PRODUCTS

 

Following is a sampling of Vortox Air Technology’s product line. For more information on any of these products, please visit www.vortox.com.

– Breather Caps are rugged, durable, and suitable for the harshest environments. They feature all-steel construction; resistance-welded joints; choice of polyurethane foam, woven galvanized steel mesh, or woven stainless steel mesh interior; and baked polyester powder coat finish.

– Liquid Samplers come as standard Liquid Samplers and In-the-Pipe Samplers, with a variety of accessories available.

• Liquid Samplers are precision instruments for capture-grabbing and composite sampling. Easy to install, use, and maintain, they are available in standard 316L stainless steel or Teflon®-coated 316L stainless steel on internal surfaces where the effluent is captured.
• In-the-Pipe Samplers use a two-ball valve assembly to collect liquid samples. An external upper ball rests on an intake orifice until liquid causes it to float. A lowerball then floats and seals the bottom of the orifice.
• Accessories include Grate Assemblies, Sump Assemblies, Eye Bolts and Cables, Sump Assembly Lids, Plug Assemblies, and Teflon® Coating.

– Separators use coalescing media to filter oil and dirt out of air, or water out of fuel. Lined with self-washing Vortox filter elements, the customizable separators are vertical mounting and have electrogalvanized-coated, cold-rolled carbon steel construction with black baked polyester coat finish.

– Air Cleaners are manufactured in both standard and new Low Profile styles. Truck Blower Air Cleaners, Alternate Fuel Air Cleaners, Oil Bath Air Cleaners, Dry Air Cleaners,
and Marine Air Cleaners are also available.

• Truck Air Cleaners use Vortox filter elements to keep truck engines running cleaner longer with their rugged and durable all-T304 stainless steel construction, large dirt-holding capacity, and Vortox-pioneered integrated Inlet Cap design. They’re offered in 13-inch and 15-inch models and are fully customizable.
• Low Profile Air Cleaners have shortened screens and studs to put a stylish accent on the rugged, reliable Truck Air Cleaner of choice for truckers around the world.
• Truck Blower Air Cleaners are engineered for longer service life with 99.97% filtration efficiency. Tested to SAE J726C standards, they are available in T304 stainless steel or electrogalvanized-coated carbon steel.
• Alternate Fuel Air Cleaners are used on machines that rely on propane or compressed natural gas as a fuel source. Easy to service and constructed of rugged carbon steel finished in a black baked polyester coating, they have a higher air flow than diesel engine air cleaners.
• Oil Bath Air Cleaners feature self-washing filter elements, large dust-holding capacity, vertical mounting capability, carbon steel construction, and a large variety of sizes.
• Dry Air Cleaners protect engines using advanced filter paper technology to provide up to 99.99% efficiency and are available in single-stage or multistage configurations for the harshest environments.
• Marine Air Cleaners keep engines clean in moist environments where continuous exposure to dust is not a concern. They reduce noise and filter debris before it reaches the engine. They don’t rust and are completely washable.

ACCESSORIES

 

Following is a sampling of the accessories available for Vortox Air Technology’s products. For more information on any of these accessories, please visit www.vortox.com.

– Filter Elements come tapered with metal ends and gaskets on both ends, with metal end plates and gaskets on the open end, with plastisol ends, with metal end plates that are open on both ends with gaskets on both, and in marine and monel styles.
– Precleaners are most often used in extremely dusty environments to reduce the dust load, extend periods between servicing, and lengthen the life of filter elements.
– Band Brackets, made of stainless or carbon steel, are primarily used for mounting purposes, typically to mount Vortox air cleaners. Current sizes are 5 to 18 inches, but smaller or larger sizes can be created. Stainless steel brackets are finished in a number 7 buff. Carbon steel brackets can be finished in a black powder coat or left unpainted for customizing.
– Inlet Caps are an essential component in the protection of filter elements used in both dry and oil wash air cleaners, functioning as a prefiltering mechanism and water shield.
– Elbows for the Truck Blower Air Cleaner comply with the increased expectations of modern truck blowers, which require higher vacuum intake pressure, without collapsing.
– Truck Blower Accessory Kit, for connecting the Air Cleaner to the Blower, contains a stainless steel tube, two hump hoses, and four stainless steel hose clamps.
– Screen Shortening Kit for the Truck Air Cleaner includes everything needed to create the sleek look of Vortox’s Low Profile Truck Air Cleaners without voiding the warranty.
