Vortec
In 1961, Vortec became the first company to develop technology for converting the vortex tube phenomenon into practical, effective industrial cooling solutions. Since then, Vortec has continued to refine and expand vortex tube applications, as well as develop air amplification products for more efficient use of compressed air in cleaning and conveying applications. In 1990, Vortec was purchased by Illinois Tool Works, a Fortune 200 company; and is now part of the ITW Air Management business unit, which, in addition to Vortec products, offers the Paxton Product line of products for drying and blow off.

The Dual Force Vac System is a convenient and versatile solution for liquid material handling and spill clean up. Using powerful Transvector technology, the Dual Force Vac Drum Pump can either fill or discharge a 55 gallon drum in under two minutes. It switches easily -- with a 1/4 turn of a knob -- from fill to discharge mode. And the Dual Force Vac can handle viscous liquids and particulates. Quiet and safe, the Dual Force Vac is air-powered with no moving parts, meaning no motor burn out and no shock hazard. It quickly installs on a 55 gallon drum and comes with a 10 foot hose and nozzle. An optional aluminum wand and squeegee are available to facilitate spill pick up.
