Yes there can be and many accessories/techniques exist to manage that depending on what exact system a client wants ( and is willing to pay for and actually do as part of a lubrication management program for their base stocks)
You have agitation from drum mixers, the filter carts and vortex tubes for recirculating and temperature controlled systems.
The problem is getting people to realize that in most cases bulk is filthy and nowhere nears any ISO cleanliness standard in the drum/tote you get it in and needs to be sampled and then maintained from the time it hits the shipping dock.
