Ultimate protection with dual magnetic and physical filtration for commercial heating systems.
Harness the power of dual filtration for peak heating performance.
The Sentinel Vortex Max5 and Max10 side-stream filters are designed to offer maximum protection to commercial heating systems. With powerful magnets and a fine mesh filter; the Max5 and Max10 provide excellent protection.
Key features
Powerful Neodymium magnets.
Large capacity collection chamber.
Easy to install and service.
Description
The Vortex Max 5 and 10 are highly efficient system filters for removing magnetic and non-magnetic contamination in heating systems. They contain a fine mesh filter of 1 µ and powerful neodymium magnets. With its magnetic strength of 6 x 12,000 Gauss (Max5) and 11 x 12,000 Gauss (Max10), the Vortex Max filters offer market leading magnetic filtration.
With flow rates of 5m3/h and 10m3/h the Vortex Max filter is ideal for very large heating systems.
The robust stainless-steel housing provides an additional shielding against high magnetic flux strength.
Usage
The Sentinel Vortex Max 5 and 10 are designed for large commercial heating systems.
Ideal for maintaining water quality in both heating and cooling systems.
Tool-free opening and cleaning.
