Vortex Vehicle Depollution & Recycling Equipment
Vehicle Drainage
Catwalk Systems
All of our systems have been developed as a way of lifting the vehicle on to a rack where it has every process done to the vehicle, touching the vehicle only once with the loader or fork lift.
Once in place the full vehicle can be processed at the same time, the fluids recovered from under the vehicle at the same time as the fluids from under the hood, the cat can be cut off and the trash taken out of the vehicle. With the full catwalk systems the wheels can be removed on the rack as well.
Full Service
Auto Parts Systems
Designed for the full service auto parts industry, the are designed to be moved between vehicle lifts to drain all the fluids from under the vehicle and the engine bay before the vehicle is dismantled.
With the correct plumbing system, which we can install, the tools simply plug in to the outlet ports on each leg of the pipework and the onboard pumps move the recovered fluids out of your building to outside storage tanks. One set of tools is normally enough to cover 4 vehicle lifts.
Testimonials
“I can process over 40 cars a day with Vortex and it has revolutionised the way I do business”
D. Williams
"The new rig makes the job of de-polluting ELV's much safer, cleaner and more efficient"
Lee Sands - Site Manager, Sims Metal Management - Wimborne
“Cars can be de-polluted a lot faster with the new Vortex system which allows me more time for removing parts.”
John Leach - ELV Operator, Sims Wimborne
“The new combi system has improved operator productivity by optimising the de-pollution process. One of the ways this has been achieved is by Vortex including all of the tooling on the rig where the operator needs them so minimal time is wasted in tool set up. Having had a combi system in a production environment for the last four months it is noticeable how much more reliable it is compared with other equipment and how it has improved over previous systems, but what is most impressive is how much our operators like using it.”
Rob Taylor - Group ELV Business Manager, Sims Metal Managment
“The Vortex equipment has made it a lot easier for the operators to use and they take pride in looking after it which has helped with reducing maintenance costs.”
Chris Lock - Regional Manager, Sims Metal Management - Avonmouth
“We chose Vortex because of the build quality and because Vortex were willing to work around our previous set up and enhance it tremendously. Mike, Pete and Gordon were very helpful. If we need more de-pollution kit in the future I am sure we will buy Vortex.”
Jim Maguire - Abbey Metal Recycling, Cinderford
