IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) are highly efficient blending
containers due to their irregular shape.
The real advantage of using IBCs is that they can be charged and discharged
away from the blender. This means that the blender does not get contaminated
with product, also time is saved on charging and cleaning.
IBC Blenders are therefore ideal for use in multi-product environments
where the machine will be required to blend a number of different
products within a short period.

Clamping
IBCs
Pharmatech IBCs are designed to be clamped by means of a Clamping
Bar. The clamping bar is welded along two sides of the IBC and allows
the IBC to be handled by an elegant ‘C’ frame blender.
The design allows simple open access to lid & valve.
Alternatively we provide full cage blenders which clamp the IBC at
both ends.
