Torch-Air’s VORTEX Featured in Textile World’s Filtration Report

Torch-Air’s VORTEX baghouse dust collector appears in “Filtration Basics: Quiet Giant,” a special report from U.S. trade publication Textile World exploring the role of technical textiles in industrial filtration.

The photograph appears on page 25 of the magazine’s 2026 Quarterly Issue III, with a caption identifying VORTEX and crediting Torch-Air.com. The report is also available online in the publication’s Nonwovens / Technical Textiles section. Before publication, the editorial team contacted Torch-Air to request permission to use the image.

The report traces the evolution of filtration textiles from basic fabrics to engineered materials developed for specific operating conditions. It also examines the role of baghouse systems in cement production, metals processing, power generation, and waste-to-energy facilities, where filter bags must withstand hot, dust-laden, and chemically aggressive gas streams.

These are practical considerations for Torch-Air as a manufacturer of industrial air-cleaning equipment. Selecting the right filter media is a key part of configuring a baghouse for its application. Gas temperature, chemical composition, dust characteristics, and operating conditions all influence that choice—and ultimately affect filtration performance and service life.

We are pleased to see VORTEX included in Textile World’s coverage of industrial filtration and thank the editorial team for featuring our equipment.
