Tumble dryers – VORTX unit for dryers

Improved air circulation, fewer particles

Measurements show that around 500,000 microfibers are released within 15 minutes of operating a tumble dryer. Most of these enter the environment unfiltered through the air vent. To reduce the environmental impact of microparticles, GKD has developed an innovative separation unit. This takes the elementary function of a lint filter and optimizes it, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reduced particle pollution.

The vortex-based separation unit from GKD effectively captures fluff and particles and optimizes air circulation in the dryer. Improved airflow distributes the heat more evenly and reduces the drying time of the laundry. This reduces energy consumption and operating costs. At the same time, our technology minimizes the risk of dryer fires by preventing the accumulation of flammable lint.
