Vortox Company

The Vortox Company has been a manufacturer of air cleaning devices since 1918. These are supplied as original equipment on internal combustion engines used in diesel trucks, automobiles and industrial applications.

The federal EPA, state and local regulations have effected industry in many ways. In an effort to comply with mandated storm water permitting, which includes sampling, the Vortox Company explored several alternatives. It became apparent that a simple low cost approach to collect samples was essential.

We then sought the valued opinion of several professionals in the engineering, chemistry and regulatory fields. As a result, after many tests and design changes, the Vortox Storm Water Sampler was developed and a patent application generated.

Vortox philosophy in manufacturing is to design and build products with integrity and simplicity. This product follows in this tradition. We feel this may be the simple low cost solution for which you are looking.
