Trajectory Mixing for Ceramics & Refractory Materials

Trajectory Mixing is a container-based mixing technology for ceramic and refractory formulations such as castables, slips, pastes and high-solid suspensions.
Instead of using stirring tools, the entire container is moved on controlled trajectories, creating intensive and highly uniform mixing inside the material.

This allows efficient wetting of fine powders, homogeneous binder distribution and gentle handling of aggregates – without shear-induced damage or metal contamination.

Because the material remains in a closed container, cross-contamination is eliminated and cleaning between batches is reduced to a simple container change.
This makes trajectory mixing ideal for multi-product production, test batches and high-performance refractory and ceramic formulations.

Typical applications
