Battery-Powered Mixer Works In Different Containers

Battery-Powered Mixer Works In Different Containers EvenMix developed a new battery-powered mixer to stir liquids in totes, tanks and drums. Unlike the company’s earlier air-driven or 110-volt mixers, this unit runs on standard Dewalt or Milwaukee batteries. The specialized mixer is modular and can be used with a drive pipe and blade assembly in all three types of containers. The standard-duty digital gear drive is their most popular unit and is designed for intermittent mixing. Patented variable pitch folding blade sets (16 by 4 in.) match a 32-in. shaft and fit through a 6-in. opening on most IBC totes. A drum bung blade set (15 by 2 in.) fits on a 29-in. shaft and slides through a 2-in. bung opening on most steel or polymer drums. Simply install the battery and select an adjustable speed setting from 0 to 20. “Depending on the battery amperage, you get about an hour of run time for 2 amps,” says EvenMix Commercial Director Chris Lintner. “They have very low energy consumption. Just turn them on and walk away.” The mixer is ideal for farm chemicals like atrazine and corn gluten, as well as thicker liquids that settle out, such as adhesives and polymers. All mixers are no-shear and max out at 150 rpm. “What sets our mixers apart is they’re lightweight at under 20 lbs.,” Lintner says. “Also, our patented blade design recirculates material well in square containers. With the module aspect, you can use the same drive in a tote, tank or barrel, saving money as you don’t need to buy numerous units.” The battery-powered mixers are assembled in Ohio and shipped directly or from dealers. Prices range between $3,500 and $5,500 plus S&H. Batteries aren’t included.
