Leaders in the domestic market since 2017, committed to innovation and quality: a solid track record of over 50 years as manufacturers specialized in mixing and agitation technology.
Our equipment solves solid-liquid, liquid-liquid and gas-liquid mixing processes:
Agitators: Designed to guarantee perfect homogeneity in all types of processes, from low to high viscosities, adapting to the specific needs of each industrial application.
In-line mixers: Dynamic continuous mixing solutions that optimize process times and ensure homogeneous integration of components in constant production flows.
Helical pumps: Efficient pumping technology, we manufacture the Piton® brand in industrial and sanitary series.
Mixing machines: Complete and integrated equipment for complex mixing processes, designed to maximize efficiency and reproducibility in industrial production.
Our facilities of 3,500 m² integrate the factory, offices and a test center dedicated to carrying out tests for our customers. In addition, we have an industrial-scale platform with 1,500 and 25,000-liter tanks, our own calculation software (SMARTVAK-VAKCAL) and the use of advanced fluid dynamics simulation tools (ANSYS).
VK is synonymous with process and product guarantee.
Experience, technology and passion for mixing.

Manufacturing of body lotions, shampoos and personal care products Blending of juices or concentrates. Mix of fats and chocolate. Mix of biodiesel with diesel LAURILVAK (LESS): Dilution of sodium LESS from 70 to 27%. The concentrate can be introduced straight from a tanker truck. Production LESS 27% from 10 to 40 m³/h. Saving on transport and purchase price of raw material.
TAS/TSS
VK Technical Service & Maintenance Programs At Vak Kimsa, Technical Service is as important as the Product. We offer Technical Service and Assistance. Maintenance reduces the costs of unplanned downtime, optimizes machine performance, and extends its service life. Our TSS service is at your disposal to handle your repairs, assemblies, commissioning, maintenance and everything you need to make your work life easier. Maintenance of all the agitators in your factory, from VK and otherbrands. The three VK services: 1. Technical Assistance: agitator installation, assembly and replacement of mechanical seals, commissioning, corrective maintenance (scheduled repair and breakdown). 2. Preventive Maintenance: General equipment inspection, vibration measurement, bearing diagnostics, sound check, thermography, oil level check, on-site visits to the factory, and inspection report. 3. Technical Support: QR code manuals for the machine, recommended spare parts, equipment upgradings, TSS inquiries and maintenance recommendations. Ansys simulations for structural resistance calculations of tanks. Circular economy with machine recycling.
TEST CENTER
VAK KIMSA has a test center for conducting trials with our clients' products directly at our facilities. We provide various agitation and in-line mixing equipment with tanks of 15l, 50l, 80l, 150l, 1,500l and 25,000l, enabling empirical validation of a wide range of processes. The pilot plant is equipped with a viscometer and data acquisition system to analyze product rheology and optimize fluid dynamic, mechanical and energy performance of the agitators, ensuring efficient industrial scale-up.

The Importance of Viscosity Data In an Agitation Process
In the design and optimization of industrial processes with agitators, one of the most critical and yet most misunderstood parameters is product viscosity.
Mixing Carbopol or Xanthan Gum
Mixing Xanthan gum? Carbopol? Both at the same time? In the cosmetic industry, thickening agents are as commonplace as they are notoriously difficult to disperse. Depending on the concentrations used, the manufacturing process can become a real headache.
Real confidence before you scale: Pilot Plant
An incorrect selection of the agitator or mixer forces production stoppages and costly redesigns.
Evaluation of Process Efficiency via CFD
The real issue: An operation that seems to work, but conceals critical inefficiencies.
When you want to run mixing trials in a real plant
When a company in the chemical or food sector works with complex formulations, process validation is critical. Lab and pilot-plant trials provide a baseline, but they often don’t capture all real production variables: piping, temperature, pressure, etc.
How smart dilution cuts costs and CO₂
Each year, companies across the personal care and detergency industries lose thousands of euros on something they don’t even realize: transporting water.
Why incorrect agitator installation is critical for your plant
When it comes to keeping industrial equipment in optimal condition, correct machinery installation is fundamental. This principle becomes especially evident when we talk about industrial agitators, which play a key role in production processes.
