Machinist Venturi Mixers: Consistency and Quality in Every Mix
Experience a new level of precision with our Machinist Venturi Mixers. Designed for coolant fluid mixing, these mixers create superior emulsions that result in consistently perfect concentration values. That’s not just science – it’s the art of craftsmanship, enhancing your coolant’s sump and tool life while improving machined surfaces. Plus, imagine the savings on your raw material usage.
IMPORTANT: The discharge tube’s maximum length should not exceed 40-inches. The arrow on the top of the unit displays the inbound water line and the exit direction for the discharge hose. Please follow this when connecting the mixer for optimum results or your mixer may not work.
Why Choose Our Machinist Venturi Mixers?
- Separate Water Shut-off Valve: For ultimate control over your mixing process.
- High-Quality Materials: Machined from solid bronze casting with a robust galvanized steel stand pipe.
- Maximum Viscosity: Handles up to 500 SUS with ease.
- 40-Inch Discharge Tube: Just the right length for optimal delivery.
- Versatile Compatibility: Fits drums, pails, or totes.
- Mixer Lockout (#MIXXLOCK): Prevent tampering and ensure the consistency of your mixes.
- Garden Hose Attachment: For added convenience, purchase a mixer swivel accessory (see accessories below).

Proper fluid mixing provides superior emulsions resulting in consistent concentration values. Maintaining consistent concentration values extends sump and tool life while improving machined surfaces. It also provides a savings for raw material usage.

| Part Number | GPM | Low Percent | High Percent | Max Mix Ratio | Range psi | In | Out |
| MIX0327 | 3 | 0 | 7 | 1:15 | 25-75 | 3/8" | 1/2" |
| MIX03725 | 3 | 0 | 25 | 1:4 | 25-75 | 3/8" | 1/2" |
| MIX1027 | 10 | 0 | 7 | 1:15 | 25-75 | 1/2" | 3/4" |
| MIX10725 | 10 | 0 | 25 | 1:4 | 25-75 | 1/2" | 3/4" |
Venturi machinist mixers require a minimum pressure of 25 psi. Additionally, the discharge tube length is limited, as always, to 40-inches (this is the length of supplied discharge tubing.) For situations requiring longer discharge tube lengths , or when plumbing to multiple CNC’s, always use a Proportioning Pump.
TEST METHOD
With a 5-gallon pail marked in gallons, fill the pail to the one gallon mark with the water valve fully opened. If you fill to the 1 gallon mark in 20 seconds there is enough pressure for our 3 gpm unit. If you fill to the 1 gallon mark in 6 seconds there is enough pressure for our 10 gpm unit. Formula: 60 / seconds to fill to one gallon. Example from above: 60 / 20 = 3 gallons per minute.
If you can fill to the 1 gallon mark in:
20 seconds - choose the MIX0327 or MIX03725
6 seconds - choose the MIX1027 or MIX10725 (or either 3-gallon mixer if the coolant viscosity is less than 500SUS.)
In general, use a Proportioning Pump to mix coolants with viscosities greater than 500 SUS. However, the 10gpm MIX10725 has proven up to the challenge in the field (contact us for details).
Note: Machinist mixers may not be compatible with Fuchs ECOCOOL S741 coolant.
Important note: During the hot summer month if your coolant is not store in a temperature control environment, the mixer may not function correctly. Please see our FAQ graphic in the side bar on how to address.
Questions from aerospace and defense shops
Shops adding interceptor, launcher, and housing work ask us how to keep concentration honest when hours go up.
Adding interceptor, launcher, or housing work? Read Fix the sump before the FAIR: the cost math and the four fixes, cheapest first.
Can a mixer keep concentration inside a documented range?
It delivers the same ratio every time at the setting you choose, on the 0 to 7 percent or 0 to 25 percent models. Verify with a refractometer and write it down; the mixer removes the bucket, the log proves it. A lockout is available so nobody changes the setting on third shift.
We mix with DI water. Is there a version for that?
Yes, the MIX0327SS has a stainless steel body for deionized water.
Where is it built?
Solon, Ohio. Normally in stock. For a row of machines, see the proportioning pump instead.
Will it fit, which one, and what does it cost?
Everything a shop needs to pick the right unit and order it today.
Will it fit?
- Water supply: standard shop hose connection; the venturi needs normal city water pressure to pull concentrate
- Concentrate: any water-soluble coolant, synthetic, semi-synthetic or soluble oil; draws straight from the drum through the pickup tube
- Output: hose to a bucket, a sump or a plumbed line; 3 gpm fills a 50 gallon sump in about 17 minutes, 10 gpm in about 5
- No electricity and no moving parts
- Concentration is set once on the dial and stays there; check it with a refractometer the first time
Which model?
| Your shop | Pick | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Filling buckets or one sump at a time, coolant run at 3 to 7 percent | MIX0327: 3 gpm, 0 to 7 percent | $434 |
| Same flow, but you run rich mixes or grinding fluids up to 25 percent | MIX03725: 3 gpm, 0 to 25 percent | $468 |
| Filling large sumps or several machines; you want 10 gallons a minute | MIX1027: 10 gpm, 0 to 7 percent | $598 |
| 10 gpm and rich mixes up to 25 percent | MIX10725: 10 gpm, 0 to 25 percent | $636 |
| DI or RO water, or corrosive concentrate: stainless body | MIX0327SS: 3 gpm, 0 to 7 percent, stainless | $628 |
Price, delivery, warranty
- Delivery: 3 gpm models ship in 5 business days from Ohio; 10 gpm models in 1
- Made in: Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Questions shops ask before they order
How accurate is the mix?
Set the dial, run a bucket, check with a refractometer, adjust once. From then on every fill comes out the same.
Venturi mixer or proportioning pump?
The venturi mixer is for filling at the machine or by the bucket. The proportioning pump is for a central system that plumbs mixed coolant to every sump in the shop.
Will it work with low water pressure?
It needs normal shop water pressure to draw concentrate. If your supply is weak or you need coolant across the shop, the water-powered proportioning pump is the answer.
How much concentrate do I need?
Use the coolant calculator linked above: tank size, target concentration, and it tells you gallons of concentrate and water for a new fill or a top-off.
