree, and both change over time.
| **Source** | **Storage range** | **Stated shelf life** |
|---|---|---|
| Water Environment Federation (general emulsion polymer guidance) | 41–86°F / 5–30°C | 6 months \[1\] |
| Solenis Zetag™ 9248FS product data sheet (EMEA revision) | 5–35°C, not exceeding 40°C for prolonged periods | 12 months from date of manufacture in original packaging \[4\] |
**The polymer supplier’s product-specific documentation always takes precedence over general guidance, including anything on this page.**
## Does a Diaphragm Pump Already Mix the Tote?
Ordinarily, no.
A diaphragm pump transfers or meters polymer out of a tote. Drawing product from the bottom of a container does not circulate the container. A pump only homogenizes a tote when it is built into a properly designed recirculation loop that returns material to the vessel.
Even where a recirculation loop exists, many polymer manufacturers still recommend low-shear mechanical agitation to confirm the vessel is uniform throughout — not just along the path the loop happens to sweep.
**The question worth asking:** is the polymer entering your feed system near the end of a tote still representative of the polymer that entered it at the beginning?
## Tote Mixer vs. Recirculation Pump: How the Two Approaches Compare
WEF identifies both as valid methods. They differ in installation burden, portability, and what they leave behind.
| **Consideration** | **Portable tote mixer** | **Recirculation pump loop** |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Inserted through the tote’s 6″ opening; removed when finished | Dedicated pump, return piping, hoses, and valves at each location |
| Portability | One unit can serve multiple compatible totes | Generally fixed to a feed point |
| Coverage | Mechanical circulation through the body of the container | Depends on loop design, return placement, and flow path |
| Cleaning | Mixer assembly is removed and cleaned | Piping and hoses require a cleaning procedure |
| Footprint | Stored off the floor when not in use | Permanent equipment at each tote position |
| Best suited to | Multiple feed points, frequent tote changes, temporary or mobile systems, limited floor space | Permanent single-point installations where the loop is already engineered |
Neither approach is universally correct. Facilities with an engineered recirculation loop already in service may not need a separate mixer; facilities with several feed points, frequent tote turnover, or no existing return piping often find the portable option easier to standardize around.
## Reagitation and Activation Are Not the Same Process
This is one of the most consequential distinctions in polymer handling, and one of the easiest to blur.
| | **Tote reagitation** | **Polymer activation (make-down)** |
|---|---|---|
| Where it happens | Inside the IBC, in neat concentrated polymer | Downstream, after the polymer meets dilution water |
| Purpose | Restore uniformity before transfer | Invert, dissolve, and uncoil the polymer chains |
| Mixing energy | Gentle, low speed, low shear | Higher energy at initial wetting, then lower energy |
| Duration | Short and intermittent | Governed by the make-down system design |
| Equipment | Tote mixer or recirculation loop | Feed pump, make-down unit, aging tank, injection system |
Activation requires higher mixing energy during initial wetting to disperse the emulsion into water, followed by lower-energy mixing to prevent the activated polymer chains from being sheared apart. \[1\]\[2\]
**An IBC tote mixer addresses the storage stage only.** It does not replace the polymer feed pump, make-down or activation system, aging tank, or injection equipment.
## Why Aggressive Mixing Is the Wrong Goal
The objective inside the tote is gentle, controlled rehomogenization — not dispersion.
Excessive shear or prolonged agitation can destabilize some neat polymer emulsions, and excessive mixing after activation can break the long polymer chains that enable flocculation. High-speed, high-shear agitation can render some polymers less effective. \[1\]\[3\]\[4\]
Non-aggressive reagitation is a reasonable general practice at many water treatment operations. It is not a substitute for the material’s own handling instructions, which should govern mixing speed, duration, and frequency.
## What Can Happen When a Tote Is Not Uniform
Polymer performance problems can have many possible causes, including changes in sludge characteristics, dosage, influent quality, temperature, feed equipment, and activation efficiency. Tote stratification is one additional variable, and one that is easy to overlook because it is invisible from outside the container.
A nonuniform tote may contribute to:
- Inconsistent floc formation, settling, or clarification
- Variable dewatering performance or a wetter sludge cake
- Higher solids or turbidity in treated water
- Underfeeding, overfeeding, or repeated operator adjustments
- Changing pump or transfer behavior as the tote empties
- Thickened material remaining near the bottom of the container
- Operators suspecting a bad batch when storage separation may be involved
Reagitation will not solve every polymer performance problem, and this page does not suggest it will. What it does is remove one avoidable variable, so that troubleshooting can focus on the process rather than the container.
There is also a recovery argument. Thickened material left at the bottom of a tote is purchased product that never reaches the process, and totes returned with polymer residue may require cleaning before they can be recycled or sent back to the supplier.
## Signs Your Polymer Tote Handling Is Worth Reviewing
These indicators do not prove stratification is occurring. They indicate an application worth investigating.
- Emulsion polymer regularly sits unused for days or weeks
- Process performance appears to shift over the life of a single tote
- Product near the bottom of the tote looks or pumps differently
- The transfer pump struggles as the tote approaches empty
- Meaningful volume remains in totes at changeout
- Totes are exposed to large temperature swings
- Polymer has previously frozen or been stored outside its recommended range
- Your polymer supplier’s documentation recommends agitation or recirculation before use
## How the EvenMix IBC Tote Mixer Works
EvenMix is a United States manufacturer of portable, modular mixing equipment for IBC totes, drums, and pails. For water treatment polymer, the relevant product is a lightweight tote mixer that an operator carries to the tote, inserts through the standard opening, runs at low speed, then removes and cleans.
### The Blade Design
The mixer uses patented variable-pitch folding blades. The blades fold to pass through the tote’s 6″ bung opening and open to **16 inches in diameter** once inside the container — a working diameter that would otherwise be impossible to introduce through a standard IBC fitting.
In the two-blade configuration, both blade sets work together to provide axial and radial flow patterns within the container. This bidirectional mixing flow ensures the entire container remains homogeneous and helps break up settled material in the corners and at the bottom of the container. This allows full use of the container’s material without shearing it or trapping air in a vortex.
### Published Specifications
| **Specification** | **Detail** |
|---|---|
| Blade diameter (unfolded) | 16″ |
| Blade and shaft material | 316 stainless steel |
| Standard shaft length | 32″ (customizable up to 45″ for standard IBC totes) |
| Tote opening | 6″ cap included; 9″ and other caps available on request |
| Blade sets | One or two; blade sets are adjustable vertically along the shaft |
| Digital drive speed range | 20 preset speeds, approximately 27–153 RPM, with multiple mixing modes |
| Viscosity capability | Two-blade configuration rated for materials upward of 20,000 cP (intermittent duty) |
| Complete package weight | Approximately 12–18 lb depending on drive |
| Design intent | Low- to no-shear circulation without air entrainment |
### Why Low Weight and Modularity Matter in a Polymer Room
Full IBC totes are heavy and are positioned around existing pumps, make-down systems, and process equipment. They are not moved casually. A complete mixer package in the 12–18 lb range can be carried to the tote and installed by one person without a forklift, pallet jack, or tow motor — so the mixer goes to the material rather than the material going to the mixer.
Modularity matters for a second reason: the drive is separable from the mixer assembly. If a drive fails, it is swapped for another in seconds rather than routed through maintenance or an outside service call. Drives can be returned to EvenMix for repair when needed.
That flexibility is most valuable at facilities with multiple polymer feed points, frequent tote changes, temporary or mobile treatment equipment, or constrained floor space.
## Choosing a Power Option: Digital, Air, or Battery
All three packages use the same reusable double-blade platform on a 32″ shaft. They differ only in how the drive is powered, so selection usually comes down to which utility is already available at the tote.
| | **120V Digital** **D-6-32-0-16-04-2-2** | **Air-Driven** **A-6-32-0-16-04-2-2** | **Battery-Powered** **B-6-32-0-16-04-2-2** |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power source | Standard 120V outlet | Clean, dry compressed air | DeWalt or Milwaukee battery |
| Approximate package weight | 18 lb | 12 lb | 18 lb (excluding battery) |
| Speed control | Digital preset speeds / ~150 Max RPM | Air pressure and airflow control | Digital preset speeds / ~100 Max RPM |
| Site requirement | Outlet near the tote | Air supply and air-preparation equipment | Charged batteries on hand – mobile operation |
| At the mixing location | Power cord | Air hose | No cord or hose |
| Best suited to | Indoor polymer-feed areas with standard electrical service | Plants standardized on pneumatic equipment, or no outlet near the tote | Remote totes, outdoor areas, mobile and temporary systems |
### [120V Digital IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-ibc-tote-mixer-1-hp-electric-geared-drive-w-2-sets-of-blades/) — D-6-32-0-16-04-2-2
The most straightforward option where standard electrical service reaches the tote. Plug-in operation, adjustable low-speed circulation, two patented variable-pitch folding blade sets positioned vertically along a 32″ shaft, and a fully modular assembly that is removed and cleaned between uses. Commonly specified for municipal wastewater plants, industrial treatment facilities, and indoor polymer-feed rooms.
### [Air-Driven IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-ibc-tote-mixer-1-25-hp-air-geared-drive-2-sets-of-blades/) — A-6-32-0-16-04-2-2
The lightest of the three packages, and the option for facilities that prefer pneumatic equipment or lack convenient power at the tote. Speed is controlled through air pressure and airflow. The drive requires an adequate supply of clean, dry compressed air and appropriate air-preparation equipment.
**Hazardous-area note:** the standard EvenMix air-driven package is a non-sparking air drive and **is not represented as ATEX-certified.** Site-specific hazardous-area classification and requirements should be reviewed before selecting any equipment for a classified location.
### [Battery-Powered IBC Tote Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/evenmix-1-hp-battery-powered-digital-ibc-tote-mixer-2-sets-of-blades/) — B-6-32-0-16-04-2-2
Maximum portability, with no cord or hose at the mixing location. Runs on commonly available DeWalt or Milwaukee batteries, which most maintenance departments already stock and charge.
As a planning figure, EvenMix reports roughly **one hour of mixing per 2Ah of battery capacity at maximum speed in a thick material** — so a 6Ah battery yields approximately three hours under those conditions. Actual runtime depends on battery capacity, mixer speed, polymer characteristics, and operating conditions, and will generally be longer at the low speeds appropriate for polymer reagitation. When a battery runs down, it is swapped for a charged one.
Particularly useful for remote tote-storage areas, mobile water-treatment systems, temporary installations, outdoor applications, and facilities moving a single mixer between locations.
## How to Reagitate a Polymer Tote
Follow the polymer supplier’s documented procedure first. Where that documentation is silent on method, the following sequence reflects the general practice described in the guidance cited on this page.
1. **Check the supplier’s handling instructions.** Confirm whether agitation is recommended, and note any stated limits on duration, frequency, or shear.
2. **Confirm storage conditions.** Verify the tote has been held within the supplier’s recommended temperature range and has not frozen. Material stored outside that range may need supplier review before use, not just mixing.
3. **Insert the mixer through the tote opening.** The folding blades pass through the 6″ bung and open inside the container. Position the blade sets vertically along the shaft to suit the tote’s fill level.
4. **Start at low speed.** Begin at the low end of the speed range and increase only as needed to establish visible circulation. The goal is bulk movement of the container’s contents, not turbulence or vortexing.
5. **Run for a short, defined period.** Published emulsion-handbook guidance recommends roughly 10 minutes for tote containers, repeated every 2 to 3 days during storage and immediately before use. \[3\] Confirm against your supplier’s recommendation.
6. **Avoid continuous operation** unless the polymer supplier specifically recommends it. Prolonged agitation is cautioned against in the guidance cited here. \[3\]\[4\]
7. **Remove and clean the assembly.** Clean the shaft and blades before moving the mixer to a different polymer to prevent cross-contamination between products.
**Common mistakes:** running at high speed to “mix faster,” leaving the mixer running between transfers, judging uniformity visually, and using the same uncleaned assembly across different polymer chemistries.
## Where Polymer Tote Mixing Is Used
Water treatment extends well beyond municipal sewage. Polymers and flocculants are used across municipal and industrial systems to separate solids and contaminants before water is discharged, reused, or returned to production. \[5\]\[6\]
Common settings include:
- Municipal wastewater treatment
- Industrial wastewater treatment
- Sludge thickening and dewatering
- Belt presses, centrifuges, and filter presses
- Clarification processes
- Temporary and mobile treatment systems
- Polymer manufacturers and distributors supporting end-user facilities
Downstream industries treating or reusing process water include steel and metal manufacturing, pulp and paper, chemical manufacturing, food processing, mining and mineral processing, and power generation.
**Potable water note:** drinking water treatment carries additional requirements, including certification of treatment chemicals under NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 and confirmation that any equipment contacting the chemical is acceptable for that use. Not every emulsion flocculant is approved for potable applications. Confirm suitability with both the polymer supplier and the equipment manufacturer before specifying.
## What Polymer and Flocculant Actually Do
Fine particles in water are often too small, too light, or too electrostatically stable to settle on their own. Coagulants destabilize those particles; polymer flocculants then use long molecular chains to gather them into larger aggregates called flocs. \[5\]
Larger flocs are easier to settle, float, filter, clarify, or remove through a belt press, centrifuge, or other dewatering process — supporting clearer treated water, better sludge thickening, and more consistent dewatering.
**Terminology:** in water treatment, most flocculants are high-molecular-weight polymers, frequently polyacrylamide-based. “Polymer” describes the chemistry; “flocculant” describes the function. This page addresses liquid emulsion polymer flocculants supplied in IBC totes. \[5\]
## What an IBC Tote Mixer Does Not Do
Stating limits plainly is more useful than overselling.
- It does not replace a polymer feed pump, make-down or activation system, aging tank, or injection equipment.
- It does not correct polymer that has degraded from freezing, heat exposure, or age beyond its shelf life.
- It does not guarantee a reduction in polymer dosage. Consumption depends on the full process, and any dosage claim requires application-specific testing.
- It does not diagnose polymer performance problems with other root causes.
- It does not substitute for the supplier’s handling instructions.
## Frequently Asked Questions
### Does a diaphragm pump already mix the tote?
Not ordinarily. A diaphragm pump transfers or meters polymer out of the tote; it provides circulation only when incorporated into a recirculation system that returns polymer to the container. The Water Environment Federation identifies a tote mixer and a recirculation pump as two distinct approaches to stored-emulsion stratification. \[1\]
### Can excessive mixing damage polymer?
Yes — and so can using the wrong type of mixer. Excessive shear or prolonged agitation can destabilize some neat polymer emulsions, and excessive mixing after activation can damage the polymer chains. That is why the objective inside the tote is gentle, low-speed circulation rather than high-shear dispersion. \[1\]\[3\]\[4\]
### How long should a polymer tote be mixed?
There is no universal answer. One emulsion-polymer handbook recommends approximately 10 minutes every 2 to 3 days, and immediately before use, for example, for tote containers. \[3\] Other manufacturers publish different guidance. The correct procedure depends on the polymer formulation, storage period, temperature, tote condition, and mixer performance.
### Should the mixer run continuously?
Usually not, unless the polymer supplier specifically recommends it. Both the Solenis guidance and the polyacrylamide-emulsion handbook caution against unnecessary continuous or prolonged agitation in the applications they address. \[3\]\[4\]
### Can an IBC tote mixer replace the polymer activation system?
No. The mixer reagitates neat polymer inside the storage tote. The feed, make-down, activation, aging, and injection systems continue to perform their existing functions.
### Will tote mixing reduce polymer consumption?
It may improve consistency and product recovery in some applications, but results depend on the specific process. EvenMix does not claim a guaranteed reduction in polymer dosage without application-specific testing. The immediate objective is to restore uniformity within the tote and remove one potential source of process variation. Many EvenMix customers find that once they implement an EvenMix mixer package, they use their polymer more effectively and with less waste when the tote is drained; however, every situation is different and can depend on factors beyond the mixer itself.
### Is the mixer compatible with my polymer?
Blades and shaft are 316 stainless steel. Confirm compatibility against the polymer’s safety data sheet and the supplier’s materials guidance for your specific product, especially for potable water applications or unusual formulations.
### Can one mixer serve multiple totes?
Yes. The assembly is designed to be moved between compatible IBC totes and removed when mixing is complete. Clean the shaft and blades between different polymer products to avoid cross-contamination.
### Why does portability matter in a water treatment facility?
Polymer totes sit at different feed points and are changed as plant demand shifts. A mixer light enough to be carried and installed by one person can serve several compatible totes and be removed afterward — reducing the need to reposition full IBCs or install separate mixing hardware at every location.
## Talk Through Your Polymer Application
Polymer formulations, tote dimensions, storage conditions, and supplier handling recommendations all vary.

