Turbulator Mixing Systems, which began as Van Vuuren Developments cc in the early '80s, is a family business headed by Ben van Buuren (CEO) and assisted by his sons in design, engineering and fabrication and by a full marketing team.
Turbulator operates on the philosophy that it will not sell equipment until it is sure that it will fulfil the duty specified. In addition, clients are assisted in the development of the application and with the installation and commissioning of any equipment,
The Turbulator mixing system has been patented worldwide and now competes with the leaders in the mixing industry around the world, exporting to the UK, Belgium, Malaysia, United States, China and Japan. The range of applications for which the Turbulator was developed has proved to be successful and with constant research and development is growing from strength to strength.
Turbulator recently introduced two new concepts: the Wetj-Mill Turbulator Combo and the Aeration/Inducer System. The Turbulator technology has recently found a niche in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where hygienic mixing conditions are of critical importance.
