Vortex Tubes

Vortex Tubes are an effective, low cost solution to a wide variety of industrial spot and process cooling needs. With no moving parts, a vortex tube spins compressed air to separate the air into cold and hot air streams. While French physicist Georges Ranque is credited with inventing the vortex tube in 1930, ITW Vortec was the first company to develop and apply this phenomenon into practical and effective cooling solutions for industrial use.

Vortex Cooler Enclosure Coolers

Vortex Coolers are an affordable, low maintenance, and easy to install alternative for thermal management of electrical cabinets and control panels.

Using filtered compressed air and vortex tube technology, Vortex Coolers provide cooling capacities to 5000 BTUH and maintain NEMA 4, 4X and 12 ratings.

Cold Air Guns

Cold Air Guns use filtered compressed air (80-100 PSIG) and vortex tube technology to produce sub-zero air for industrial spot cooling. Cold air machining eliminates mist coolants and heat-related parts growth while improving tool life, parts tolerance and surface finish quality.

Micro Lubrication Cold Air Gun

When you require extra cooling in your micro-lubrication application, ITW Vortec now has the solution with its Micro-Lube Cold Air Gun, Model 606MLBSP.

Round Transvectors

Round Transvectors are ideal for conveying any material that can be moved in an airflow and for removing fumes and scrap. Since air amplifiers move large volumes of air using only a small amount of compressed air, they are economical to operate.

Curtain Transvectors

Curtain Transvector Air Knives efficiently blowoff wide surfaces of debris as well as provide high speed drying for a broad range of industrial applications.

Ionizing Curtain Transvector

Curtain Transvector Air Knives efficiently blowoff wide surfaces of debris as well as provide high speed drying for a broad range of industrial applications. Ionizing Curtain Transvectors add a Static Neutralizing Bar to kill static cling and discharge dust and particles for blowoff.

Blower Driven Airknife

By using blowers in stead of compressed air, the Blower Driven Airknife can reduce operational costs by 60% to 90%.

Blower Driven Airknife for Drying Bottles

By using blowers in stead of compressed air, the Blower Driven Airknife can reduce operational costs by 60% to 90%.

Energy Saving Nozzles and Jets

ITW Vortec's patented blowoff nozzles and jets are all designed to substantially reduce compressed air consumption, compared to open jets. Using an air amplification principle, the design allows air to accelerate, entraining free surrounding air as it exits. The result is a powerful and precise airflow that consumes less compressed air and saves energy costs.