## INDUSTRIES WE SERVE - water treatment
Water Treatment Facilities need mixing for three primary benefits:
- Mix and Keep Chemicals in Solution
- Even Distribution of Solids within a Tank
- Keep Contents Circulating and Avoid Settling
You need to get chemicals and solids (such as lime) mixed together or dispersed into water evenly and consistency. Once you’ve gotten them mixed you need them to stay mixed. We have the experience with designing and installing top mixers to get the job done complete and much more cost effectively than submersible or air mixers. You pay a lot for the water treatment chemicals and additives you use and you need them to stay in suspension. EvenMix®™ can easily be installed on an IBC or plastic tote for [**polymer mixing in totes**](https://evenmix.com/polymer-flocculant-tote-mixing/), as well as an open tank up to 5,000 gallons to mix the entire contents quickly and consistently.
## Types of Mixers
Most water treatment mixers look like boat props and produce a lot of vertical flow. These mixers are usually ran at high speeds and produce a deep vortex. They sheer the product and introduce air into the liquid. Others are impellers and produce only axial flow (outward horizontal flow). These mixers don’t create much circulation and don’t mix much vertically. Finally, there are pitched blades that have a constant pitch across the blade. They produce a significant vertical flow and a deep vortex. They don’t accomplish much horizontal mixing and introduce a lot of air into the liquid.
EvenMix®™ and our patented mixing blades are uniquely designed not chop and blend the inputs we give them movement. Our blade design creates a 3D circulation around the entire tank or vessel. Our water treatment mixing blades create circulation down and then out creating a cycling motion from bottom to top and inside to out. We used a NASA Engineer to design the optimum flow pattern for liquids to give you the best results. Notice that EvenMix®™ blades have a variable pitch. They begin at 90 degrees and bend gradually to 30 degrees at the end of the mixing blade. This variable pitch is the patented feature and creates circulation without high speed, a vortex, or sheer which are all undesirable outcomes when mixing.
The Stainless Steel 316 food grade components make cleanup a breeze and are easy to keep from interfering with heating coils and other elements of the tanks. The EvenMix®™ mixers are easy to integrate with Tri-Clamp Fittings. EvenMix®™ turns at 140 RPM which keeps the circulation gentle but effective. We pump down to mix and blend the contents and clear the bottom of the vessel.
We have integrated our mixers into all types of containers up to 1,500 gallons. We can interface with NPT openings, flanges, Tri-Clamp Fittings, and many others. Just call us to discuss your application at 440-236-6677. Check out our online store to see the EvenMix®™ mixing system with both air and electric driven mixers. Each mixing system has our patented mixing blades.
## water treatment - portable water and waste water
Water Treatment Facilities need mixing for three primary benefits:
- Mix and Keep Chemicals in Solution
- Even Distribution of Solids within a Tank
- Keep Contents Circulating and Avoid Settling
You need to get chemicals and solids (such as lime) mixed together or dispersed into water evenly and consistency. Once you’ve gotten them mixed you need them to stay mixed. We have the experience with designing and installing top mixers to get the job done complete and much more cost effectively than submersible or air mixers. You pay a lot for the water treatment chemicals and additives you use and you need them to stay in suspension. EvenMix®™ can easily be installed on an IBC or plastic tote as well as an open tank up to 5,000 gallons to mix the entire contents quickly and consistently.

## Frequently Asked Questions about Drum Mixers
## **What is a drum mixer?**
A drum mixer is used to blend, suspend, or remix materials inside drums and barrels. Drum mixers are commonly used for chemicals, paints, coatings, polymers, adhesives, fertilizers, and food ingredients.
## **What is the difference between a Drum Bung Mixer and a Drum Lid Mixer?**
A Drum Bung Mixer is used on a closed-head drum and installs through the standard 2″ bung opening. A Drum Lid Mixer is used on an open-head drum and mounts directly to the drum lid.
## **Can you mix a closed-head drum without removing the lid?**
Yes. EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixers install through the standard 2″ bung opening without removing the drum lid.
## **How does an EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixer fit through a 2-inch opening?**
The patented folding blades collapse to fit through the 2″ bung opening and then deploy inside the drum. Once opened, the blades expand to 15″ diameter and 2″ tall.
## **What is the best mixer for a closed-head 55-gallon drum?**
A mixer that can enter through the bung opening while still generating full-drum circulation is typically the best option. EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixers combine 2″ bung entry with a deployed 15″ diameter blade.
## **How large are the blades in an EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixer?**
EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixers use folding blades that deploy to 15″ diameter and 2″ tall inside the drum.
## **Why is the EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixer different from typical bung mixers?**
EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixers deploy to 15″ diameter inside the drum, while many traditional bung mixers use much smaller blades. The larger deployed blade creates more circulation throughout the closed-head container.
## **What is a Drum Lid Mixer?**
A Drum Lid Mixer mounts directly to the lid of an open-head drum. This allows a larger mixing assembly to be used inside the container.
## **How large are the blades in an EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer?**
EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixers use folding blades that deploy to 16″ diameter and 4″ tall inside the drum.
## **Why does the Drum Lid Mixer use a larger blade?**
Open-head drum installations allow a larger deployed blade profile. The larger blade creates greater circulation throughout the drum.
## **What is the best mixer for an open-head drum?**
A Drum Lid Mixer is often preferred when maximum circulation is desired. The larger blade profile helps move more material throughout the container.
## **Why is blade size important in drum mixing?**
Larger blades move more liquid and improve circulation throughout the container. EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixers deploy to 15″ diameter while Drum Lid Mixers deploy to 16″ diameter.
## **What makes EvenMix® drum mixers different?**
EvenMix® drum mixers use patented variable-pitch folding blades that create both vertical and horizontal circulation. Depending on the drum style, the blades deploy to either 15″ or 16″ diameter.
## **Can Drum Mixers handle thicker materials?**
Yes. A single set of EvenMix® blades is typically sufficient for liquids up to approximately 4,000 cPs, depending on the container and application. For materials above 4,000 cPs or when shorter cycle times are desired, two or more blade sets are often recommended.
## **Do I need one set of blades or multiple sets of blades for drum mixing?**
A single blade set is commonly used for lower-viscosity liquids and general drum mixing up to approximately 4,000 cPs. Multiple blade sets are often selected for thicker materials, settled products, or faster mixing cycles.
## **How do you remix settled material in a drum?**
Settled material is remixed by creating circulation that lifts solids from the bottom and redistributes them throughout the liquid.
## **How do you mix paint in a 55-gallon drum?**
Paint requires circulation that keeps pigments and solids suspended throughout the batch. Mixed-flow circulation helps distribute material throughout the entire drum.
## **How do you mix resins in a drum?**
Resins require complete circulation to maintain consistency throughout the container. Proper mixer selection depends on viscosity and processing requirements.
## **What industries use drum mixers?**
Drum mixers are commonly used in chemical processing, coatings, agriculture, food production, adhesives, manufacturing, and water treatment.
## **What is the difference between a propeller mixer and a mixed-flow mixer?**
Traditional propeller mixers primarily move liquid in one direction and can create vortexes. Mixed-flow mixers create both vertical and horizontal circulation throughout the drum.

