Matrix Perfection. Process Reliability in Minutes.
How trajectory mixing revolutionizes the quality and efficiency of your FRP production – without agitators, without compromise.
"Mix your matrix, not your schedules."
The Matrix Determines Component Performance
The mechanical performance and longevity of an FRP component is largely determined by the quality of the matrix.
Complete Impregnation
Every single fiber must be homogeneously and completely enclosed by the resin system to effectively transfer loads.
Absolute Defect-Free Quality
Air inclusions (voids) are critical defects. They reduce mechanical strength and are the starting point for delamination.
Structural Integrity
Functional fillers and additives (e.g., for lightweight construction or fire protection) must remain intact and perfectly dispersed.
When the Tool Becomes a Process Risk
Attempting to create a perfect matrix with mechanical agitators is a compromise that undermines process reliability.
🔥 Thermal Stress
Uncontrollable Heat Input
⚙️ Mechanical Stress
Destructive Shear Forces
Mixing Through Controlled Trajectory
The hs-tumbler replaces mechanical force with the intelligently utilized physical laws of inertia and gravity.
Preparation
Components are placed directly into the sealed final container (Mix-In-Case). No open system, no agitators.
Process
The machine performs a complex motion (trajectory). The material is gently but intensively tumbled.
Result
A perfectly homogeneous, bubble-free mixture in seconds. The material permeates itself.
Lissajous trajectory curve (frequency ratio 5:4, phase shift 90°)

| Criterion | Conventional Agitator | hs-tumbler Trajectory Mixer |
|---|---|---|
| Mixing Principle | Mechanical shearing | Controlled trajectory & inertia |
| Heat Input | High (friction), uncontrolled | Low, only mechanical work on substrate |
| Pot Life Utilization | Drastically reduced, process-unsafe | Maximum, 100% controlled |
| Filler Structure | Destruction by high shear forces | 100% structural preservation |
| Homogeneity | Operator & geometry dependent | Perfect and reproducible in seconds |
| Cleaning | Time & cost intensive (solvents) | Much easier (dishwasher or cleaning cycle) |
| Cross-Contamination | High risk | Eliminated through "Mix-In-Case" |
| Process Reliability | Low, operator dependent | Maximum, 100% reproducible |
