CLEANR’S biomimicry inspired VORTX technology is being applied across multiple industries
Inspired by Fish Gills
Specialized gill structures in whale sharks and manta rays create water vortices that suspend and redirect particles to keep their gills from clogging.
The CLEANR VORTX
The CLEANR VORTX’s patent-pending, proprietary design generates a continuous vortex to suspend and redirect particulates and other contaminants for more efficient filtration.
Fluid model of the CLEANR VORTX
This model demonstrates the continuous vortices in CLEANR's VORTX, the next generation of filtration.
