VORTEX / GENERATION 2
The VORTEX picks up liquids, sludges and suitable free-flowing dry materials. Its vacuum pump draws the material through a hose into the stainless-steel tank. Configure the VORTEX to suit your material and operating conditions.

01 / THREE FUNCTIONS
From intake to targeted emptying: what matters is what your material requires.
01 / INTAKE
The VORTEX uses vacuum to draw suitable wet and dry materials through the hose into the stainless-steel tank. We match the vacuum pump, filters and hose routing to the material.
02 / CONVEYING
The standard Venturi system blows suitable free-flowing dry materials, such as roof gravel and green roof substrate, from the tank to the work area. An integrated cyclone separator is available for specialist applications.
03 / EMPTYING
Pressure helps discharge liquids and sludges from the tank at up to 1 bar as standard, or up to 2 bar with an optional compressor, within permitted operating conditions. Valves allow manual adjustment of airflow.
02 / THE HEART OF THE MACHINE
The Roots vacuum pump generates the suction. We match the pump configuration to the material and task. Depending on the configuration, the VORTEX reaches up to 0.95 bar vacuum.
9,000 m³/h · one pump · standard
11,000 m³/h · one pump · optional
Up to 18,000 m³/h · two pumps combined · optional
Airflow depends on the pump configuration. Actual conveying performance depends on the material, hose routing and equipment.
03 / INDUSTRIAL CLEANING
Use wet or dry suction to remove water, sediment and suitable residues from tanks, silos and industrial plants.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE
We match the filters and hose system to the material and operating environment. Where combustible dust is present, we account for the required explosion protection.

SIR
Separate equipment package aligned with the guidelines of the Stichting Industriële Reiniging
ATEX
Explosion protection matched to the specific configuration and its documented scope of use
ADR
Optional configuration without a suction boom for collecting and transporting approved dangerous goods by road
We confirm tank capacity, payload and equipment for the chosen chassis and application. Permitted discharge pressure depends on the material, vehicle configuration and operating conditions. For suitable free-flowing dry materials, achievable distance and elevation depend on the material, hose routing and equipment. Each maximum applies separately.
06 / SAFETY
A separate equipment package follows the guidelines of the Stichting Industriële Reiniging. We tailor the equipment and operating procedures for safe operation to your requirements.
The configuration depends on the material, environment and documented area of use. The design accounts for the suction point, material handling system and vehicle location.
The optional ADR configuration is available only without a suction boom. It allows collection and road transport of approved dangerous goods. Approved substances, vehicle configuration and permitted operating conditions determine its use.
