Since 1990, Westerville’s JBW Systems, Inc. has focused on a single specialty: portable pneumatic mixing systems that agitate coatings and other materials directly in drums and tanks. Its lightweight JBW Mixing System draws material from the bottom for thorough sediment disbursement, while the Fugitive Emission Reduction Cover helps contain emissions and provides fire protection during mixing. The company’s founder brought paint-industry experience dating to 1965 to the design of the system.