## 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.

## 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

## INDUSTRIES WE SERVE - ink paint and coatings
Those that manufacture or work with ink, paint, and coatings face unique mixing challenges:
- Mix to Achieve Total Consistency – Quality
- Do Not Sheer or Introduce Air During the Mixing Process
- Low Weight Equipment – Easy to Move
Your product quality comes from an even and consistent mix. Whether you are mixing various chemicals to achieve a consistency or mixing in solids such you need an even mix. Your product quality is everything. Products should be produced with a consistent mixture and need to retain that consistency. How do you ensure that your customer will get the same quality as when you produced it? Don’t leave quality to chance. Control your product quality by using the right mixer at your business and in the field. EvenMix®™ can easily be installed to travel in a drum or IBC Tote. The mixer can travel in the container and simply have an EvenMix®™ air or electric drive connected at your customer to achieve the same product mix quality as when it was produced.
## Types of Mixers
Most chemicals mixers look like boat props and produce a lot of vertical flow. These mixers are usually ran at high speeds and produce a deep vortex. They sheer the product and introduce air into the liquid. Others are impellers and produce only axial flow (outward horizontal flow). These mixers don’t create much circulation and don’t mix much vertically. Finally, there are pitched blades that have a constant pitch across the blade. They produce a significant vertical flow and a deep vortex. They don’t accomplish much horizontal mixing and introduce a lot of air into the chemicals. We don’t sheer and don’t introduce air into your chemicals.
EvenMix®™ and our patented mixing blades are uniquely designed not chop and blend the inputs we give them movement. Our blade design creates a 3D circulation around the entire tank or vessel. Our mixing blades create circulation down and then out creating a cycling motion from bottom to top and inside to out. We used a NASA Engineer to design the optimum flow pattern for liquids to give you the best results. Notice that EvenMix®™ blades have a variable pitch. They begin at 90 degrees and bend gradually to 30 degrees at the end of the mixing blade. This variable pitch is the patented feature and creates circulation without high speed, a vortex, or sheer which are all undesirable outcomes when mixing.
Our mixers are made with non reactive and food grade Stainless Steel 316 on all of the wetted parts. The mixer is sealed to insure that gear box grease doesn’t make it into your product. The components of the mixer are easy to disassemble, clean, and put back together. Cross Contamination is a primary concern of your industry and we have an innovative product that you’ll be interested in. Our air or electric drive are able to be used with multiple mixers. They are easy to connect and disconnect to mixers allowing the mixer to be dedicated to a specific product and avoiding cross contamination.
We have integrated our mixers into all types of containers up to 5,000 gallons. We can interface with NPT openings, flanges, Tri-Clamp Fittings, and many others. Just call us to discuss your application at 440-236-6677. Check out our online store to see the EvenMix®™ mixing system with both air and electric driven mixers. Each mixing system has our patented mixing blades.

## INDUSTRIES WE SERVE - oil, gas and mining
Oil Gas and Mining companies and service providers need mixing for three primary benefits:
- Mix and Keep Chemicals in Solution
- Even Distribution of Solids within a Tank
- Safety as it relates to mixing potential explosive components
You need to get chemicals and solids mixed together or dispersed into water evenly and consistency. Once you’ve gotten them mixed you need them to stay mixed. We have the experience with designing and installing top mixers to get the job done complete and much more cost effectively than submersible or air mixers. You pay a lot for the chemicals and additives you use and you need them to stay in suspension. EvenMix®™ can easily be installed on an IBC or plastic tote as well as an open tank up to 5,000 gallons to mix the entire contents quickly and consistently.

Those that manufacture or work with chemicals face unique mixing challenges:
- Mix to Achieve Total Consistency – Quality
- Do Not Sheer or Introduce Air During the Mixing Process
- Low Weight Equipment – Easy to Move
Your product quality comes from an even and consistent mix. Whether you are mixing various chemicals to achieve a consistency or mixing in solids, you need an even mix. Your product quality is everything. Products should be produced with a consistent mixture and need to retain that consistency. How do you ensure that your customer will get the same quality as when you produced it? Don’t leave quality to chance. Control your product quality by using the right mixer at your business and in the field. EvenMix®™ can easily be installed to travel in a drum or IBC Tote. The mixer can travel in the container and simply have an EvenMix®™ air or electric drive connected at your customer to achieve the same product mix quality as when it was produced.
## Types of Mixers
Most chemicals mixers look like boat props and produce a lot of vertical flow. These mixers are usually ran at high speeds and produce a deep vortex. They sheer the product and introduce air into the liquid. Others are impellers and produce only axial flow (outward horizontal flow). These mixers don’t create much circulation and don’t mix much vertically. Finally, there are pitched blades that have a constant pitch across the blade. They produce a significant vertical flow and a deep vortex. They don’t accomplish much horizontal mixing and introduce a lot of air into the chemicals. We don’t sheer and don’t introduce air into your chemicals.
EvenMix®™ and our patented mixing blades are uniquely designed not chop and blend the inputs we give them movement. Our blade design creates a 3D circulation around the entire tank or vessel. Our mixing blades create circulation down and then out creating a cycling motion from bottom to top and inside to out. We used a NASA Engineer to design the optimum flow pattern for liquids to give you the best results. Notice that EvenMix®™ blades have a variable pitch. They begin at 90 degrees and bend gradually to 30 degrees at the end of the mixing blade. This variable pitch is the patented feature and creates circulation without high speed, a vortex, or sheer which are all undesirable outcomes when mixing.
Our mixers are made with non reactive and food grade Stainless Steel 316 on all of the wetted parts. The mixer is sealed to insure that gear box grease doesn’t make it into your product. The components of the mixer are easy to disassemble, clean, and put back together. Cross Contamination is a primary concern of your industry and we have an innovative product that you’ll be interested in. Our air or electric drive are able to be used with multiple mixers. They are easy to connect and disconnect to mixers allowing the mixer to be dedicated to a specific product and avoiding cross contamination.
We have integrated our mixers into all types of containers up to 5,000 gallons. We can interface with NPT openings, flanges, Tri-Clamp Fittings, and many others. Just call us to discuss your application at 440-236-6677. Check out our online store to see the EvenMix®™ mixing system with both air and electric driven mixers. Each mixing system has our patented mixing blades.

## INDUSTRIES WE SERVE - lawn and tree fertilizer
How the EvenMix®™ Mixer Solved a Seemingly Unsolvable Industrial Mixing Problem?
Lawn and tree fertilizer organic products have become increasingly common in recent years with some formulations inherently being more effective than others. However, one of the issues almost all these products face is during the manufacturing process. Manufacturing organic products are challenging for two main reasons: the first being that ensuring that every batch is consistently effective isn’t easy as some people may assume and the second being that the consistency of each batch depends a great deal on how well it is mixed.
All organic weed killers, for instance, like the ones sold by Good Nature, requires a homogenous mixture. However, that’s easier said than done because the ingredients will often stick to the sides and bottom of a tote, for instance with a conventional mixer. Furthermore, the larger the batch, the more difficult mixing it can become and the longer it can take. Plus all that effort also translates to more power consumed during the mixing process, which doesn’t make them as environmentally friendly as they ought to be. That’s a problem that our EvenMix®™ Mixer solved and here’s how!
NASA Engineer Designed Mixing Blades
Almost every industrial tote mixer out there uses a set of standard mixing blades which are limited for most use cases. Even when paired with an extremely powerful motor, the blades aren’t able to accomplish much beyond just increasing their RPMs. The problem is their inefficient design that despite the higher RPM, does not result in a homogenous solution. Furthermore, they may compound the problem by injecting air and sheer into the solution.
EvenMix®™ mixers use revolutionary blade design, a design that’s been tested and honed by a former NASA engineer. The newly designed blades can blend all types of lawn and tree fertilizers, and all whilst requiring less power. The mixing blades prevent the contents from sticking to the sides and the bottom of the container resulting in a consistent homogenous solution across every mixed batch.
Less Power Consumption and More Ecofriendly
Gas-powered plants still power a significant part of the country and so the more electricity we can conserve, the better it is for the environment. Fortunately, EvenMix®™ tote mixers require far less power as compared to conventional mixers. However, they can achieve much more than regular mixers, which helps improve the bottom line for companies while ensuring Eco-friendliness.
Lightweight Mixing Ideal for Small Manufacturing Facilities
The large majority of lawn and tree fertilizers are made in small manufacturing facilities with a limited number of employees. However, when it comes time to mix a large batch of a product, they either need multiple people to hoist the mixer or a forklift, either way, the weight is a problem that requires additional resources.
The EvenMix®™ tote mixers are low weight and easy to hoist, they are so light that anyone can lift them and onto a tote. Not only that but this low weight design is made possible without compromising on speed, efficiency, or power. That’s why EvenMix®™ is an excellent choice for small scale manufacturing where resources are limited.

## INDUSTRIES WE SERVE - DISTILLERY, BREWERY, AND WINERY
Distillers, Brewers, and Wine Makers rely on EvenMix®™ to effectively circulate their ingredients for three primary benefits:
Effective Mixing of Ingredients
Even Heat Dispersion
Keep Ingredients Circulating and Avoid Settling
You’ve developed a flavor and process that your customers’ love. You need a repeatable process to produce consistent product with the same taste throughout. Your customers want to experience your unique product and enjoy the same taste each time. Mixing is a critical element of the distillery, brewery, or winery process to release the desired flavors in a economical manner. Proper mixing can improve the product quality and profitability. At EvenMix®™ we work to support the art that goes into your product and give the best mixing technology to support your brand.
Most distillery, brewery, and winery mixers look like boat props and produce a lot of vertical flow. These mixers are usually ran at high speeds and produce a deep vortex. They sheer the product and introduce air into the liquid. Others are impellers and produce only axial flow (outward horizontal flow). These mixers don’t create much circulation and don’t mix much vertically. Finally, there are pitched blades that have a constant pitch across the blade. They produce a significant vertical flow and a deep vortex. They don’t accomplish much horizontal mixing and introduce a lot of air into the liquid.
EvenMix®™ and our patented mixing blades are uniquely designed for distilling, brewing, and wine making since we provide a low sheer (we don’t chop and blend the inputs we give them movement). Our blade design creates a 3D circulation around the entire tank or vessel. Our mixing blades create circulation down and then out creating a cycling motion from bottom to top and inside to out. We used a NASA Engineer to design the optimum flow pattern for liquids to give you the best results. Notice that EvenMix®™ blades have a variable pitch. They begin at 90 degrees and bend gradually to 30 degrees at the end of the mixing blade. This variable pitch is the patented feature and creates circulation without high speed, a vortex, or sheer which are all undesirable outcomes when mixing.
The Stainless Steel 316 food grade components make cleanup a breeze and are easy to keep from interfering with heating coils and other elements of the tanks. The EvenMix®™ mixers are easy to integrate with Tri-Clamp Fittings. EvenMix®™ turns at 140 RPM which keeps the circulation gentle but effective. We pump down to mix and blend the contents and clear the bottom of the vessel.
We have integrated our mixers into still’s, plastic IBC’s, drum’s, stainless steel IBC’s, all types of containers up to 1,500 gallons. We can interface with NPT openings, flanges, Tri-Clamp Fittings, and many others. Just call us to discuss your application at 440-236-6677.

“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 ](https://www.hbfuller.com/)
“In a Midwest lawncare business, like Good Nature Organic, sometimes organic fertilizers settle as they are unused for many months over the off season. We have always had problems with other agitators not cleaning the bottom or the corners of our IBC’s. After a long search, we tried EvenMix® IBC Mixer. 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 ](https://www.whygoodnature.com/)
“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!”

