Vortex Tube
Meech Air Technology Stainless Steel Vortex Tubes
convert compressed air into two airflows, one extremely
cold and the other extremely hot. Vortex Tubes have
no moving parts and can produce temperatures from -60ºC
to +110ºC and maintain temperatures at +/-0.6ºC.

- Spot cooling
- Weld cooling
- Plastic slitting
- Extrusion cooling
- Foodstuffs cooling

Plastic Slitting
Cutting wheels on this slitter can work at top speed -
and stay sharper longer - when cold air from Vortex Tubes
eliminates the frictional heat build up. Trim edge is cleaner
too.

How a Vortex Tube works:
Compressed air enters the spin chamber tangentially. This
causes the column of air inside the tube to rotate at a very
high speed (up to 1 million rpm). The air at the outside of
the column, moving very fast, has a lot of energy and is hot.
The air at the centre of the column, moving relatively slowly,
has little energy and is cold. The hot outer air, is bled
off at one end of the tube and the cold inner air at the other.
The percentage of the air exiting the cold end is called the
cold fraction and is adjustable by a valve.

Generators:
The generator controls the air consumption of the Vortex
Tube and influences the achievable temperatures. Ten
generator sizes are available, in total offering five
air consumptions - 8, 10, 15, 25 and 35cfm (226, 283,
425, 708 and 991 lpm). For each generator size there
is a high and low cold fraction model.
