What Só Hélices does
Só Hélices (legal entity Só Comercio de Equipamentos para Inteligência em Mistura Ltda.) is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial mixers, agitators, and specialized impellers headquartered in São Paulo, with a second showroom in Rio de Janeiro. Founded in 2020, the company designs and produces a portfolio of approximately 50 mixer models spanning laboratory scale (20 ml, magnetic and vortex stirrers) through industrial scale (50,000 liter capacity mechanical agitators), using generative AI modules combined with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations during the product design phase to optimize impeller geometry and fluid dynamics. The portfolio is organized into the S-WORKS and P-MAX mechanical agitator lines, the LaborMax magnetic stirrer line, and a broad range of specialty impellers (Naval, Centrífuga, Cowles, Defloculadora, Rushton, Pitch Blade, anchor, ARA, Orbicullar, DynaFlow, Blend-Mix) targeted at cosmetics, chemicals, paints, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and construction applications.
The business operates a hybrid sales model combining physical showrooms where customers can test equipment before purchase, a dedicated e-commerce storefront at g3misturadores.com.br, and WhatsApp-driven direct sales supported by an in-house engineering team that provides technical dimensioning and equipment selection consulting. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of mixers, agitators, and replacement propellers, supplemented by technical consulting services and a 2-year warranty on mechanical agitators. The company claims 4,850+ customers across 16 countries, 850+ million liters mixed cumulatively using its equipment, and brand positioning as the best-selling mechanical agitator in the Mercosur region. Named enterprise customers include Avon, WEG, 3M, AkzoNobel, Yara, IFF, Duratex, and Quaker, alongside mid-market manufacturers across diverse verticals. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds and operates with approximately 12 employees.
