Tote mixer from York Fluid Controls handles diversity of liquids

The ITM 7000 integrated tote mixer for plastic totes

York Fluid Controls Ltd. carries world-class fluid-handling solutions, such as the ITM 7000 integrated tote mixer for plastic totes. Built to optimize quality assurance, this tote mixer allows the user to mix and ship new products in plastic totes, with a design that prevents cross-contamination. A key advantage of the ITM 7000 is the wide diversity of liquids that it can mix. It also overcomes the common tote-mixer issues of settling and separation.

Broad range of motor types

This integrated tote mixer can be applied at every stage of a product’s life cycle, including processing, storage, and shipment to an end user’s facility. The ITM 7000 is available with a broad range of motor types, such as compressed-air drive and electrical motors, ranging from ½ to two horsepower and gear reduction ratios of 5:1, 10:1, or 21:1. Other options include air, electricity, variable speed, and explosion-proof.

What distinguishes this tote mixer is its collapsible-impeller technology, which enables mixing that tote containers cannot achieve. The collapsible impellers allows the ITM 7000 to overcome the limitation of the standard six-inch opening on plastic totes, as it can expand internally up to 21 inches in diameter. The larger blades provide the required pumping and tank turnover to bring the product back into specification. Users get higher quality, better performance, and more energy efficiency from properly sized impellers.

Another key feature of this mixer from York Fluid Controls is its dynamic drive coupling with detachable drive and agitator segments. These detachable segments enable single-person installation and removal, with a design that allows the user to purchase a single-drive segment and use it on multiple totes with dedicated agitator segments. The agitators do not need to be cleaned between applications, resulting in less maintenance and contamination.

The mixer also has a mount that allows fully enclosed mixing, setting it apart from tote mixers that do not close the tote opening when mounted. The mount creates a sealed enclosure that prevents foreign particles and contaminants from entering the tote during operation, so users can control mixing and product quality.
