TANK MIXER
Built Tough
Designed and built tough in the USA. We designed our mixing systems and make them in Cleveland. With the help of a NASA engineer, we have been able to perfect our systems to make them the best they can be. We pride ourselves in the durability and power of our mixers.
Low Weight
Our high-quality engineering has our air powered mixer at 9 pounds and our electric powered mixer at 12 pounds. Most mixers on the market weigh between 25 and 100 pounds. Make it easier on your employees and avoid safety issues!
3D Mixing
We asked paint, chemical, agriculture, food, and industrial companies for issues with mixing. They had a lot! Our Engineers solved the problems and designed the EvenMix® Blade. It was good enough to be patented. It mixes in 3D, unlike anything else.

Tank Mixer Design
The EvenMix® Tank Mixers are designed to be efficient and reliable. Thanks to our patented EvenMix® blades with a variable pitch, your mixtures will consistently circulate and mix.
The EvenMix® Tank mixing systems are used in a number of different industries. Our technology has been perfected to adapt to some of the most tough mixtures.
Our tank mixers come in a number of sizes, depending on the quantity and viscosity of what you are mixing. Even our largest tank mixers at 5,000 gallons are lightweight, always making them easy to work with.
The patented EvenMix® blades on our air or electric geared drives have a variable speed control from 1 to 20 that runs up to 135 rpm. An even mix can be created for mixtures up to 2,000 cps. Make it easier on you and your employees and let our mixers do the work!
With an even mix of your resins or materials throughout an IBC, you can reduce your material inputs and save money. The Mixed Flow Blades are unique in their design and shape. They fold to allow insertion through the 16″ opening while unfolding to mix the contents throughout the tank evenly.

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.