### Industries We Serve – Water Treatment
#  Water Treatment – Potable Water and Waste Water
Water Treatment Facilities need mixing for three primary benefits:
- Mix and Keep Chemicals in Solution
- Even Distribution of Solids within a Tank
- Keep Contents Circulating and Avoid Settling
You need to get chemicals and solids (such as lime) mixed together or dispersed into water evenly and consistency. Once you’ve gotten them mixed you need them to stay mixed. We have the experience with designing and installing top mixers to get the job done complete and much more cost effectively than submersible or air mixers. You pay a lot for the water treatment chemicals and additives you use and you need them to stay in suspension. EvenMix® can easily be installed on an IBC or plastic tote as well as an open tank up to 5,000 gallons to mix the entire contents quickly and consistently.
**Types of Mixers**
Most water treatment mixers look like boat props and produce a lot of vertical flow. These mixers are usually ran at high speeds and produce a deep vortex. They sheer the product and introduce air into the liquid. Others are impellers and produce only axial flow (outward horizontal flow). These mixers don’t create much circulation and don’t mix much vertically. Finally, there are pitched blades that have a constant pitch across the blade. They produce a significant vertical flow and a deep vortex. They don’t accomplish much horizontal mixing and introduce a lot of air into the liquid.
EvenMix® and our patented mixing blades are uniquely designed not chop and blend the inputs we give them movement. Our blade design creates a 3D circulation around the entire tank or vessel. Our water treatment mixing blades create circulation down and then out creating a cycling motion from bottom to top and inside to out. We used a [NASA Engineer](https://evenmix.com/our-team/) to design the optimum flow pattern for liquids to give you the best results. Notice that EvenMix® blades have a variable pitch. They begin at 90 degrees and bend gradually to 30 degrees at the end of the mixing blade. This variable pitch is the patented feature and creates circulation without high speed, a vortex, or sheer which are all undesirable outcomes when mixing.
The Stainless Steel 316 food grade components make cleanup a breeze and are easy to keep from interfering with heating coils and other elements of the tanks. The EvenMix® mixers are easy to integrate with [Tri-Clamp Fittings](https://sanitaryfittings.us/product-category/fittings/clamp-fittings). EvenMix® turns at 140 RPM which keeps the circulation gentle but effective. We pump down to mix and blend the contents and clear the bottom of the vessel.
We have integrated our mixers into all types of containers up to 1,500 gallons. We can interface with NPT openings, flanges, Tri-Clamp Fittings, and many others. Just call us to discuss your application at 440-236-6677. Check out our online store to see the EvenMix® mixing system with both air and electric driven mixers. Each mixing system has our [patented mixing blades](https://evenmix.com/even-mix-mixers-use-newly-patented-technology/).

### [Bottom Pin](https://evenmix.com/bottom-pin/)
**Published:** July 19, 2017

**Content:**
## Bottom Pin by EvenMix® makes installation easy
Bottom pin: With its tapered head, this pin is an important part of the patent pending mixing system. It allows for easy installation of the [EvenMix® Double Blade](https://evenmix.com/double-blade/) and [Single Blade](https://evenmix.com/single-blade/). It is also available with a washer pre-installed.
Why do you need a bottom pin? We designed this part to keep the mixing blades in place. It stands up to the tough conditions in mixing totes and pails. The washer provides additional support when installing the blades.
Both our double blade and single blade products mix a number of materials, from viscous liquids to those that are easy to mix. The end results are amazing. However, none of that is possible without the pins.

Pail Mixer
##### Key features:
- Introduces less air while mixing = No de-foaming agents
- Mixes more evenly throughout the container = Quicker mixing, and you don’t have to move it around a lot in the container
- Costs less than others = Save money
## Pail Mixers
We designed our 5 and 10 gallon pail mixers to withstand 800 inch pounds of force. They are powder coated for corrosion resistance and quick cleaning. We designed our Regular Duty is for liquids, slurries, and light aggregates. Also, our Super Duty handles all of those **plus** heavy aggregates. Did we mention that both models mix materials quickly and evenly?
These mixers introduce less air during the mixing process. In addition, they mix every inch of the product in the pails – no unmixed materials linger at the bottom. Also, they cost less. This combination of low price and fewer leftover materials is something that all companies want.
It’s time for you to see what our mixers can do. Don’t believe us? Have a look at the video to see a comparison for yourself! We put [EvenMix®](https://evenmix.com/pail-mixer-how-you-can-mix-better/) against other pail mixers that are currently on the market, and, as expected, it came out on top! Check out the video below.

# IBC Tote Mixers In Plant
**IBC Tote Mixers In Plant:**
The EvenMix® Folding Blade for IBC Tote Mixers In Plant are designed to be coupled with the ARS2L-H070. This pairing with the [EvenMix® Air Motor](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-air-geared-motor/), makes it easy to mix your liquids quickly, completely, and without introducing air.
Use several PT132000SS’s for each of your liquids and a single ARS2L-H070 to move from tote to tote. This makes mixing multiple liquids much easier. The process is made much easier thanks to the light weight of the entire unit. The mixing blades detach easily from the air motor. Combined, they create an OSHA friendly piece of equipment. There isn’t any extreme bending, twisting, or lifting required.
The EvenMix® folding blade can mix a number of different materials, including fertilizers and paints. It can handle viscous liquids, semi-solids, and many other things. No matter what your in-plant needs are, the ARS2L-H070 and the folding blade can take on the task.
The last thing that you went when mixing in plant materials is to introduce air to the mixture. At the least, it can damage the product. However, it can also cause a potentially explosive situation, especially when you’re mixing fertilizer. For this reason above all others, you need the EvenMix® Folding Blade.

**Content:**
### We designed the Clean Top Accessory to protect your solution from contamination
##### Key features:
- Made from nylon – providing a superior bearing surface that is resistant to reaction with paint or chemicals.
- No contamination – offering protection from contamination during both the mixing and shipping processes.
- Ease of use – including a cup designed to catch debris generated from contact between the shaft and motor socket.
This accessory is just what your mixing processes need. We designed it to fit a very specific purpose. The nylon structure is durable and resistant to contamination. Also, the nylon fibers are strong. The clean top can stand up to many different mixing environments. Not all mixing takes place in perfect environmental conditions. This product withstands heat, humidity, cold, and many other situations. It won’t break down due to these conditions.
We understand that the mixing process can be messy. In addition to offering protection, the cup catches debris created by the mixing process. If you are worried about this debris ending up on your factory floor or in places where it could contaminate other mixtures, then this is what you need.
Contamination can occur during the shipping process, as well. We designed this EvenMix® accessory for those instances.

**Published:** June 14, 2019
**Author:** Phil Rankin
**Content:**
“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](http://www.advancedarmor.com/)
“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 & air operated makes it safe to work around liquid product. I will be recommending this product to other people.” [Scott Freeman, Prime Inc.](https://www.primeinc.com)
“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 IBC’s. 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](https://www.whygoodnature.com)
“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](https://www.hbfuller.com)
“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.](https://www.seatsinc.com)
“EvenMix® is a great solution for our [Rocsil (R) Foam](https://www.wilsonmining.com.au/rocsil-foam/). We needed to mix a phenolic resin with a catalyst to create our product, Rocsil (R) 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](https://www.wilsonmining.com.au)

**Author:** Merve
**Excerpt:** #A-6-32-0-16-04-2-1 - EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer - 1.25 HP Air Geared Drive - 1 Set of Blades
The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer features our Air Drive and Patented Mixing Blades. Designed for use with chemicals, adhesives, polymers and beyond. Our patented EvenMix® variable pitch blades mix your contents in a 3D motion - we don't stir like others. We've tested substances up to 50,000 cps and found that our mixers can handle even some of the thickest viscosities. The air features a reliable air motor with a ball valve that allows speed control. Your operators will love the low weight and modularity of the design. Check out the product specs below for additional product details.

The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer is low weight, effective, and reliable.
As they’re re-useable, an intermediate bulk container (IBC, for those in-the-know) can see many liquids that need proper mixing in only a brief period of time. While other businesses within the mixing and mixing blade products industry may claim that their blades can mix paints, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more the most efficiently, the newest item in our family of products will blow other tote mixers out of the water and IBC.
Quality and handling are first and foremost the top priorities our management team has when developing new mixing blades and other mixing products. So, of course we put forth those thoughts and efforts when creating our IBC tote mixer. Along with a superior mixing capability, our tote mixer for IBCs and large plastic totes has patented technology similar companies cannot offer in their products.
With the EvenMix® mixed flow blade utilized as a part of the tote mixer’s design, you’ll see liquids undergo vertical mixing like they never have before. Because of the patented technology we use for the IBC tote mixer, the contents of the intermediate bulk container will be evenly mixed. Why is that? Our mixed flow blade that has been designed for mixing everything from food to chemicals and it reflects NASA based engineering for optimum performance while mixing. **Yes, it is rocket science!**
While the EvenMix® IBC tote mixer won’t spin fast enough to propel you into outer space, it does have a 160-RPM at 90 PSI. The other heavy-duty powers this mixing blade has include a 6/10 HP air motor and it is completely flexible. For the operator of this IBC tote mixer, the motor can be moved easily from tote to tote ***or*** the operator can use several EvenMix® tote mixers with a single motor. Our management team had everyone’s mixing needs in mind when designing this advanced tool.
What’s more, our IBC tote mixer not only has easy handling for the operator, but it features easy installation for those rookie operators. The whole tote mixer unit **weighs only nine pounds**, and can be installed in an intermediate bulk container within seconds. All that is required of the operator is to simply insert the blade and screw in the attached lid of the IBC. Plus, our IBC tote mixer is easily inserted in a six-inch opening of an intermediate bulk container — so even the smallest of openings can use our newest mixing product. Unlike other companies in the mixing industry, there is no extra hardware required with the EvenMix® tote mixer.
If reliable performance is something that you’re searching for, look no further. We have tested the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer up to 50,000 cps. It’s mixed Corn Gluten that had settled for about a year, that’s right a sludge the consistency of mustard was mixed throughout a large IBC in about 3 minutes. Bring it on, we can mix it!
As this is the industry’s ***only*** mixed flow blade, whatever liquids require vertical mixing, you’ll have a blade that can fold into open and closed positions for optimum levels of mixing. We proudly manufacture all of our mixing pieces — including the mixed flow blade and the air motor — in the United States. Not only will the EvenMix® tote mixer blow competitors’ comparable tools out of the water, you’ll want to “tote” this mixing blade with you everywhere.
Watch a demonstration of the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer at work on our **[YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTGIeN5GOMg)**.
We offer EvenMix® blades for IBC’s, 55 gallon drums, and 10 and 5 gallon pails. Whatever your mixing need – we’ve got you covered (mixed, blended, whatever you prefer!)

## Battery-Powered Digital IBC Tote Mixer – 1 Set of Blades
The EvenMix® 1 HP Battery-Powered Digital Geared IBC Tote Mixer is the most lightweight, modular, efficient, and effective mixer for IBCs available on the market today.
Weighing in at between 15-18 pounds in total (based on setup) and now powered via standard power tool batteries (DeWalt® / Milwaukee®) the EvenMix® Digital Geared IBC Tote Mixer packages are the most mobile mixing options available.
EvenMix® Digital Drives have 20 preset speeds (ranging from ~27 RPMs to 100 RPMs), 4 various mixing modes, and operate using minimal electricity. With our Battery-Powered “Standard Duty” Digital Geared Drive, you’ll see about 1 hour of mixing time at max speed in a material of moderate viscosity for every 2Ah of battery (Ex. a 6Ah battery in a material like molasses will get about 3 hours of battery life on a full charge).
These state-of-the-art drives combined with our [patented variable pitch folding blade design](https://evenmix.com/how-do-mixing-blades-work/) ensure a thorough mix throughout the entire container, clearing out corners in standard IBC Totes and breaking up settled material on the bottom of the IBC.
The patented blade design folds in half to fit inside of the standard 6” opening on most IBC totes and once the mixer begins to rotate counter-clockwise, the blades deploy to a 16” diameter. When done rotating, the blades will fold back down to allow for easy removal from the vessel. The patented blades allow for a “no shear” mix with almost no air entrapment as a vortex is rarely generated in the mixing process. The unique curvatures in the blade get rotation on both a horizontal and vertical axis – allowing for a more complete mix in a fraction of the time needed with traditional mixers.
All EvenMix® packages are completely modular in their operation. Operators can reuse the Drive for various different containers (55-gallon barrels, large poly tanks, etc.) or use one Drive to mix multiple containers of the same type with the [EvenMix® Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer](https://evenmix.com/evenmix-anti-contamination-fitting/).
We’ve tested EvenMix® Mixing Packages in materials over 20,000+ centipoise and these intermittent mixing packages make short work out of most materials.
We offer various mixer packages for various other types of containers as well – from 55-gallon drums, to larger 2,000 gallon polymer tanks, we’ve got you covered!

