VELP Vortex Mixer Series
The VELP Vortex Mixer Series covers routine and advanced mixing needs across four variants, from the simple and dependable RX3 through to the fully featured TX4 with digital display and IR sensor. All four models share the same zinc alloy and technopolymer construction, 4.5 mm orbital diameter, IP 42 protection, and broad accessory compatibility for tubes, microplates, and flasks. The RX3 delivers consistent fixed-speed touch operation for basic tasks. The ZX3 adds adjustable speed and both touch and continuous operating modes for greater workflow flexibility. The ZX4 and TX4 introduce VELP's patented infrared sensor technology, which starts vibration automatically when a tube is detected, eliminating the need for physical pressure and reducing repetitive strain. The TX4 further adds a large LCD display with digital speed and timer control for precision and reproducibility in timed, unattended operations. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the VELP Vortex Mixer Series has a model for every lab.
