Press Release: Vortox Air Technology’s Oil Bath Air Cleaners Excel As Precleaners

October 22, 2015October 21, 2015 by RCS Webmaster

Press release date: October 21, 2015

Vortox Air Technology, Inc.
121 South Indian Hill Boulevard
Claremont, CA 91711
USA

Claremont, CA – Vortox Air Technology, Inc., an American manufacturer of innovative solutions to many industries’ air filtration needs, reminds consumers that its oil bath air cleaners make excellent precleaners when used in conjunction with another air cleaner.

With an oil bath air cleaner as a first line of defense, followed by a second air cleaner – usually a dry air cleaner – engines are better protected from dirt and contaminants that can cause breakage, downtime, and other problems. Using the oil bath as a precleaner also extends the life of the primary air cleaner because so much of the dirt is caught before reaching it.

This method, which doesn’t void existing warranties, results in less downtime for maintenance since the paper filters don’t have to be changed as often and fewer paper filters need to be purchased.

Oil bath air cleaners function so well as precleaners because they are highly efficient and are able to process large amounts of dirt much better than dry air cleaners. And since the only necessary servicing is a generic oil change, they require much less maintenance.

Sizes from 75-1500 CFM are available. All Vortox oil bath air cleaners attain 90% efficiency at only 20% CFM capacity, and they come in a variety of styles for all applications.

Oil bath air cleaner 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 99.99% efficiency and are available in single-stage or multistage configurations for the harshest environments.

Construction of G and GA Oil Bath Air Cleaners

December 10, 2014 by RCS Webmaster

Posted: December 10th, 2014

G GA Air Flow

The G and GA styles of Oil Bath Air Cleaners are very similar in design because they are engineered for use on large applications. They are composed of four elements: the Body Assembly, the Prefilter, the Disc, and the Cup.

The Body Assembly houses the Vortox Air Technology filter element, which is made of finely coiled interlocking steel wire and will sustain the life of the product.

The continuous circulation of oil throughout the air cleaner on a controlled basis from low to high air velocity creates a large holding capacity.

The Prefilter catches chaff, lint, and large dirt particles before it reaches the main filter and deflects the heavier dirt and oil into the Oil Cup. The Prefilter is easily removable for quick servicing.

The Disc controls the proper measuring and dispersion of oil from the Cup.

The Cup serves as an oil and dirt reservoir, which should be emptied when the oil thickens to the consistency of SAE 60 oil at 70 degrees Fahrenheit or when the Cup is 1/4 filled with dirt.

Please note: An Oil Bath Air Cleaner will last as long as it is serviced properly. Environments producing extreme amounts of dust will need to service air cleaners more frequently. For servicing instructions, please refer to the “Service Instructions” folder located in the Literature section.

Construction of S/SA Oil Bath Air Cleaners

December 9, 2014 by RCS Webmaster

Posted: December 9th, 2014

Vortox Air Technology, Inc.’s S and SA style Oil Bath Air Cleaners are compact and light weight but still clean extremely well and require less space for mounting.

HOW IS IT MADE?

S and SA styles of Oil Bath Air Cleaners are made with three main units: the Body Assembly, the Vortex Chamber, and the Cup.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The air flowing through the Air Cleaner is first centrifugated by the Vortex Chamber to remove the heavier dust particles. The air then flows into the filter element, carrying with it oil from the oil reservoir, or the Cup. The dust remaining suspended in the air, with the oil picked up from the Cup, impinges upon the filter surfaces. The cleaned air passes on through the filter, and the dust laden oil drains back to the reservoir. Clean oil is displaced from below the Disc and the cycle is continued. The circulation of oil is both rapid and continuous.
