UNIST Vortex Fluid Mixing System
ACCURATE AND REPEATABLE WATER-TO-CONCENTRATE MIXING
The Vortex™ delivers accurate mixing ratios from 1:1 to 99:1 at flow rates between 1.5 and 5 gallons per minute. Built to handle a variety of fluids—including machining coolants, stamping lubricants, mold release agents, and grinding fluids.
Patent-pending vacuum sensing technology maintains precise mixing, outperforming traditional venturi systems—even under fluctuating water pressure.
A System Designed for Accurate Fluid Mixing
The Vortex™ simplifies fluid preparation by allowing operators to select the required mix ratio and batch size directly from its digital interface. The system can be used to manually fill containers, replenish holding tanks, or supply a central fluid system.
ACCURATE MIX RATIOS
The Vortex™ provides precise water-to-concentrate ratios from 1:1 to 99:1. The system is designed to deliver consistent and repeatable mix ratios according to application requirements.
EASY DIGITAL CONTROL
The digital interface allows operators to quickly set the mix ratio and batch size. Once the desired settings have been entered, simply start the mixing cycle.
VACUUM SENSING TECHNOLOGY
The Vortex™ uses patent-pending vacuum sensing technology to maintain precise mixing, outperforming traditional venturi systems even under fluctuating water pressure.
COMPLETE MIXING
The Vortex™ uses an in-line static mixer to ensure a complete blend of water and concentrate.
