DUST / PARTICULATE EXTRACTION APPARATUS
‘VORTAX’
A novel device has been developed
to remove dust, soot and similar particle-based material from gas flows.
| Features:
· No filters
· No cyclones
· No moving parts
· Low pressure drop
· Very simple construction
· 'Through-flow'
· Effective for particles, including spores, down to
below 5µm
· All collected material retained in a separate container
for easy disposal

The system utilises a patented,
dual vortex, principle, to remove particles from the gas stream and deposit
the collected material in a separate container. The apparatus has three
ports: inlet, exhaust and a connection to a sealed particle collection chamber.
It may also be mounted in any orientation.
There are no moving parts,
all motion being effected by the gas stream. Particles, including spores
and pollen, in sizes down to below 5µm can be collected at overall
efficiency rates in excess of 95%. No cyclones, filters or other related
materials are used. Increasing gas velocity increases collection efficiency
whilst maintaining a very low pressure drop across the unit (typically
1¼" w.g.). Higher collection efficiencies can be achieved at the
expense of slightly increased back-pressure.
It is compact, simple to construct
and requires no additional external equipment to operate. The unit is
ideally suited for use in vacuum systems, as a pre-filter to extend the
life of downstream filters or in exhaust systems to remove pollution particulates.
A higher performance version
called the 'Vortac' has also been developed.
