Trajectory Mixer K1 – Hygienic and Fast Mixing for Food and Nutrition Applications
In food and nutrition research, developers face a variety of challenges: highly viscous doughs, sensitive emulsions, powder-based functional ingredients, or plant-based products. Traditional mixers often operate too slowly, create dead zones, or cause mechanical stress that negatively affects texture and quality. Additionally, the high effort required for cleaning and preventing cross-contamination costs valuable time in the lab.
The Trajectory Mixer K1 offers a radically new solution. Through our patented principle of Trajectory Mixing, the entire product volume moves simultaneously – without stirring tools, without dead zones, without abrasion. The result: homogeneous mixtures in seconds, hygienic, reproducible, and directly scalable to production.
Hermetically sealed, sterilizable containers prevent cross-contamination – a crucial advantage for sensitive formulations, allergen control, or clean-label products.
Homogeneity in seconds instead of minutes or hours. This allows for more recipe variations to be tested and development times to be drastically shortened.
Without shear forces and without tool contact, proteins, starch molecules, or sensitive fat structures remain undamaged. Texture, mouthfeel, and nutritional value are preserved.
Identical process parameters yield identical results – from lab batches to production on a ton scale.
Compared to conventional mixers, the K1 requires significantly less energy, cooling, and cleaning cycles.
In food development, flexibility is key: many small trials, different ingredient combinations, and short reaction times. The K1 supports this through:
Fast and homogeneous, without mechanical stress. Suitable for gluten-free or protein-rich formulations.
Finely distributed phases for stable, reproducible results. Ideal for mayonnaise, dressings, or plant-based emulsions.
Even distribution of powders, vitamins, minerals, or probiotics. Reproducible results for R&D and quality assurance.
Consistent mixtures for meat or cheese alternatives. Gentle mixing of sensitive proteins and fibers.
Homogeneous distribution of microorganisms and nutrients. Hygienic, closed containers for safe processes.
With a footprint of only 0.8 × 0.8 m, the K1 seamlessly fits into any laboratory environment. Its processes can be directly transferred to larger systems like the J4 high-performance mixer – from prototypes on a gram scale to series production with several tons per hour.
Thus, the K1 becomes the link between lab, pilot, and production – significantly shortening the path from recipe idea to market-ready product.
The K1 utilizes patented Trajectory Mixing, which moves the entire product volume simultaneously. It works completely without stirring tools, eliminating dead zones, shear stress, and mechanical abrasion.
The K1 uses hermetically sealed, sterilizable containers. It features a "one container – one process" concept, meaning everything from dosing to the final product happens inside the same vessel, preventing allergen contamination and saving cleaning time.
It is highly effective for processing doughs & pastes, stable emulsions & sauces, functional foods, plant-based products, and starter cultures where preserving texture, nutritional values, and proteins is critical.
Yes, the mixing processes and parameters of the K1 are directly transferable to larger systems like the J4 high-performance mixer, enabling seamless scaling from gram-scale prototypes to production scales of several tons per hour.
Due to its tool-free dynamic movement, the K1 requires significantly fewer cleaning and cooling cycles, resulting in up to 80% energy savings compared to conventional industrial mixers.
Yes, the K1 has a very compact footprint of only 0.8 × 0.8 meters, allowing it to fit effortlessly into almost any R&D or laboratory space.
