REDUCE OPERATING COSTS BY UP TO 80% WITH VORTEC AIR NOZZLES

Vortec engineered blow off nozzles significantly reduce compressed air consumption and noise, compared to open nozzle jets. Using proven amplification technology, Vortec nozzles entrain and accelerate free surrounding air, resulting in air flow volume up to 25 times more than the volume of compressed air, giving 25 times the blow off capability at a significantly reduced energy usage and lower operating cost. And while reducing air consumption, Vortec nozzles also reduce noise levels by as much as 60%.

Vortec nozzles are available in a full range of designs, materials of construction, sizes and force/thrust levels compatible with most installations; capable of replacing open copper tubes, flex-line, drilled pipe and other nozzles that are not designed to save air. Worker safety standards are met as well, with Vortec's OSHA-approved safety air nozzles that are compliant with OSHA 1910.242(b) dead-end pressure regulations.

Case Studies

Berry Plastics Reduces Compressed Air Usage by 70%
Company Overview Berry Plastics operates over 60 plastic manufacturing plants throughout the US. The Evansville, Indiana based corporation also has facilities in Europe, South America, Asia and Australia. The company’s facility in Hot Springs, Arkansas produces over 13 million plastic bottle caps per day. Major soda manufacturers, as well as some motor oil companies, depend on the 200 employee facility to turn out a high volume of quality products.

The Challenge Targeted air lines play an important role in keeping the Hot Springs facility’s production line moving. As the pallets of plastic resin arrive at the plant and move through production, being shaped, printed and sorted, air lines ensure that the caps continue moving along the conveyor and that they emerge from the molding process in the correct orientation. However, compressed air carries a high price tag and to meet the demands for their plastic caps, the Hot Springs Berry Plastics facility required full-time usage of all of the plant’s air compressors.

Joe Jewell, the plant’s Compression Engineer Manager, recalls that “When we moved into our current location, which became fully operational in January of 2011, our compressed air usage was so high that all of our air compressors were in constant use. This was not an optimum condition because it meant we would have to buy an additional one or rent an extra one in order to do routine maintenance on our existing compressors. Plus compressed air is extremely expensive. So one of our goals was to change that situation so we could conserve compressed air and reduce costs.”

The Solution Jewell had previous positive experience with Vortec air products at another facility. He did some homework online to find the appropriate nozzles for the Hot Springs facility. He then contacted the company about a solution to the compressed air issue at the Hot Springs plant. After Jewell described his concern about excessive use of compressed air, Vortec’s engineers recommended the Vortec model 1202 blow off nozzles as an air-assist device. With the installation of these nozzles Berry Plastics was able to reduce compressed air consumption by 70%. “The Vortec nozzles are saving us $300,000 a year in compressed air costs” says Jewell. “The nozzles paid for themselves in less than a month.”

The Result A year after installing the Vortec nozzles, Jewell says he has already recommended Vortec products to other facilities trying to cut compressed air costs. “Our experience with Vortec and their products has been extremely positive,” he notes.
