1. Performance and Main Features
2. Applications
InvoMatic is an automated mixing system developed to produce highly homogeneous mixtures at controlled time
and speed. InvoMatic works in a 3-axis movement, combining the principles of the oloid and inversion mixing, creat-
ing a unique 3D-movement cycle, that allows a complete diusive mix. Also, it is equipped with a digital system that
allows the pharmacist to choose their mixing cycles according to their needs, creating multiple combinations to it
the formulation characteristics, achieving easy and eicient reproducibility.
InvoMatic system is a cost-eicient, practical, and val-
idated alternative to the traditional mixing techniques
in the compounding pharmacy. InvoMatic works on
a diusive mixing method, that consists of particles
moving randomly inside of a vessel, under inluence of
gravity to impel the low, causing the particles to roll
to the opposite side of the vessel, therefore producing
homogeneous mixtures. Extra tools such as porcelain
or ceramic spheres (not included) can be added inside
of the vessels during mixing, according to the proper-
ties of the substances being mixed, to avoid particle
agglomeration and provide evenly distributed parti-
cles in the formulation. InvoMatic can operate with a
mixing speed from 0 to 100 RPM, and a mixing time
from 0 to 99 minutes, creating multiple combinations
to it the formulation properties. The velcro attached to
the mixing arm is capable of holding vessels from 30
mL to 1.000 mL (average). The vessels can be dispos-
able, with no need for extra cleaning after the mixing
process. InvoMatic is suitable for the complete mix of
solids, liquids, homeopathic preparations, and impreg-
nation of globules and granules.

the formulation characteristics, achieving easy and eicient reproducibility.
