Agitating inks in 1,000-litre containers
Our IBC agitators maintain the homogeneity of the base components that are contained in IBC containers to feed the dispensing system.
Different versions, different viscosities
We have two different versions of IBC agitators available:
- IBC agitator for inks up to 2,500 mPas, with collapsible mixing cups and a powerful air motor with a gear box.
- IBC agitator for water-based inks up to 5,000 mPas, with collapsible mixing cups and driven by a powerful electrical motor (see picture).
Pneumatic controls
The pneumatic agitators are directly connected to the air supply, meaning that they mix constantly. Optionally, the equipment can be delivered with pneumatic controls for the air supply and the agitator. This enables the configuration of the mixing cycles in the GSE Ink manager software. You can then programme the mixing to take place during circulation or during circulation and dispensing. The pneumatic agitators are suitable for both water-based and solvent-based inks. The solvent-based models feature an explosion-proof specification as standard.