The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer is lightweight, effective, and reliable. It’s the same design as our regular IBC mixer; however this mixing blade isn’t attached to the EvenMix® Air or Electric Drive. Rather it can be attached and removed. The mixing blade is attached to the lid and is an independent unit from the Drive. We built the flexibility in with you in mind.
As they’re re-useable, an intermediate bulk container (IBC, for those in-the-know) can see many liquids that need proper mixing in only a brief period of time. While other businesses within the mixing and mixing blade products industry may claim that their blades can mix paints, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more the most efficiently, the newest item in our family of products will blow other tote mixers out of the water an IBC.
Quality and handling are first and foremost the top priorities our management team has when developing new mixing blades and other mixing products. So, of course we put forth those thoughts and efforts when creating our IBC tote mixer. Along with a superior mixing capability, our tote mixer for IBCs and large plastic totes has patented technology similar companies cannot offer in their products.
With the EvenMix® mixed flow blade utilized as a part of the tote mixer’s design, you’ll see liquids undergo vertical mixing like they never have before. Because of the patented technology we use for the IBC tote mixer, the contents of the intermediate bulk container will be evenly mixed. Why is that? Our mixed flow blade that has been designed for mixing everything from food to chemicals and it reflects NASA based engineering for optimum performance while mixing. **Yes, it is rocket science!**
While the EvenMix® IBC tote mixer won’t spin fast enough to propel you into outer space, it does have a 150-RPMs at 90 PSI. For the operator of this IBC tote mixer, the motor can be moved easily from tote to tote ***or*** the operator can use several EvenMix® tote mixers with a single motor. Our management team had everyone’s mixing needs in mind when designing this advanced tool.
What’s more, our IBC tote mixer not only has easy handling for the operator, but it features easy installation for those rookie operators. The whole tote mixer unit **weighs only nine pounds**, and can be installed in an intermediate bulk container within seconds. All that is required of the operator is to simply insert the blade and screw in the attached lid of the IBC. Plus, our IBC tote mixer is easily inserted in a six-inch opening of an intermediate bulk container — so even the smallest of openings can use our newest mixing product. Unlike other companies in the mixing industry, there is no extra hardware required with the EvenMix® tote mixer.
If reliable performance is something that you’re searching for, look no further. We have tested some EvenMix® Packages up to 50,000 cps. It’s mixed Corn Gluten that had settled for about a year, that’s right a sludge the consistency of mustard was mixed throughout a large IBC in about 3 minutes. Bring it on, we can mix it!
As this is the industry’s ***only*** mixed flow blade, whatever liquids require vertical mixing, you’ll have a blade that can fold into open and closed positions for optimum levels of mixing. We proudly manufacture all of our mixing pieces — including the mixed flow blade and the air motor — in the United States. Not only will the EvenMix® tote mixer blow competitors’ comparable tools out of the water, you’ll want to “tote” this mixing blade with you everywhere.

The EvenMix® Drum Mixer features our Digital Drive and Patented Mixing Blades. Designed for use with chemicals, adhesives, polymers and beyond. Our patented EvenMix® variable pitch blades mix your contents in a 3D motion - we don't stir like others.

## **EvenMix® Drum Mixer – 1 HP Electric Geared Drive**
The EvenMix® Drum Mixer is a revolution to the drum market. Never before have you been able to insert into a closed head a mixing blade as large and capable of mixing your liquids. The EvenMix® is the answer to your mixing challenges.
### **Power and Stability**
We have a powerful geared drive motor available in air or electric enhanced with our gearbox that is built from engineered metals built to last with 2 big beefy bearings capable of taking heavy loads. Our bracket is easy to install and engineered to securely hold the drive and mixer steady. It won’t wobble.
### **Patented Mixing Blade**
With all of that going for it, the real genius is in the mixing blade. It’s a folding twisted blade that expands to 15” in diameter when fully expanded. The EvenMix® patented blade folds to fit into a 2” bung side or center opening. That’s right, a variable pitch blade (not a mixing paddle which doesn’t create much mixing or a straight pitch blade which creates cyclones that suck air into your liquid) but a patented EvenMix® blade that goes from 90 degrees to 30 degrees and in several of our videos is proven to produce a superior mix – in a closed head drum.
### **3D Mixing Performance**
Look at how the EvenMix® moves liquid around the drum as it circulates material and liquid. This drum is filled with 1,000 centipoise liquid glycerin (about the consistency of paint) with some blue stars and sand, yes sand. You can even see how it picks up sand from the bottom of the drum and moves it around the container. We have really had a breakthrough with this mixer by engineering a way to get the blade into the drum. All wetted parts are made from Non-reactive food-grade stainless steel 316.
### **You can put it where?**
How can you use it? In a closed head drum with a 2 inch bung to the side of a top lid (with the mounting bracket). In a closed head with a 2-inch center bung on the top lid. In an open head with a 1 1/2 inch or 2-inch center bung in the top lid. All Yes! Just pick your drive – air or electric. Could you use this same mixer on an IBC – yes. EvenMix® is modular so you can use it in the way that suits your needs.
### **Installation & Operation**
The EvenMix® blades insert easily through a 2-inch bung opening. They fold down to a compact shape that effortlessly fits into a closed head opening. Once they begin to turn the hydrodynamic forces open the blades and they go to work on your liquid. When you’re done mixing and stop the air or electric drive the blades will relax and fold back down ready to be moved to the next drum. It’s a simple design that is going to revolutionize how you mix drums. No more rolling the drum on the floor or a stand. No more inserting a bunch of small mixing blades in through the top lid. Get an EvenMix® and get the job done right, quick, and easy.

There are many ways to mix in drums. However, not all the mixing ways are sufficient enough for the job. Things such as rolling the drums, air mixing, and bung insert mixers are some of these options. When you are looking to mix the liquid inside a drum, you need to understand to what degree do you need the contents mixed. Some materials and applications don’t need super accurate mixing. However, most do. That is why we offer the most effective mixer on the market today. When it comes to a quality mixer, you need something dependable and user-friendly. [The EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer) offers just these features and more.
## Rolling drum mixer
A [Rolling drum mixer](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/251700967_Enhancing_mixing_of_particles_by_baffles_in_a_rotating_drum_mixer) is a somewhat effective but easy way to mixing in drums. Essentially it is just rolling the drum around. This can be done by placing the drum on the floor and rolling it to the desired location. As the drum rolls, it will mix the contents inside. This is not a super-effective way to blend what is inside the drum, but for some materials, it may be all that you need.
## Air Mixing
Air mixing in drums is well just that, mixing with air. Air mixing is excellent, but it doesn’t get down in the corners of the barrel. The edges tend to get left out. And, well, you are injecting air into your materials, which can cause unwanted bubbles in the materials as well. This is a form of mixing that works for some materials, but it is not the best choice.
Bung inserted mixing in Drums
## Bung inserted mixers
Bung mixing in drums is a method to mix materials inside a drum, as well. However, they are not very effective, run at high speeds, and cause temperature issues. These mixers run at high speeds and quite often run a high shear rate due to high speed. Typically they have a tiny and ineffective blade on them that turns the material.
## The EvenMix®
The EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer is a mixer that is designed to do the max amount of mixing in drums as possible. It has a patented 15″ center blade that unfolds once inside the drum. It mixes evenly without adding a lot of air or whipping action. The design of this mixer is for one purpose, and that is to mix effectively. Our mixer gets all the material mixed even and effectively, even the corners and edges. If it is essential to have a nice even mix than you should be looking at the EvenMix® Drum Mixer to do the job.
When working with liquid materials, there is a lot of materials with various viscosities. It is crucial to have a mixer that can handle these various materials adequately. The EvenMix® Drum Mixer is designed for just this purpose, and its low weight makes for easy portability. We wanted a mixer that was effective, easy to use, and easy to move. Our patented design can be moved by just one person. There is no need for heavy equipment to move the mixer from barrel to barrel. And they are easy to use as well.
Our gearbox has been redesigned to give you maximum power and the very best quality that lasts for mixing in drums. Take a look at the EvenMix® [Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer) today.

The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer is low weight, effective, and reliable.
As they’re re-useable, an intermediate bulk container (IBC, for those in-the-know) can see many liquids that need proper mixing in only a brief period of time. While other businesses within the mixing and mixing blade products industry may claim that their blades can mix paints, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more the most efficiently, the newest item in our family of products will blow other tote mixers out of the water and IBC.
Quality and handling are first and foremost the top priorities our management team has when developing new mixing blades and other mixing products. So, of course we put forth those thoughts and efforts when creating our IBC tote mixer. Along with a superior mixing capability, our tote mixer for IBCs and large plastic totes has patented technology similar companies cannot offer in their products.
With the EvenMix® mixed flow blade utilized as a part of the tote mixer’s design, you’ll see liquids undergo vertical mixing like they never have before. Because of the patented technology we use for the IBC tote mixer, the contents of the intermediate bulk container will be evenly mixed. Why is that? Our mixed flow blade that has been designed for mixing everything from food to chemicals and it reflects NASA based engineering for optimum performance while mixing. **Yes, it is rocket science!**
While the EvenMix® IBC tote mixer won’t spin fast enough to propel you into outer space, it does have a 160-RPM at 90 PSI. The other heavy-duty powers this mixing blade has include a 6/10 HP air motor and it is completely flexible. For the operator of this IBC tote mixer, the motor can be moved easily from tote to tote ***or*** the operator can use several EvenMix® tote mixers with a single motor. Our management team had everyone’s mixing needs in mind when designing this advanced tool.
What’s more, our IBC tote mixer not only has easy handling for the operator, but it features easy installation for those rookie operators. The whole tote mixer unit **weighs only nine pounds**, and can be installed in an intermediate bulk container within seconds. All that is required of the operator is to simply insert the blade and screw in the attached lid of the IBC. Plus, our IBC tote mixer is easily inserted in a six-inch opening of an intermediate bulk container — so even the smallest of openings can use our newest mixing product. Unlike other companies in the mixing industry, there is no extra hardware required with the EvenMix® tote mixer.
If reliable performance is something that you’re searching for, look no further. We have tested the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer up to 50,000 cps. It’s mixed Corn Gluten that had settled for about a year, that’s right a sludge the consistency of mustard was mixed throughout a large IBC in about 3 minutes. Bring it on, we can mix it!
As this is the industry’s ***only*** mixed flow blade, whatever liquids require vertical mixing, you’ll have a blade that can fold into open and closed positions for optimum levels of mixing. We proudly manufacture all of our mixing pieces — including the mixed flow blade and the air motor — in the United States. Not only will the EvenMix® tote mixer blow competitors’ comparable tools out of the water, you’ll want to “tote” this mixing blade with you everywhere.

There are many ways to mix in drums. However, not all the mixing ways are sufficient enough for the job. Things such as rolling the drums, air mixing, and bung insert mixers are some of these options. When you are looking to mix the liquid inside a drum, you need to understand to what degree do you need the contents mixed. Some materials and applications don’t need super accurate mixing. However, most do. That is why we offer the most effective mixer on the market today. When it comes to a quality mixer, you need something dependable and user-friendly. [The EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer) offers just these features and more.
## Rolling drum mixer
A [Rolling drum mixer](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/251700967_Enhancing_mixing_of_particles_by_baffles_in_a_rotating_drum_mixer) is a somewhat effective but easy way to mixing in drums. Essentially it is just rolling the drum around. This can be done by placing the drum on the floor and rolling it to the desired location. As the drum rolls, it will mix the contents inside. This is not a super-effective way to blend what is inside the drum, but for some materials, it may be all that you need.
## Air Mixing
Air mixing in drums is well just that, mixing with air. Air mixing is excellent, but it doesn’t get down in the corners of the barrel. The edges tend to get left out. And, well, you are injecting air into your materials, which can cause unwanted bubbles in the materials as well. This is a form of mixing that works for some materials, but it is not the best choice.
Bung inserted mixing in Drums
## Bung inserted mixers
Bung mixing in drums is a method to mix materials inside a drum, as well. However, they are not very effective, run at high speeds, and cause temperature issues. These mixers run at high speeds and quite often run a high shear rate due to high speed. Typically they have a tiny and ineffective blade on them that turns the material.
## The EvenMix®
The EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer is a mixer that is designed to do the max amount of mixing in drums as possible. It has a patented 16″ center blade that unfolds once inside the drum. It mixes evenly without adding a lot of air or whipping action. The design of this mixer is for one purpose, and that is to mix effectively. Our mixer gets all the material mixed even and effectively, even the corners and edges. If it is essential to have a nice even mix than you should be looking at the EvenMix® Drum Mixer to do the job.
When working with liquid materials, there is a lot of materials with various viscosities. It is crucial to have a mixer that can handle these various materials adequately. The EvenMix® Drum Mixer is designed for just this purpose, and its low weight makes for easy portability. We wanted a mixer that was effective, easy to use, and easy to move. Our patented design can be moved by just one person. There is no need for heavy equipment to move the mixer from barrel to barrel. And they are easy to use as well.
Our gearbox has been redesigned to give you maximum power and the very best quality that lasts for mixing in drums. Take a look at the EvenMix® [Drum Mixer](https://evenmix.com/product/drum-mixer) today.

