Drum and container blender

Batch mixing, blending, and ensuring optimal distribution of active ingredients and additives with the Glatt container blender.

ATEX-compliant drum and container blender for every application

We have the right solution for every mixing application. Whether you need standard containers, custom transport containers, or drums, our efficient container blenders can be easily integrated into your production lines and are quick and easy to load. Capacities of up to 3,000 liters can be easily achieved.

Advantages over traditional mixing methods

Traditional fixed‑bowl mixers often require extensive cleaning, complex product transfers, and pose contamination risks. Our sealed container mixer design keeps the product inside the IBC throughout the entire process, minimizing cleaning, reducing operator exposure, and ensuring safe, efficient blending.

Laboratory and production‑scale flexibility

Glatt offers a full selection of drum handling devices ranging from compact CML laboratory blenders to full‑scale production container mixers. Identical process principles across all systems ensure seamless scalability from R&D to manufacturing.
