Problem
Many industries rely on intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) to store and transport liquids, emulsions, dispersions, and suspensions, which often require mixing or homogenization prior to use. Traditional mixing solutions may be energy-intensive, ineffective, or unsuitable for shear-sensitive media, leading to inconsistent product quality and potential waste.
Solution
Hybrid Chemie offers the Impulsmischer, an air-operated mixing device designed for IBCs and other industrial containers. Unlike conventional container agitators, the Impulsmischer utilizes pulsed compressed air to generate large bubbles that create both vertical and horizontal mixing action within the container. This method ensures efficient mixing with minimal energy consumption and prevents material transfer from the air into the medium. The Impulsmischer is suitable for a wide range of applications, including mixing dispersions, dissolving powders, and homogenizing suspensions, even those with viscosities up to 15,000 mPa.s.
Target Audience
The primary customers are in the municipal, industrial, chemical, and paper industries that use IBCs for storing and transporting liquids, emulsions, dispersions, and suspensions.
