Sykes Pickavant has launched the Vortex, a mobile coolant maintenance system designed to streamline coolant servicing in automotive workshops.
This device offers a range of functions, including drainage, leak checks, cleaning, vacuum purging, and refilling, all powered by a Venturi system and pressure gauge.
The Vortex system aims to create a clean and safe working environment by recovering coolant without the need to open hoses, preventing spills. It features transparent tanks, allowing technicians to monitor fluid colour and levels, and keeps different coolant types separate to avoid contamination.
The system is designed to be compatible with a wide range of vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs) and traditional engines, and includes a pressure relief valve for added safety. With four 20-litre tanks, it provides ample capacity for efficient coolant management.
By recovering all used coolant, the Vortex system reduces waste and eliminates the mess associated with coolant leaks, making it a practical tool for modern automotive maintenance.
