When precision batching and accurate ingredient handling are required in mixing and blending processes, charge cans and ponies provide essential functionality. With more than 47 years of industry leadership, IPP maintains the world’s largest selection of ready-to-ship process equipment, sourced from 20 complete plant sites and featuring over 15,000 pieces of equipment. Our used charge cans and ponies ensure efficient raw material delivery, helping companies reduce downtime and improve process control without the expense of buying new.

Charge cans and ponies are specialized vessels designed to deliver precise batches of raw materials into mixers, reactors, or blending systems. They simplify the charging process, providing both containment and controlled feeding to maintain consistent batch quality and avoid contamination between product runs. In some processes, ponies are integrated directly with mixers for seamless ingredient addition.

Primary uses across industries

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, charge cans allow precise delivery of active ingredients and excipients into blending systems.
In chemical processing, they provide controlled addition of fine powders, catalysts, and specialty chemicals.
In food production, charge cans handle ingredients such as flavorings, preservatives, and emulsifiers.
In cosmetics, they ensure accurate addition of pigments, oils, and active compounds to mixers.