### [IBC Tote Mixer by EvenMix® (No Drive) - 2 Sets of Blades](https://evenmix.com/product/evenmix-ibc-tote-mixer-no-drive-2-sets-of-blades/)
**Published:** July 18, 2024
**Author:** Chris Lintner
**Excerpt:** #M-6-32-0-16-04-2-2 – EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer (NO DRIVE) – 2 Sets of Blades - This EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer package features a standard 32” hex-shaped shaft, our IBC Cap/Lid Mount, our “Anti-Contamination” Fitting/Reducer and 2 sets of our patented variable pitch folding mixing blades. The M-6-32-0-16-04-2-2 IBC Tote Mixer Package comes ready to be paired with an EvenMix® Drive. This “No Drive” mixer package features our Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer which gives users the ability to mix multiple containers with one Drive. Operators can have multiple mixers (shaft/blades/mount) and a single Drive to share between them. When the operator is ready to move mix a different container, simply unscrew the Drive from the Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer in the IBC Cap and the shaft and blades will stay inside the original container while the Drive is removed. This “No Drive” package can handle some of the thickest materials when paired with an EvenMix® Drive inside a standard-sized IBC tote (230-330 gallon). Designed for intermittent use with chemicals, adhesives, paints, polymers and beyond. Our patented EvenMix® variable pitch folding blades mix your contents in a 3D motion with both horizontal and vertical rotation – we don’t stir like others. These unique blade sets clear out corners and break up settled material on the bottom of IBC totes unlike any other mixer on the market. We’ve tested substances over 20,000 cps and found that our mixers can handle some of the thickest viscosities. When combined with an EvenMix® Drive, this mixer package is considered a “low/no shear” mixer and will not cause air entrapment. Operators will love the low weight and modularity of the design. Check out the product specs below for additional product details. We recommend 2 sets of blades for thicker materials or to speed up the mixing process.

- DRIVE NOT INCLUDED
**Content:**
The EvenMix® “No Drive” IBC Tote Mixer – 2 Sets of Blades comes ready to be attached to an EvenMix® Drive.
This package comes with our quick-detach, “Anti-Contamination” Fitting/Reducer, which allows for the mixing of multiple containers with a single Drive without ever having to remove the shaft/drive from the container. With multiple M-6-32-0-16-04-2-2 packages, operators can simply unscrew the Drive from one “No Drive” package and attach it to another package that contains the anti-contamination fitting/reducer – leaving the original shaft and blades inside of the original container.
Our patented variable pitch folding blade design ensure a thorough mix throughout the entire container, clearing out corners in standard IBC Totes and breaking up settled material on the bottom of the IBC.
The patented blade design folds in half to fit inside of the standard 6” opening on most IBC totes and once the mixer begins to rotate counter-clockwise, the blades deploy to a 16” diameter. When done rotating, the blades will fold back down to allow for easy removal from the vessel. The patented blades, when combined with an EvenMix® Drive, allow for a “no shear” mix with almost zero air entrapment as a vortex is rarely generated in the mixing process. The unique curvatures in the blade get rotation on both a horizontal and vertical axis – allowing for a more complete mix in a fraction of the time needed with traditional mixers.
All EvenMix® packages are completely modular in their operation. Operators can reuse the Drive for various different containers (55-gallon barrels, large poly tanks, etc.) or use one Drive to mix multiple containers of the same type with the [EvenMix® Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer](https://evenmix.com/evenmix-anti-contamination-fitting/).
We’ve tested EvenMix® Mixing Packages in materials over 20,000+ centipoise and these intermittent mixers make short work out of most materials. If longer mixing cycles are part of the mixing process, we also offer our [“Heavy Duty” Digital (120v) Geared Drive](https://evenmix.com/product/evenmix-heavy-duty-electric-drive-d-200-v-h-438/) as an additional option that works with most EvenMix accessories, shafts, and blade designs.
We offer numerous mixer packages for various other types of containers as well – from 55-gallon drums, to larger 2,000 gallon polymer tanks, we’ve got you covered!

### [EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixer - 1 HP Battery-Powered Digital Geared Drive](https://evenmix.com/product/evenmix-drum-bung-mixer-1-hp-battery-powered-digital-geared-drive/)
**Published:** May 23, 2025
**Author:** Chris Lintner
**Excerpt:** #B-B-29-0-15-02-3-1 - EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixer - 1 HP Battery-Powered Geared Digital Drive - 1 Set of Blades
This EvenMix® Battery-Powered Drum Bung Mixer package features our innovative “Standard Duty” Battery-Powered Digital Geared Drive (1 HP) and one set of our patented variable pitch drum bung folding mixing blades. With lightweight, efficient mixing in mind, this mixer package weighs in at under 18 pounds in total and comes with everything needed to start mixing in closed-head 55-gallon barrels/drums right out of the box. Gone are the days of needing multiple people to move the mixer or begin the mixing process. This battery-powered (DeWalt® or Milwaukee® battery) 1 HP package can handle a wide range of viscosities (up to 4,000 cps, but we recommend this mixer package in materials ranging from 0-2,000 cps in viscosity) in a standard-sized 55-gallon barrels. Designed for intermittent use with chemicals, adhesives, paints, polymers and beyond. Our patented EvenMix® variable pitch folding blades mix your contents in a 3D motion with both horizontal and vertical rotation – we don’t stir like others. These unique blade sets ensure a thorough mix throughout the entire barrel and break up settled material on the bottom of the drum/barrel unlike any other mixer on the market. The “Standard Duty” Battery-Powered Digital Geared Drive features a digital panel with 20 preset speeds (~30 – 100 RPMs) that is easy to use and is pre-programmed with 4 different operating/mixing modes. This mixer package is considered a “low/no shear” mixer and will not cause air entrapment. Operators will love the low weight and modularity of the design.

**EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixer – 1 HP Battery-Powered Digital Geared Drive**
The EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixer has some of the largest mixing blades for closed head drums on the market. These patented variable pitch folding blades fold to approx. 2” to fit through the side bung entry point on most drum lids (polymer and steel). When the mixer begins to rotate, these innovative blades on an angled shaft unfold to 15” in diameter, ensuring a thorough mix throughout the entire container.
Powered via a high quality air system, electrical outlet, or power-tool battery – our EvenMix® Drives are the most lightweight on the market. With the Drive weighing in between 7-13 pounds, these 1-1.25 HP units work in conjunction with our patented variable pitch folding blade sets to achieve a no shear mix with practically zero air entrapment. All Drive types are incredibly efficient with our Air Drive operating at 90 PSI and consuming 13 CFM. The Digital Drives powered via traditional outlets pull 4 amps max, and the battery-powered Drives can operate for hours on end with a single DeWalt® or Milwaukee® battery. Digital Drives also feature 20 preset speeds, ranging from ~27-100 RPMs and 4 various mixing modes to allow for mixing process customization and remote capabilities. All EvenMix® Drives produce substantial amounts of torque (over 20 newton meters) via 85:1 or 151:1 gearboxes. When combined with our patented blade design, this Drum Bung Mixer can mix most materials between 0 – 2,000 centipoise with a maximum operating viscosity of 4,000 centipoise in a closed-head drum.
This mixer package mounts to the top of a 55-gallon drum via the EvenMix® Closed-Head Drum Bung Clamp Mount. This clamp mount can be adjusted for tension and tightness to the drum to account for drums of slightly different designs. The shaft and blades enter the drum at an angle through the 1 3/4 to 2” hole that is off center on most drum lids. When the mixer rotates counter-clockwise, the blades deploy to their full 15”x2” size and spin about 2/3rd down inside the drum/barrel.
**Patented Mixing Blade**
The EvenMix® Patented Variable Pitch Blade design is carried over from our full sized 16×4” blades to our smaller (15”x2”) drum bung blades. These twisted blades go from 90-degrees to 30-degrees in angle. Due to this steep change in angle and various other bends on the blades, the mixing blade will not generate a vortex and will not sheer the material inside the drum. This blade design also generates rotational movement on both a vertical and horizontal axis, ensuring a thorough mix in the entire drum/barrel – testing the same at the top and bottom of the container for most materials between 0 – 2,000 centipoise. Thicker materials (up to 4,000 centipoise) can also be used with our Closed-Head Drum Bung Mixer Package, but may have a longer mixing time. All of the “wet” parts on this mixer package are 300 series stainless steel, with (2) nylon spacers for the folding mechanism. Food grade welded folding blades are also available for an additional cost.
**Weight and Modularity**
These EvenMix® Drum Bung Mixer Packages weigh between 13 and 18 pounds in total weight (13 pounds for the Air Driven package, and 18 pounds for the Digital packages – 120v and battery-powered). This lightweight design allows for one person installation in minutes and makes them the most mobile drum bung mixers on the market. Modularity within the EvenMix® system gives operators the ability to reuse the same Drive for mixing in various other containers (with the proper EvenMix® Mount and Blade setup) OR the ability to use one Drive for multiple Drum Bung Mixers via our M-B-29-0-15-02-3-1 Package(s) and our “Anti-Contamination” Fitting/Reducer – saving significant costs in the long term and allowing the EvenMix® system to grow with your operation (Ex. as your product volume increases, you can reuse parts of the same mixer package for larger containers or different materials).
**3D Mixing Performance**
Look at how the EvenMix® moves liquid around the drum as it circulates material and liquid. This drum is filled with liquid glycerin (about the consistency of paint) with some blue stars and sand. You can even see how it picks up sand from the bottom of the drum and moves it around the container.
**Installation & Operation**
The EvenMix® systems lightweight design combine with 2” blades allows for single user installation. Slightly pinch the blades to fit them through the larger of 2 openings on the drum lid (1 2/3rd” or 2”) and attach to the Drive then screw the Drive onto the Closed-Head Drum Bung Mount and your mixing in minutes. Once they begin to rotate counter-clockwise, the hydrodynamic forces open the blades to their full size (15”x2”). When done spinning, the blades will relax and fold back down to be removed from the drum/barrel. Gone are the days of heavy, bulky mixing equipment. No more rolling the drum on the floor or a stand. No more inserting a bunch of small mixing blades in through the top lid and needing an entire team to start the mixing process.

### [EvenMix® Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer](https://evenmix.com/product/evenmix-anti-contamination-fitting-reducer/)
**Published:** July 7, 2025
**Author:** Chris Lintner
**Excerpt:** #5000-10024 - EvenMix® Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer
The EvenMix® “Anti-Contamination” Fitting/Reducer replaces our standard reducer used with our Air Drive or “Standard Duty” Digital Drives (Battery, 120v, or 220v). This reducer changes the mounting location of the shaft. Instead of directly connecting the shaft to the Drive’s output, the shaft is held in place via the reducer with this fitting. This allows you to quickly detach the Drive from the mount while leaving the shaft/blades inside of the original container. Users are able to quickly and easily utilize one EvenMix® Drive to mix multiple containers – where each container has it’s own shaft/blades. NOTE: Our “No Drive” Mixer Packages (Ex. M-6-32-0-16-04-2-1) come with our Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer. Packages that contain a Drive (Ex. D-6-32-0-16-04-2-2) come with our Standard 2” Reducer – where the shaft will mount directly to the Drive sold in the Package.
**Content:**
EvenMix®’s (5000-10024) Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer gives operators the ability to mix multiple containers (of the same type or different types) with one EvenMix® Drive. Gone are the days of having to have a separate mixer for each container type. With EvenMix®’s Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer, you will the standard 2” NPT reducer sold with your mixer package. This Anti-Contamination Fitting will change the mounting location of the shaft. This allows operators to leave the shaft/blades (“wet parts”) inside the container. This fitting/reducer acts as a “quick-detach” system for the EvenMix® Drive.
To better illustrate how this reducer works, think of a paint company that has 3 separate totes (or barrels) that contain different colors (one red, one white, and one yellow). Without substantial cleaning between uses, you wouldn’t want to use the red shaft/blades inside of the white container as to not contaminate the white paint with red residue. This fitting allows the operator to have 3 separate shaft/blade combinations and one Drive to mix all 3 containers. When the Drive is removed from one container, the shaft/blades will stay within the container they are mounted to. Removal of each shaft (when needed) is a breeze and as simple as unscrewing the cap (IBC Totes) or unmounting the mount from the container and pulling out the shaft/blades.
The EvenMix® Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer is INCLUDED with our “No Drive” Packages (ex. [M-6-32-0-16-04-2-1](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-anti-contamination-folding-mixer/), [M-B-29-0-15-02-3-1](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-drum-and-barrel-bung-mixer-mount-32-shaft-and-variable-pitch-blade-set-only/), etc.). The Anti-Contamination Fitting/Reducer will work with any EvenMix® mounting solution for our Standard Duty Drives (Air Driven, 120v Electric, Battery-Operated), BUT WILL NOT work for our Heavy Duty Digital Drive as it requires a different Anti-Contamination device (contact us for more information on this reducer for our HD Drive).

