VORTEXPROM has been developing and manufacturing vortex layer apparatuses since 2001. We are one of the few companies that has serial implementation of this equipment in the real sector of industry.
The working chamber of the apparatus is a stator (inductor), in the working area of which ferromagnetic particles are placed, they are driven by an alternating magnetic field and form a so-called "vortex layer".
One of the main characteristics of any equipment is performance. For this type of equipment, performance is affected by 3 main installation parameters:
1. Diameter of the working area of the inductor. VORTEXPROM company serially produces apparatuses with an internal core diameter of 91 mm, 154 mm, 180 mm. The 180 mm is the largest diameter of the installation nowadays, which are mass-produced in world practice, and our company is the only manufacturer.
2. The length of the working area of the inductor. For a diameter of 91 mm, we produce a working area length of 330 mm. For a diameter of 154 mm, we produce a working chamber length of 150 mm, which is an analogue of the ABC-150 device. For a diameter of 180 mm, we produce a working area length of 285 mm.
3. The magnetic induction force in the working area of the installation. The following characteristic is measured: the RMS value of the alternating magnetic field. On VORTEXPROM devices, this value is up to 0.3 T.
Ferromagnetic particles are located in the working area of the apparatus, these particles can be of any shape and size. Cylindrical shapes or balls are most often used. Cylinders with a diameter from 0.5 mm to 8 mm with a length from 5 to 80 mm, balls with a diameter from 0.5 mm to 10 mm. The particles can be made of various alloys, both soft and hard.
The selection of sizes, shapes, materials and the number of working bodies depends on the technology involved. The cartridge for the working chamber of the installation can be made of various materials and designed for the specifics of the processed raw materials.
Vortex layer apparatuses can be effectively used in the following areas:
- для очистки промышленных сточных вод от тяжелых металлов, фенола, формальдегида, мышьяка, цианидов и других вредных веществ;
- for compounding emulsions and suspensions;
- for fine grinding of various substances, including in liquids;
- for the activation of substances both in dry and dissolved form;
- to accelerate the heat treatment reaction;
- intensification of extraction of pectin, juice and other substances;
- disinfection of wastewater from microorganisms;
- for water treatment;
- for magnetic processing;
- to activate materials.
Vortex layer apparatuses can replace, and often surpass in their characteristics and efficiency:
- bead mills;
- colloidal mills;
- mixers;
- extractors;
- disintegrators;
- cavitators.

The main advantages of this technology:
1. Energy efficiency of the process. Electromagnetic energy is immediately transferred to the material through the details. Usually mixing devices transmit electromagnetic energy to the rotor of an electric motor, which in turn drives the mechanisms, at each section of energy transmission there are large losses in energy efficiency;
2. The material is affected by a large complex of physico-chemical processes, the main ones are: hydrodynamic cavitation, acoustic cavitation, magnetostriction, friction and collision, local temperature and pressure rise, the effect of a strong magnetic field, mechanical grinding and mixing;
3. The ability to mix substances in a stream;
4. Ultra-fine grinding.
This technology has its drawbacks, but many of them can be eliminated.
Main disadvantages:
1. Removal of the details from the working area of the reactor of the installation (solved by the installation of limiting grids, labyrinths, pistons with magnets that return the details to the working area of the apparatus, vertical type apparatus designs are made);
2. Complex selection of details to solve a particular problem (solved experimentally, should rely on the experience gained);
3. Selection of the operating modes of the installation to minimize the wear of the detailss (solved experimentally, it is necessary to base on the experience gained);
4. The purity of the final product (solved by the installation of magnetic and other filters, the manufacture of cartridges with inserts of polymer materials, the use of the most durable metals in the manufacture of details).
