To achieve the vibrant color you envision for your model paint, it’s crucial to thoroughly mix the pigments that settle at the bottom of the paint bottle. Acrylic and enamel paints, in particular, have a high viscosity, making it a tedious task to mix by hand. The **Vortex Stirrer TURBO** is a dedicated mixer for model paints that allows you to stir the paint while it's still in the bottle by rotating it at high speed. The vortex force lifts and mixes the pigments settled at the bottom.
Simply set the bottle in the clip-type holder and turn the knob, and the tool will automatically mix the paint evenly. It is compatible with all types of model paint bottles, primers, decal adhesives, and even spray cans. This revolutionary item ensures thorough mixing in a short time.
Turn the knob, and the mixing is complete!
Place the paint bottle in the holder and secure it with the clip to get started. Adjust the knob to match the bottle size, and the rotation will begin, starting the mixing process. With the built-in timer, the unit will automatically stop after 2 minutes.
The specially designed rotating stage and powerful motor ensure fast and smooth mixing. The vortex force efficiently blends the pigments and paint components, restoring the paint to its true color for perfect results. Even pigments that are strongly settled at the bottom, like those in enamel or fluorescent paints, can be lifted and thoroughly mixed.
You can use the mixer continuously for up to 5 bottles (5 cycles). Plus, during the mixing process, you can use your free hand to work on other tasks, improving your work efficiency.
*Note: If you plan to use it more than six times, please wait for about 10 minutes before using it again.
Compatible with a wide range of model paints and decal adhesives.
The clip on the bottle holder is specially designed to securely grip all types of commercially available model paints. It can also hold square paint bottles, decal adhesives, and model spray cans for mixing, allowing for faster and more powerful mixing compared to manual methods.
*Note: Large diameter or long spray cans not intended for model use cannot be used.
The speed can be adjusted according to the type of paint.
The speed can be adjusted in three levels according to the size of the bottle. By turning the knob to the right, the rotation speed gradually increases.
- Blue gauge (low speed): For large capacity spare bottles (40-50ml), surfacers (40-50ml), model spray cans (100ml), etc.
- Yellow gauge (medium speed): For lacquer and water-based acrylic paints (10-30ml), etc.
- Red gauge (high speed): For enamel paints (10ml or less), etc.
Adjust the rotation speed within the ranges listed above based on the condition of the paint you wish to mix.
*Note: To prevent malfunction or the risk of containers flying out, always follow the recommended speed for the corresponding container size.
*Please be cautious if there are small children nearby, as contact with the knob or rotating mechanism may cause injury or cause the bottle to fly out.
*If the paint bottle has a low amount of paint, add an appropriate amount of solvent before use.
*For paint that has not been used for a long time, the pigments may have hardened and stuck to the bottom of the bottle, so it is recommended to shake it more than twice.
*As the amount of paint increases, the recoil and operational noise during rotation will become louder.
No mess, no paint waste.
The Vortex Stirrer TURBO mixes paint without opening the bottle, using the power of a vortex to stir it. No need for stirring tools like mixers, metal balls, or magnets. Since nothing is added to the paint, there is no waste from cleaning tools. When paired with the optional "Tarenna Inner Cap," you can mix and extract the paint without any tools.
The compact design ensures it doesn’t interfere with your workspace, allowing for stable and efficient use.
The device is designed to be palm-sized, ensuring it doesn't take up much space in your workspace. Additionally, its numerous suction cups on the bottom firmly grip the table, allowing for stable use even during high-speed rotations.
Easy-to-use USB power supply with built-in safety features.
The Vortex Stirrer TURBO comes with a USB Type-C cable and a dedicated AC adapter, so it can be used right away. Additionally, it can be powered by commercially available mobile batteries, allowing you to use it even when there is no outlet nearby.
*Note: A mobile battery with a rated output of 2A (10W) is required.
The device features a safety mechanism that automatically stops operation if abnormal conditions such as overheating or overcurrent are detected, ensuring safe use.
