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.

Keeping your electrical enclosures cool, clean, and protected is an imperative maintenance task to ensure your enclosures maintain their operational effectiveness and to avoid unplanned downtime in your manufacturing plant. A common low-cost cooling alternative is to use compressed air with vortex tube coolers to maintain a low internal temperature in enclosures...

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!

With temperatures beginning to rise as we get closer to summer, it is important to make sure your employees are protected from heat-related illness in hot work environments. Personal cooling products can largely help in minimizing heat stress and fatigue. To keep employees comfortable, safe, and productive, employers turn to the newly designed Vortec Cooling Vests.  

Thermal testing has proven that natural convection cooling is not adequate for today’s smaller, high power density enclosures. Heat dissipation by forced convection (fan cooling) is the most frequently used method of cooling. Forced air-cooling systems can provide heat transfer rates that are ten times greater than those achievable with natural convection and radiation, but even this is not adequate to cool faster electronic components when they are located in hostile plant environments.

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.

Operating at maximum production efficiency is a goal many manufacturers strive for. Whether you are a new operation or you have been around for decades, you should always be on the lookout for new ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Below are five ways you can implement air solutions to improve your overall plant productivity.

All manufacturing facilities have downtime, the time when a machine or production line is not creating any output.  The goal is to minimize the unplanned downtime, while maximizing the efficiency of the planned downtime.  Let’s take a look at each type of downtime.
