Earlier this month, Vortec joined hundreds of other exhibitors in Chicago to showcase our innovative solutions for the manufacturing industry. Vortec showcased our advanced cold air cooling solutions alongside a diverse array of other manufacturing exhibitors, proving the need for innovative cooling technology amongst modern manufacturing processes.

In today's increasingly globalized and regulated industrial environments, ensuring the safety and reliability of equipment is extremely important. This is especially true in environments with explosive atmospheres, such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and mining operations. One of the compliance standards that addresses these concerns is IECEX certification.

In the weeks leading up to the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) this September, manufacturers from around the globe are preparing to travel to Chicago, IL to share and discover the latest innovations and technologies to advance traditional manufacturing practices. For the first time in decades, Vortec, an ITW company, will be exhibiting their compressed air cooling technology in a tradeshow format.

Navigating the world of electrical safety in hazardous environments can be complex. Among the key standards to understand are "Class I Division 1" and the groups categorized under it—Groups A, B, C, and D. These classifications play a critical role in ensuring that workplaces, especially those in industries dealing with flammable gases or vapors, maintain a high level of safety by using appropriately rated electrical equipment.

Vortec co-exhibited products for the Plastics Industry in the Pillar Technologies booth in the West Hall. The Pillar Technologies booth showcased their corona surface treater that promote adhesion to surfaces when printing, coating, or laminating for the plastics industry. While Vortec showcased some of our cooling technology that is essential in the Plastics Industry. ​
