About Vortec In 1961, ITW Vortec became the first company to develop echnology for converting the t vortex tube phenomenon into practical, effective cooling solutions. Since then, Vortec has continued to refine and expand vortex tube applications as well as develop other ways to use compressed air efficiently. ITW Vortec products - for spot and enclosure cooling, airflow mplification, blowoff and conveying - increase equipment fficiency, improve a e manufacturing methods and liminate more costly methods for cooling and increasing e airflow. All Vortec products are designed to enhance your...

Vortex tubes produce up to 1757 watts of refrigeration and temperatures as low as -40 deg to solve a variety of industrial spot cooling and process cooling needs. With no moving parts, a vortex tube is highly reliable and inexpensive; and requires no electrical connection at the cooling site. Vortex tubes cool instantly, relying on compressed air spinning in the tube to separate the air into cold and hot air streams. Vortex tubes are a compact source of refrigeration and cooling, with models ranging from 160 - 330 mm long and cooling capacities ranging from 29 - 1758 watts. Vortex tube...

The manufacturer of form, fill and seal packaging equipment uses #106-8-H Vortex Tubes to keep sealing bar clamp shield temperatures below 86eC. Excessive damp shield heat would inadvertently melt film adjacent to the seal and cause marred wrap or a defective package. A laboratory uses a #208-15-H Vortex Tube connected to a simple heat exchanger to lower and maintain the water temperature in a cold water bath testing device. One of the largest producers of air conditioning compressors c ools the exterior shell of its units after a baked on painting process with #308 35 H Vortex T...

Cold Air Guns Cold Air Guns use vortex tube technology and filtered compressed air to produce sub-freezing air as low as -34 ºC for numerous industrial spot cooling applications. With no moving parts to wear out, Cold Air Guns require no electricity at the target, just a compressed air source. Cold Air Guns are most often used for cooling of metal parts, in the machining and r epair of metals, plastics, wood, ceramics and other materials. Cold air machining o utperforms mist coolants and substantially increases tool life and feed rates on dry m achining perations. The effective cooling from...

Apparel manufactures have improved cutting speeds by mounting a Cold Air Gun on automated fabric cutler machines. Operators of CNC routers used in industrial woodworking applications use Coid Air Guns to extend tool life, while the low pressure airflow clears sawdust from the cutting area Manufacturers of grinding equipment self or recommend #600 Mini Cold \ir Guns to minimize heat buildup and reduce wheel loading.

Vortec cooling during/after welding Vortec cooling during grinding of rubber hoses

Hot Air Guns are used where milder heat is needed as compared to an electric heat gun. It is ideal for pre-heating of parts, processes and solutions, with an output flow rate of 57-227 slpm; and is also widely used for softening adhesives, rubber and vinyl, and accelerating drying. The hot air gun requires no electricity at the target, and uses only filtered compressed air to generate fully adjustable temperatures up to 93 °C. Applications ^ Pre and post heating of urethane, epoxy & acrylic adhesives and substrates Parts drying after solvent cleaning Heating of parts and films Material...

Spray Nozzles Spray Nozzles provide ultra-fine droplet-sized sprays for evaporative cooling, atomization, humidification and wetting. Superior to conventional hydraulic and piezoelectric nozzles, Spray Nozzles produce spray patterns that can be widely diffused or directed. The liquid stream is entrained by high velocity compressed air to create a range of micron-level spray droplets, resulting in greater surface coverage than conventional nozzles. With this more efficient use of the liquid, Spray Nozzles accelerate air-liquid interaction to give more effective cooling, humidifying, wetting...

Benefits More efficient use of liquid as it is entrained by the compressed air Consistent, effective cooling of surfaces reduces heat distortion of parts 1 El iminates damage to wood and other water sensitive surfaces due to low humidity Provides even coverage when applying coatings, rust inhibitors, lubricants, preservatives, etc. to parts, wood, rubber, plastic, food, and more Reduces noise levels X Speeds testing for humidity effects due to varying humidity levels X High pressure liquid flows are not required Precision flow rates minimize usage of expensive coatings, preservatives, rust...

Air Jets Jets are round-throated air amplifiers: one end provides a strong airflow while the other creates suction as free air is entrained. As the free air is entrained, jets amplify air volume up to 4 times more than the compressed air supplied, resulting in less compressed air usage to deliver the same or greater thrust performance. Jets are designed to reduce compressed air consumption and noise drastically as c ompared to open jets, copper tubes and iron or steel pipes without an engineered nozzle. Perfect for all types of blow off, conveying, cooling and drying applications, jets are...
