The VortX EcoFilter™ significantly reduces smoke and odour from any roaster. With installations across Australia and New Zealand, the EcoFilter has been recognised as the leading green alternative to an afterburner. The system increases the safety of roasting, features low operating costs and is easy to set up and maintain.
The EcoFilter combines the energy of a high efficiency cyclone and the power of atomised water to remove chaff and dust below ten micron and dramatically reduce the smoke, odour and CO2 from coffee roasting exhaust. This process supports Australia’s national mission for clean air and a reduced impact on the environment.
The EcoFilter was recently recognised by the New Zealand Government’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority as the preferred solution for mitigating smoke and odour from coffee roasting. Syft Technologies of Christchurch, New Zealand, studied stack emissions from the EcoFilter and found the overall reduction of VOCs to be greater than 80 per cent.
