Both Vortec and our sister brand – Paxton Products – offer air knife solutions for can and bottle drying applications. We understand your solution is as unique as your application, so whether your production line is large or small we have an air knife solution for you.

Air nozzles are an essential tool in many manufacturing processes. They are designed to provide efficient and effective blow off and cooling of parts, saving time, and reducing costs. In this blog post, we will discuss the benefits of air nozzles, including their ability to save time with better blow off capability, provide up to 25 times blow off power, reduce operating costs, reduce noise levels, achieve blow off in tight spaces, better positioning with flexible nozzles, and quickly cool parts in manufacturing processes.

In an effort to reduce energy consumption in the manufacturing industry, Holland Michigan’s Board of Public Works (HBPW) is offering generous incentives for local manufacturers to review their current compressed air usage and make updates that can significantly reduce energy usage and costs. Holland is home to many automobile supply chain manufacturers and other large industrial customers that use substantial amounts of compressed air in their day-to-day operations.

At Vortec we have a wide range of compressed air solutions for your unique manufacturing needs. Take a deeper dive into the different industrial products we offer for a wide range of manufacturing applications!

Corporate sustainability efforts are more important now than ever before. Being aware and proactive in reducing your environmental footprint can not only help the planet, but it can also improve your bottom line. As an industry, we must strive to continuously improve our energy consumption and the impact we have on the world around us.

When considering a solution it is important to look into every stage of the implementation, not just the final result. Often times the solution can be improved upon, or the process can be altered, to improve the final outcome. For this compressed air solution we had the pleasure of working with a manufacturer of industrial valves for numerous chemical companies. They noticed that their cooling time had been increasing over time and their goal of cooling the valve molds in 15 minutes or less, was now closer to 45 minutes.

A major tire manufacturer for the automobile industry, reached out to us with manufacturing troubles. They were having a tough time with white sidewall rubber grinding, which is the white, rubber ring that’s inserted into the tire mold. A thin, black layer of rubber forms over the surface of the ring when the molding is complete. To remove the thin, black layer they use a grinding wheel, but in normal operations the wheel becomes hot, loads up with melted rubber and produces a significant amount of smoke. They were currently using air jets, in an attempt to cool the rubber, but this process failed to cool the rubber fast enough and generated too much noise.
