Heavy-duty vortex mixers
Our Heavy-duty vortex mixers category covers the OHAUS VXHDAL and VXHDDG, built for continuous-duty operation across the entire speed range. A robust design and a high-quality German-manufactured motor let these mixers run all day with accessories loaded up to 1.1 kg, without the speed or duty-cycle limits of standard vortex mixers.

About Our Heavy-Duty Vortex Mixers
The OHAUS VXHDAL and VXHDDG are built to increase productivity by vortexing multiple samples continuously, without derating speed or duty cycle over a shift. A German-manufactured motor and a robust housing support continuous-duty operation across the full speed range, with a locking accessory design that keeps mixing safe even at the highest speeds.
Analog and Digital Control
The VXHDAL offers variable speed control as an economical, non-digital option, running from 300 rpm to 2500 rpm in On mode or 300 rpm to 3500 rpm in Touch mode. The VXHDDG adds a digital display, a timer, and exact speed control for applications that demand repeatable results, across the same speed range.
Load Capacity and Accessory Range
Both models carry a 4.9 mm orbit and support up to 1.1 kg of accessory load, with a wide range of holders for microtubes, microplates, and tube sizes from 0.5 to 50 ml. Foam inserts, single and stackable microplate holders, and vessel holders for 125 ml to 1 L flasks are available, alongside a universal holder and cup head included as standard.
Who This Category Suits
Laboratories running vortex mixing continuously throughout the day, with multiple samples, tube sizes, or microplates in rotation, and that need a mixer built to withstand that duty cycle without wearing out.
