The 6-Inch Challenge: Solved by Engineering
Most industrial IBC totes have a standard 150mm (6-inch) screw cap opening. Traditional large-diameter mixers cannot fit without dangerous cutting. Our Retractable Impeller Technology solves this by entering folded and expanding via centrifugal force.
Safety First
Eliminates the need to cut tote lids, preserving structural integrity and preventing contamination.
Centrifugal Expansion
Blades automatically open at low RPM. Designed for effective diameters up to 400mm.
High Viscosity Ready
Creates massive flow for liquids up to 40,000 cPs (paints, resins, glues).
Operations Simulator
Use the toggle to simulate the installation and mixing process.
Operation Stage:
1. Insert
2. Mix
Blade Status:
Folded (Vertical)
Effective Diameter:
140 mm