### [EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer - 1 HP Battery-Powered Digital Geared Drive - 1 Set of Fixed Blades](https://evenmix.com/product/evenmix-drum-lid-mixer-1-hp-battery-powered-digital-geared-drive/)
**Published:** July 7, 2025
**Author:** Chris Lintner
**Excerpt:** #B-D-32-0-16-04-1-1 - EvenMix® Battery-Powered Drum Lid Mixer - 1 HP Digital Geared Drive - 1 Set of Fixed Blades
This EvenMix® Battery-Powered Drum Lid Mixer package features our innovative “Standard Duty” Battery-Powered Digital Geared Drive (1 HP) and one set of our patented variable pitch fixed mixing blades (16” x 4” ). With lightweight, efficient mixing in mind, this mixer package weighs in at under 23 pounds in total and comes with everything needed to start mixing in open-head 55-gallon barrels/drums right out of the box. Gone are the days of needing multiple people to move the mixer or begin the mixing process. This battery-powered (DeWalt® or Milwaukee® battery) 1 HP package can handle a wide range of viscosities up to 4,000 cps in a standard-sized 55-gallon barrels. Designed for intermittent use with chemicals, adhesives, paints, polymers and beyond. Our patented EvenMix® variable pitch blades mix your contents in a 3D motion with both horizontal and vertical rotation – we don’t stir like others. These unique blade sets ensure a thorough mix throughout the entire barrel and break up settled material on the bottom of the drum/barrel unlike any other mixer on the market. The “Standard Duty” Battery-Powered Digital Geared Drive features a digital panel with 20 preset speeds (~30 – 100 RPMs) that is easy to use and is pre-programmed with 4 different operating/mixing modes. This mixer package is considered a “low/no shear” mixer and will not cause air entrapment. Operators will love the low weight and modularity of the design.

**EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer – 1 HP Battery-Powered Geared Drive**
The EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer has some of the largest mixing blades for open head drums on the market. These patented variable pitch fixed blades (16” in diameter) can work with either plastic or steel drums where the lid can be removed. When the mixer begins to rotate, these innovative blades generate both horizontal and vertical rotation throughout the barrel, ensuring a thorough mix throughout the entire container.
Powered via a high quality air system, electrical outlet, or power-tool battery – our EvenMix® Drives are the most lightweight on the market. With the Drive weighing in between 7-13 pounds, these 1-1.25 HP units work in conjunction with our patented variable pitch folding blade sets to achieve a no shear mix with practically zero air entrapment. All Drive types are incredibly efficient with our Air Drive operating at 90 PSI and consuming 13 CFM. The Digital Drives powered via traditional outlets pull 4 amps max, and the battery-powered Drives can operate for hours on end with a single DeWalt® or Milwaukee® battery. Digital “Battery-Powered” Drives also feature 20 preset speeds, ranging from ~27-100 RPMs and 4 various mixing modes to allow for mixing process customization and remote capabilities. All EvenMix® Drives produce substantial amounts of torque (over 20 newton meters) via 85:1 or 151:1 gearboxes. When combined with our patented blade design, this Drum Lid Mixer can mix most materials between 0 – 4,000 centipoise in an open-head drum.
This mixer package mounts to the top of a 55-gallon drum via an agitator drum lid that is provided upon purchase. When assembled, the entire unit (Lid/Drive/Shaft) is all one piece and can easily be moved to other open-head drums by even the smallest of operators.
**Patented Mixing Blade**
The EvenMix® Patented Variable Pitch Blade design is the exact same as what we feature in our IBC Tote Mixer, except the blades do not fold (they are welded directly to the shaft in the open position). These twisted blades go from 90-degrees to 30-degrees in angle. Due to this steep change in angle and various other bends on the blades, the mixing blade will not generate a vortex and will not sheer the material inside the drum. This blade design also generates rotational movement on both a vertical and horizontal axis, ensuring a thorough mix in the entire drum/barrel – testing the same at the top and bottom of the container for most materials between 0 – 4,000 centipoise. Thicker materials (over 4,000 centipoise) can also be used with our Closed-Head Drum Bung Mixer Package with (2) Sets of Blades (20,000+ cps maximum). All of the “wet” parts on this mixer package are 316 stainless steel. Food grade welds on the blades are also available for an additional cost.
**Weight and Modularity**
These EvenMix® Drum Lid Mixer Packages weigh between 18 and 23 pounds in total weight including the provided agitator drum lid (18 pounds for the Air Driven package, and 23 pounds for the Digital packages – 120v and battery-powered). This lightweight design allows for one person installation in minutes and makes these packages some of most mobile drum mixers on the market. Modularity within the EvenMix® system gives operators the ability to reuse the same Drive for mixing in various other containers (with the proper EvenMix® Mount and Blade setup) OR the ability to use one Drive for multiple mixers via our “Anti-Contamination” Fitting/Reducer – saving significant costs in the long term and allowing the EvenMix® system to grow with your operation (Ex. as your product volume increases, you can reuse parts of the same mixer package for larger containers or different materials).

**Installation & Operation**
The EvenMix® systems lightweight design allows for single user installation. Simply assemble the unit and place on top of the drum/barrel. Secure the provided lid to the barrel via a drum ring (not included), and start mixing in seconds. Gone are the days of heavy, bulky mixing equipment. No more rolling the drum on the floor or a stand. No more inserting a bunch of small mixing blades in through the top lid and needing an entire team to start the mixing process.

### [EvenMix® 1.25 HP Air Geared Drive](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-air-geared-motor/)
**Published:** August 2, 2017
**Author:** Merve
**Excerpt:** #A-125-V-H-438 - EvenMix® 1.25 HP Air Geared Drive
The EvenMix® Air Geared Drive is designed for use with chemicals, adhesives, polymers and beyond. Our patented EvenMix® variable pitch blades mix your contents in a 3D motion - we don't stir like others. We've tested substances up to 50,000 cps and found that our mixers can handle even some of the thickest viscosities. The air features a reliable air motor with a ball valve that allows speed control. Your operators will love the low weight and modularity of the design. Check out the product specs below for additional product details.

*This option is for the motor and gearbox ONLY. You can purchase various mounting options and blade options under [Accessories](https://evenmix.com/product-category/accessories/) OR you can purchase an entire package (including the mixer, blades, mount, etc.) under [Tank Mixers](https://evenmix.com/product-category/tank-mixers/), [IBC Tote Mixers](https://evenmix.com/product-category/ibc-tote-mixers/), or [Drum Mixers](https://evenmix.com/product-category/drum-mixer/).*
The EvenMix® Air Geared Drive is low weight, effective, and reliable.
As they’re re-useable, an intermediate bulk container (IBC, for those in-the-know) can see many liquids that need proper mixing in only a brief period of time. While other businesses within the mixing and mixing blade products industry may claim that their blades can mix paints, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more the most efficiently, the newest item in our family of products will blow other tote mixers out of the water and IBC.
Quality and handling are first and foremost the top priorities our management team has when developing new mixing blades and other mixing products. So, of course we put forth those thoughts and efforts when creating our IBC tote mixer. Along with a superior mixing capability, our tote mixer for IBCs and large plastic totes has patented technology similar companies cannot offer in their products.
With the EvenMix® mixed flow blade utilized as a part of the tote mixer’s design, you’ll see liquids undergo vertical mixing like they never have before. Because of the patented technology we use for the IBC tote mixer, the contents of the intermediate bulk container will be evenly mixed. Why is that? Our mixed flow blade that has been designed for mixing everything from food to chemicals and it reflects NASA based engineering for optimum performance while mixing. **Yes, it is rocket science!**
While the EvenMix® Air Geared Drive won’t spin fast enough to propel you into outer space, it does have a 160-RPM at 90 PSI. The other heavy-duty powers this mixing blade has include a 6/10 HP air motor and it is completely flexible. For the operator of this IBC tote mixer, the motor can be moved easily from tote to tote ***or*** the operator can use several EvenMix® tote mixers with a single motor. Our management team had everyone’s mixing needs in mind when designing this advanced tool.
What’s more, our air geared drive not only has easy handling for the operator, but it features easy installation for those rookie operators. The whole tote mixer unit **weighs only nine pounds**, and can be installed in an intermediate bulk container within seconds. All that is required of the operator is to simply insert the blade and screw in the attached lid of the IBC. Plus, our IBC tote mixer is easily inserted in a six-inch opening of an intermediate bulk container — so even the smallest of openings can use our newest mixing product. Unlike other companies in the mixing industry, there is no extra hardware required with the EvenMix® tote mixer.
If reliable performance is something that you’re searching for, look no further. We have tested the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer up to 50,000 cps. It’s mixed Corn Gluten that had settled for about a year, that’s right a sludge the consistency of mustard was mixed throughout a large IBC in about 3 minutes. Bring it on, we can mix it!
As this is the industry’s ***only*** mixed flow blade, whatever liquids require vertical mixing, you’ll have a blade that can fold into open and closed positions for optimum levels of mixing. We proudly manufacture all of our mixing pieces — including the mixed flow blade and the air motor — in the United States. Not only will the EvenMix® tote mixer blow competitors’ comparable tools out of the water, you’ll want to “tote” this mixing blade with you everywhere.
Watch a demonstration of the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer at work on our **[YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTGIeN5GOMg)**.
We offer EvenMix® blades for IBC’s, 55 gallon drums, and 10 and 5 gallon pails. Whatever your mixing need – we’ve got you covered (mixed, blended, whatever you prefer!)

### [EvenMix® Open Top C-Clamp](https://evenmix.com/product/open-top-c-clamp/)
**Published:** June 2, 2022
**Author:** Chris Lintner
**Excerpt:** Safely mount your EvenMix® mixer to any sized barrels or containers that have an open top/lid. The EvenMix® Open Top C-Clamp allows any of our EvenMix® mixers to mount on the side of most open top/head containers. The mount is adjustable for the mixing angle and is threaded for use with any of our EvenMix® mixers. This does NOT include the mixer or the blades/shaft.
Please Note - We highly recommend also purchasing our smaller, 2″ Tall Variable Pitch blades, as well as a 29″ shaft for mixing in 55-gallon drums/barrels. Larger “tote” blades on a standard 32" shaft runs the risk of hitting the walls of the barrel when angled. You can purchase these smaller blades and a shorter 29″ shaft by Clicking Here.

