VELP Classic / Wizard IR Vortex Mixer Series
The VELP Classic and Wizard IR are compact vortex mixers sharing the same robust platform, engineered for reliable mixing across a wide range of laboratory applications. Both models feature a zinc alloy base with chemical-resistant technopolymer housing, electronic speed control up to 3000 rpm, and a slim low-profile footprint that takes up minimal bench space. The Classic offers touch and continuous operating modes for straightforward everyday mixing. The Wizard IR upgrades the experience with VELP's patented infrared sensor technology, which detects tube presence and starts vibration automatically without any physical pressure, eliminating repetitive strain and reducing operator fatigue over long sessions. Both models support a broad range of accessories for tubes, plates, and flasks, and are backed by IP 42 protection against particles and liquid splashes. Designed and manufactured in Italy, the Classic and Wizard IR are a practical, durable choice for any lab bench.
