    Vorex Filter Cartridge

    The Vorex Advantage
    This new and improved Vorex Filter Cartridge is designed for higher efficiency and fewer change-outs. The extensive research invested in the development of this filter has resulted in a superior filter cartridge that works better and lasts longer. The exclusive manufacturing process thermally bonds pure polypropylene microfibers. Lower density fibers are at the surface and sequentially higher density fibers are used toward the center, therefore particles are trapped more evenly throughout the entire cross section. The Vorex is a nominally rated filter that works well as either a pre-filter or final filter in a wide range of applications including industrial, chemical process, food/beverage, cosmetics and water applications. Meets FDA requirements.

    • Greater dirt holding - longer life

    • Fewer filter change-outs

    • No fiber migration

    • 100% polypropylene

    • High flow rates with lower pressure drops

    • Easy disposal (incinerates to non-volatile trace ash)

    • Supports a wide range of industrial and chemical applications

    • Very competitive economical pricing


    The Vorex HP Filter Cartridge

    The all new Vorex HP cartridge provides superior flow, increased dirt holding capacity is manufactured with 100 percent polypropylene microfibers and core. The innovative core provides stability, which allows for the use of very fine microfibers to greatly improve the filtration efficiency. The microfibers vary in thickness throughout the depth of the cartridge to attain an optimal gradient density with a much larger void area. The benefit is substantially longer on-stream life, increased dirt holding, and a lower pressure drop. The new Vorex HP cartridge delivers a highly cost effective filtration solution.

    Vorex HP Benefits

    • Premium performance for the cost of lower rated cartridges

    • Absolute rated - 99 percent efficient

    • Up to twice the dirt holding capacity for longer life

    • Low pressure drop - save energy

    FSI Vorex Microfiber Cartridge Filter
    FSI is pleased to introduce its newest microfiber cartridge. Attached is the Print Advertisement for this new FSI cartridge -- we have been referring to as an "MFX" cartridge. The cartridge has now been named the Vorex. The Vorex is the newest FSI microfiber cartridge and will replace our current line of standard Polymicro cartridges (CMMF cartridges). The improvement that FSI is offering its customers with the Vorex is that it lasts at least 3-4 times as long as the FSI Polymicro cartridge and as the competitors' cartridge. In addition, the Vorex is manufactured with a singed finish to prevent loose fibers. There is no noticeable difference in the appearance of the Vorex (other than singed finish) or in the filtration efficiency. The only difference is in its dirt holding capacity -- larger void volume. Beginning April 1, the new Vorex will be available and ready for shipping. Call today for more details.

    Contaminent-Free Finishing

    ITW Binks and DeVilbiss have developed equipment options that offer significantly higher levels of contaminant-free finishing.

    ITW DeVilbiss Clean Air product lines provide the fine finishing necessary for delicate finishing applications, where high solids and waterbornes are extremely sensitive to contaminants.  According to the company, the Clean Air products remove contaminants from the system down to microscopic levels, ensuring a quality finish for even the most sensitive of applications.  By filtering out airborne contaminants and excess moisture, the products can extend the life of air-operated tools and provide the best finishing possible for a variety of industrial applications.

     

    The ITW Binks line of high efficiency spray booth air filters (AF HE) provide "two-in-one" performance, with a backing behind two layers to absorb 99.81% of all errant spray emitted.  This compares with standard filter efficiency of only 98.1% and offers significant cost savings and a cleaner environment.  Initial testing has shown that the Binks AF HE Filters can potentially save finishers hundreds of thousands of dollars per year due to dramatically reduced number of spray booth filter changes.

    Columbus Industries Introduces High-Capacity Filters

    High Capacity and High Capacity Supra II filters from Columbus Industries are designed to withstand the rigors of glue or adhesive applications.  Constructed of layers of slit and expanded kraft paper, these filters have an open face-ply backed with several graduated density layers, which allows for greater depth loading and holding capacity while maintaining high arrestance efficiency.  The depth loading characteristics can prevent the "blinding off" that often occurs in other filter media and can therefore extend the service life of the filter to reduce overall booth operating costs.

     

    ITW Gema OptiControl™

    The new OptiControl PC Based Control System from ITW Gema automates powder application equipment, helping users to coat it right the first time - every time!

    OptiControl maximizes the accuracy, efficiency, and economy of automated powder coating systems to provide consistent, high quality powder coating time after time.  Its easy-to-use graphic interface and user-friendly, color touch-screen, allows one-touch control and at-a-glance monitoring of all systems and operations.  Control of all application parameters are right at the operator's fingertips and these parameters may be easily recalled for accurate adjustment of powder delivery, current, voltage, gun movement and other settings.

    PC based technology means that OptiControl provides easy set-up and adjustments, requiring minimal training and experience.  Plus, OptiControl's software is configured to operate in multiple languages - including Spanish and French!  When it's time to add more powder coating equipment, OptiControl software allows for easy expansion, and operating software and program parameters are stored on a compact flash card for data security and flexibility.

    There's no doubt about it, better powder usage and less equipment wear saves money - and that's what OptiControl provides.  By minimizing overspray, providing more consistent film builds, increasing first-pass transfer efficiency and monitoring process information, OptiControl helps powder coaters to get higher productivity at a lower cost and saves money.

    ITW Ransburg Trans-Tech Technology and the Vector Spray Gun

    ITW Ransburg is pleased to introduce Trans-Tech Spray Technology, which is available for all Vector Spray Guns.  The new technology, is a hybrid atomization system which incorporates the best characteristics of HVLP and traditional air spray into a new, more efficient method of spray finishing, providing better atomization with significantly lower air consumption.

    Trans-Tech uses a specially designed air cap and fluid tip combination to produce a spray pattern, which uses less air than HVLP and produces a finer finish at higher production speeds.  And, it is a compliant atomization system, which means the Trans-Tech atomization can deliver transfer efficiencies of 65%.  The technology, which is new for us, has been widely used in Europe, especially in the Automotive refinish market.

    ITW Ransburg's Trans-Tech atomization offers many advantages when compared to a standard HVLP system

    • Trans-Tech technology uses less air than an HVLP system

    • Trans-Tech has a higher air cap pressure than HVLP, providing superior atomization

    • Trans-Tech technology provides increased production speed compared to an HVLP system
