A simple solution to help you manage surface cleaning.  Our patented technology delivers more air, using less compressed air and less noise.  

             Air Nozzles

Vortec engineered blow-off nozzles significantly reduce compressed air consumption and noise, compared to open nozzle jets. Using proven amplification technology, Vortec nozzles entrain and accelerate free surrounding air, resulting in air flow volume up to 25 times more than the volume of compressed air, giving 25 times the blow-off capability at a significantly reduced energy usage and lower operating cost. And while reducing air consumption, Vortec nozzles also reduce noise levels by as much as 60%.

             Air Flow Amplifiers

Air Flow Amplifiers deliver a large airflow for conveying, drying, cooling or ventilation. These high flow, bladeless blowers have no moving parts so they are inherently safe. They amplify compressed air volumes by 12 – 20 fold in ducted applications and up to 60 fold in unducted applications. They are especially useful for removing metal chips and scrap, ventilating fumes or smoke, and conveying small parts, pellets, powders and dust.

             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 25 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 compared to open jets, copper tubes, and iron or steel pipes without an engineered nozzle. 

            Compressed Air Knives

Air Knives amplified a small amount of filtered compressed air to deliver a powerful, high velocity, laminar sheet of air over wide areas such s moving webs, film, sheets, strips, and other large assemblies and objects. Vortec's patented design produces increased thrust and velocity, reduced noise, and excellent uniformity. 

The Vortec Advantage

Vortec Air Knives use a small amount of filtered compressed air to deliver powerful blow-off and cleaning solutions. Vortec provides a number of compressed air solutions that are built to maintain efficiency and safety while promoting accelerated production times. We have perfected our designs to provide quick, reliable solutions for your unique applications.

Our History

As the first company to develop technology for converting the vortex tube phenomenon into effective industrial cooling applications, ITW Vortec prides itself on providing the best innovative compressed air solutions in the industry.

Since 1961 we have continued to refine and expand vortex tube applications and develop air amplification products.  Purchased by Illinois Tool Works in 1990, Vortec is housed the under the ITW Air Management business unit and works alongside Paxton Products to design quality engineered air systems.

Our Air Knives are back by an industry-leading 10-year warranty.
