Abstract
A fluid mixing system includes a container bounding a compartment and extending between a first end and an opposing second end. An elongated first drive line and second drive line are disposed within the compartment of the container and are rotatable therein. At least one tie extends between the first drive line and the second drive line so as to maintain at least a portion of the first drive line and the second drive line at lateral spaced apart positions within the compartment. An impeller or other mixing element can be coupled to the drive lines.
