Ore-Max Tornado Filter

Ore-Max 900 Series Tornado Filter

The Ore-Max 900 Series Tornado Filter, for gold mines, is an inline, self-cleaning water filter, designed for Well Water and Surface Water Filtration applications. The key to the Tornado Filters success is the combination of an Entrance Nozzle Plate, Velocity Tube and Reduced Flow Velocity through the Tornado Filter Screen. These three concepts work together to optimize the cleaning efficiency of the Tornado Filters. The Entrance Nozzle plate increases the velocity of solution entering the filter and forces it in a downward, rotational pattern. The Velocity Tube keeps the solution moving at an optimal velocity down the entire length of the filter screen.
