What Is a Turbula Mixer?
A Turbula mixer is a specialized type of mixer used in precision mixing applications, designed to mix powder and granular materials through low-speed but multi-axial movements. Unlike conventional mixing systems that rely on high-speed agitation, it mixes materials by continuously changing direction with a three-dimensional motion.

Thanks to this principle:

• Particle breakage is kept to a minimum

• The risk of segregation is reduced

• Materials with significantly different densities and particle sizes are mixed homogeneously

These features make Turbula mixers indispensable, especially for laboratory, R&D, and high-precision industrial applications.

DMR Tekno’s Turbula Mixer Approach
DMR Tekno adopts a process-oriented engineering approach in Turbula mixer projects. Each application has different mixing times, volumes, material characteristics, and hygiene requirements. Therefore, every Turbula mixer is designed to meet a specific need.

DMR Tekno’s core approach is based on the following principles:

• Maximum mixing homogeneity

• Low energy consumption

• Gentle mixing that does not damage the product

• Long-lasting mechanical structure

• Ease of use and maintenance

Turbula mixers developed in line with these principles provide high reliability in production processes.

Working Principle of the Turbula Mixer
The most distinctive feature of Turbula mixers is their three-dimensional mixing motion. The mixing container moves simultaneously along multiple axes, allowing the material to continuously change position. By also utilizing gravity, this motion enables particles to mix naturally with one another.

Advantages provided by this system include:

• No dead zones

• Shorter mixing times

• Low mechanical stress

• Precise and repeatable results

DMR Tekno enhances this principle with application-specific optimizations to achieve maximum efficiency.

Key Considerations in Turbula Mixer Design
In DMR Tekno Turbula mixer designs, not only the mechanical structure but all process details are taken into account.

Mixing Volume
Turbula mixer solutions are developed in various volumes, from laboratory scale to industrial production.

Material Properties
Parameters such as particle size, density differences, flowability, and sensitivity form the basis of the design.

Mixing Time
Optimal mixing times are determined to achieve the desired level of homogeneity.

Hygiene and Cleaning
For food and chemical applications, stainless steel and easy-to-clean surfaces are preferred.

Mechanical Structure and Durability
The mechanical structure of Turbula mixers must ensure smooth and balanced operation over long periods. DMR Tekno provides long-lasting solutions by using high-quality bearings, balanced shaft systems, and robust frame structures.

Mechanical design priorities include:

• Vibration-free operation

• High balance and stability

• No performance loss during long-term use

• Easy maintenance and service

As a result, Turbula mixers deliver stable performance even under intensive operating conditions.

Mixing Containers and Accessories
DMR Tekno Turbula mixer solutions are designed to be compatible with various mixing containers, which can be changed according to the application.

Available container types include:

• Stainless steel containers

• Polymer or special alloy containers

• Small-volume laboratory containers

• High-capacity containers for industrial production

This flexibility enables different products to be processed on the same mixer.

Automation and Control Systems
DMR Tekno Turbula mixers can be equipped with advanced control systems. Automation options range from manual operation to fully automatic solutions.

Advantages provided by control systems include:

• Adjustment of mixing time and speed

• Recipe definition

• Minimization of operator errors

• Process repeatability

These features offer significant advantages, especially in industries with strict quality standards.

Energy Efficiency
The low-speed operating principle of Turbula mixers minimizes energy consumption. DMR Tekno prevents unnecessary energy losses by selecting motors and transmission systems suitable for the application.

Energy efficiency approach:

• Optimized motor power

• Balanced mechanical structure

• Minimal friction losses

This reduces operating costs while minimizing environmental impact.
