VortX EcoFilter Afterburner Alternative - NEW

Smoke and Odor Filter – The unique, proprietary VortX EcoFilter filters the air from your roaster and cooling tray, dramatically reducing emissions of chaff and dust, VOCs and odors, and products of combustion.

VortXs are in use daily on 5 continents, improving the overall roasting experience, making neighbors happy, satisfying clean air requirements & reducing your carbon footprint. VortX: your comprehensive, inexpensive pollution solution.

The EcoFilter uses the energy of a cyclone plus the power of atomized water to remove particulates from exhaust air, muting odors and reducing visible smoke up to 80%.

The self-cleaning system recycles its water and requires less than 5 minutes of daily maintenance.

The VortX EcoFilter comes in 2 models: the 450 EcoFilter & 800 EcoFilter. The difference in choice has to do with your Roaster’s airflow CFM and ducting. Please give us a call to determine the right model for your Roaster application.

HOW IT WORKS

The EcoFilter is based on a high-efficiency cyclone designed to remove particulates well below 10-micron cut size. This cyclonic action is enhanced by instantly cooling the incoming air, causing the VOCs and products of combustion to condense from vapor to liquid where they are entrained along with the particulates in water and flushed out the bottom of the cyclone. The water is filtered and recycled. One glance at the stack temp confirms that the unit is operating correctly.