The EvenMix® 1.25 HP Air Clamp Mount Mixer is reliable, effective, and easy to install and use.
Open tanks typically have mixers with heavy and large drives and fixtures to hold them in place. EvenMix® has brought their advanced technology to serve the open tank market with their digital drive and patented mixing blades. Don’t settle for an expensive mixer that requires a large support structure and cumbersome drive. Technology has advanced to the point where you can have a low weight drive installed that will evenly mix your tank contents quickly and effectively. Furthermore, with an EvenMix® Clamp Mount Mixer you can move it from tank to tank and share the drive amongst mixers. The EvenMix® Mix and Match System is modular and allows for drives (both air and electric) to be shared amount various mixers due to their common simple interface.
Durability and performance are first and foremost the top priorities our management team has when developing new mixing blades and other mixing products. So, of course we put forth those thoughts and efforts when creating our clamp mount mixer. Along with a superior mixing capability, our tank mixer has patented technology similar companies cannot offer in their products. We are easily 1/3 of the weight of our competitors while providing superior mixing performance due to our patented mixing blades.
With the EvenMix® mixed flow blade utilized as a part of the tank mixer’s design, you’ll see liquids undergo vertical mixing like they never have before. Because of the patented technology we use for the clamp mount mixer, the contents of the poly or metal tank will be evenly mixed. Why is that? Our mixed flow blade that has been designed for mixing everything from food to chemicals and it reflects NASA based engineering for optimum performance while mixing. **Yes, it is rocket science!**
While the EvenMix® clamp mount mixer won’t spin fast enough to propel you into outer space, it does mix at 135-RPM maximum but the speed is variable and easily controlled. For the operator of this clamp mount mixer, the motor can be moved from tank to tank ***or*** the operator can use several EvenMix® tank mixers with a single motor. Our management team had everyone’s mixing needs in mind when designing this advanced tool.
What’s more, our IBC clamp mount mixer not only has easy handling for the operator, but it features easy installation for those rookie operators. The whole clamp mount mixer unit **weighs only ten pounds**, and can be installed on an open container within seconds. All that is required of the operator is to simply insert the blade in the liquid, tighten the clamp on the rim of the tank, and adjust the angle of the mixer if necessary. Unlike other companies in the mixing industry, there is no extra hardware required with the EvenMix® clamp mount mixer.
If reliable performance is something that you’re searching for, look no further. We have tested the EvenMix® IBC Clamp Mount Mixer up to 50,000 cps. It’s mixed Corn Gluten that had settled for about a year, that’s right a sludge the consistency of peanut butter was mixed throughout a large IBC in about 3 minutes. Bring it on, we can mix it!
As this is the industry’s ***only*** mixed flow blade, whatever liquids require vertical mixing, you’ll have a blade that can fold into open and closed positions for optimum levels of mixing. We proudly manufacture all of our mixing pieces — including the mixed flow blade and the drive — in the United States. Not only will the EvenMix® clamp mount mixer blow competitors’ comparable tools out of the water, you’ll want to “tote” this mixing blade with you everywhere.
Watch a demonstration of the EvenMix® Clamp Mount Mixer at work on our **[YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jgKB6PHt34)**.
We offer EvenMix® blades for Tanks, IBC’s, 55 gallon drums, and pails in with [air](https://evenmix.com/product/even-mix-air-motor) and electric motors. Whatever your mixing need – we’ve got you covered (mixed, blended, whatever you prefer!)

## **EvenMix® Drum Mixer – 1.25 HP Air Geared Drive**
The EvenMix® Drum Mixer is a revolution to the drum market. Never before have you been able to insert into a closed head a mixing blade as large and capable of mixing your liquids. The EvenMix® is the answer to your mixing challenges.
### **Power and Stability**
We have a powerful geared drive motor available in air or electric enhanced with our gearbox that is built from engineered metals built to last with 2 big beefy bearings capable of taking heavy loads. Our bracket is easy to install and engineered to securely hold the drive and mixer steady. It won’t wobble.
### **Patented Mixing Blade**
With all of that going for it, the real genius is in the mixing blade. It’s a folding twisted blade that expands to 15” in diameter when fully expanded. The EvenMix® patented blade folds to fit into a 2” bung side or center opening. That’s right, a variable pitch blade (not a mixing paddle which doesn’t create much mixing or a straight pitch blade which creates cyclones that suck air into your liquid) but a patented EvenMix® blade that goes from 90 degrees to 30 degrees and in several of our videos is proven to produce a superior mix – in a closed head drum.
### **3D Mixing Performance**
Look at how the EvenMix® moves liquid around the drum as it circulates material and liquid. This drum is filled with 1,000 centipoise liquid glycerin (about the consistency of paint) with some blue stars and sand, yes sand. You can even see how it picks up sand from the bottom of the drum and moves it around the container. We have really had a breakthrough with this mixer by engineering a way to get the blade into the drum. All wetted parts are made from Non-reactive food-grade stainless steel 316.
drum mixer drum agitator mixer drum drum mixers
### **You can put it where?**
How can you use it? In a closed head drum with a 2 inch bung to the side of a top lid (with the mounting bracket). In a closed head with a 2-inch center bung on the top lid. In an open head with a 1 1/2 inch or 2-inch center bung in the top lid. All Yes! Just pick your drive – air or electric. Could you use this same mixer on an IBC – yes. EvenMix® is modular so you can use it in the way that suits your needs.
### **Installation & Operation**
The EvenMix® blades insert easily through a 2-inch bung opening. They fold down to a compact shape that effortlessly fits into a closed head opening. Once they begin to turn the hydrodynamic forces open the blades and they go to work on your liquid. When you’re done mixing and stop the air or electric drive the blades will relax and fold back down ready to be moved to the next drum. It’s a simple design that is going to revolutionize how you mix drums. No more rolling the drum on the floor or a stand. No more inserting a bunch of small mixing blades in through the top lid. Get an EvenMix® and get the job done right, quick, and easy.

We offer EvenMix® blades for [IBC Tote Mixers](https://evenmix.com/product/ibc-tote-mixer), 55 gallon drums, and 10 and 5 gallon pails. Whatever your mixing need – we’ve got you covered (mixed, blended, whatever you prefer!)

### [EvenMix® Bulkhead Mount](https://evenmix.com/product/evenmix-bulkhead-mount/)
**Published:** July 7, 2025
**Author:** Chris Lintner
**Excerpt:** Product #9520-90040 - EvenMix® Bulkhead Mounting Solution – The EvenMix® Bulkhead Mount allows you to mount your EvenMix® Mixer Package in practically any location. Simply drill a hole (or utilize an existing hole) in the container and install the Bulkhead Mount. This mounting solution is threaded to a 2” NPT fitting so all EvenMix® Standard Duty Drives (Air, Digital, or Battery Powered) will utilize our standard 2” reducer and our Heavy Duty Digital Drive will direct thread to the Bulkhead Mount.
This mounting solution is one of the most stable mounts available for your EvenMix® system when installed correctly. It works great with tanks of all sizes, but it primarily used in larger containers (over 800 gallons) where the EvenMix® Large Tank Manway Mounting Bracket and Lid (5000-10115) is not ideal or a more stable solution is needed. The EvenMix® Bulkhead Mount also allows for center installation ensuring that the entire container is mixed equally – as (with most containers) you can pick the mounting location.
Simply review the technical drawing (in the images) on this page for measurements concerning the hole size when modifying your tank OR call us (440-236-6677) with any questions and we’d be happy to assist.

***Product SKU: 9520-90040***
Safely mount your Air or Digital (Standard Duty and Heavy Duty) EvenMix® Large Tank Mixer to the top of most common large plastic/polymer tanks. This mount is designed to hold our Air or Digital Drives, while having a center hole large enough to fit our reinforced shaft and locking collar utilized in our Large Tank Mixers. This mounting solution can also work with various other smaller containers with some minor customization to the tank (ex. drilling a small hole for installation of the Bulkhead Mount).
Once installed, the Bulkhead Mount becomes a permanent adaptation to your container. If you ever need to remove the Drive from the vessel, you will leave the Bulkhead Mount installed. Each container that you plan on utilizing the Bulkhead Mount for will require it’s own Bulkhead Mount.
**Please Note: This Product Does NOT Include an EvenMix® Drive, Shaft or Blade Set. This is mounting solution for our Air Driven and Digital (Electric) Mixer Packages in non-standard sized container or large poly tanks.**

The EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer is low weight, effective, and reliable.
As they’re re-useable, an intermediate bulk container (IBC, for those in-the-know) can see many liquids that need proper mixing in only a brief period of time. While other businesses within the mixing and mixing blade products industry may claim that their blades can mix paints, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more the most efficiently, the newest item in our family of products will blow other tote mixers out of the water and IBC.
Quality and handling are first and foremost the top priorities our management team has when developing new mixing blades and other mixing products.

In an open head with a 1 1/2 inch or 2-inch center bung in the top lid. All Yes! Just pick your drive – air or electric. Could you use this same mixer on an IBC – yes. EvenMix® is modular so you can use it in the way that suits your needs.
### **Installation & Operation**
The EvenMix® blades insert easily through a 2-inch bung opening on your barrels and drums. They fold down to a compact shape that effortlessly fits into a closed head opening. Once they begin to turn the hydrodynamic forces open the blades and they go to work on your liquid. When you’re done mixing and stop the air or electric drive the blades will relax and fold back down ready to be moved to the next drum or barrel. It’s a simple design that is going to revolutionize how you mix barrels. No more rolling the drum on the floor or a stand. No more inserting a bunch of small mixing blades in through the top lid. Get an EvenMix® and get the job done right, quick, and easy.

***NOTE: This product must be purchased with a package containing EvenMix®’s Patented Variable Pitch Blade Sets. If you desire Food Grade Welds, please add this item to your cart. This covers a SINGLE (1) Blade Set. If you have 2 or 3 blade sets on your shaft, you will need to purchase 2 or 3 “Food Grade Welds” to make the entire unit food grade.***
If you need some extra mixing action then you can add an extra set of EvenMix® Folding Blades to your IBC or Drum mixer. They can be positioned anywhere on the hex shaft and are identical to the ones already with the mixer.
The EvenMix® Food Grade Welded Blades add to the 3D mixing action created by our patented blades.
As they’re re-useable, an intermediate bulk container (IBC, for those in-the-know) can see many liquids that need proper mixing in only a brief period of time. While other mixer companies may claim that their blades can mix paints, food, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and more the most efficiently, the newest item in our family of products will blow other tote mixers out of the water and IBC.
Quality and handling are first and foremost the top priorities our management team has when developing new mixing blades and other mixing products. So, of course we have your mixing success in mind when creating our IBC tote mixer. Along with a superior mixing capability, our tote mixer for IBCs and large plastic totes has patented technology other companies cannot offer.
With the EvenMix® Folding Blades utilized as a part of the tote mixer’s design, you’ll see liquids undergo vertical mixing like they never have before. Because of the patented technology we use for the IBC tote mixer, the contents of the intermediate bulk container will be evenly mixed. Why is that? Our mixed flow blade that has been designed for mixing everything from food to chemicals and it reflects NASA based engineering for optimum performance while mixing. **Yes, it is rocket science!**
While the EvenMix® IBC mixer won’t spin fast enough to propel you into outer space, it does have a 160-RPM at 90 PSI. For the operator of this IBC tote mixer, the motor can be moved easily from tote to tote ***or*** the operator can use several EvenMix® tote mixers with a single motor. Our management team had everyone’s mixing needs in mind when designing this advanced tool.
What’s more, our IBC tote mixer not only has easy handling for the operator, but it features easy installation for those rookie operators. The whole tote mixer unit **weighs only nine pounds**, and can be installed in an intermediate bulk container within seconds. All that is required of the operator is to simply insert the blade and screw in the attached lid of the IBC. Plus, our IBC tote mixer is easily inserted in a six-inch opening of an intermediate bulk container — so even the smallest of openings can use our newest mixing product. Unlike other companies in the mixing industry, there is no extra hardware required with the EvenMix® tote mixer. We only use the cap for the 6″ top bung. The mixer and the electric or air motor are balanced so they don’t need a large apparatus to hold them.
If reliable performance is something that you’re searching for, look no further. We have tested the EvenMix® IBC Tote Mixer up to 50,000 cps. It’s mixed Corn Gluten that had settled for about a year, that’s right a sludge the consistency of mustard was mixed throughout a large IBC in about 3 minutes. Bring it on, we can mix it!
As this is the industry’s ***only*** mixed flow blade, whatever liquids require vertical mixing, you’ll have a blade that can fold into open and closed positions for optimum levels of mixing. We proudly manufacture all of our mixing pieces — including the mixed flow blade and the air motor — in the United States. Not only will the EvenMix® tote mixer blow competitors’ comparable tools out of the water, you’ll want to “tote” this mixing blade with you everywhere.

We offer EvenMix® blades for IBC’s, 55 gallon drums, and 10 and 5 gallon pails. Whatever your mixing need – we’ve got you covered (mixed, blended, whatever you prefer!)
