Vortis Engineering specifies and supplies pumps, motors, gearboxes and fans for manufacturing sites — and helps industry cut water and energy costs with proven saving technology.
Get in touch Cut your water costsServices built on real plant-floor experience
From a single replacement pump to a site-wide efficiency survey, we solve engineering problems that keep production running and costs down.
Rotating Equipment
Specification and supply of replacement pumps, motors, gearboxes and fans — matched correctly to your application, first time.
Valves & Ancillaries
Supply of valves and ancillary equipment from trusted manufacturers, with expert guidance on selection and sizing.
Energy-Saving Surveys
On-site surveys that identify where your plant is wasting energy and water — with practical, costed recommendations.
Engineering Consultancy
Expert opinion on engineering problems on manufacturing sites — reducing critical failures before they stop production.
The water cost-saving valve
A brand-new, ground-breaking technology — exclusive to Vortis as the main UK agent for this patented American-manufactured valve. A simple retrofit with a measurable return on any site using large volumes of water.
- Cuts site water costs by 15% to 30% per year
- Suits any industry using large volumes of water
- Proven on live industrial sites through working trials
- Straightforward installation with minimal disruption
- Savings verified against your own water bills
Bakeries, food and drink production, chemicals, paper, textiles — if your site uses significant volumes of water, the valve pays for itself.
Energy-saving projects on pumps, motors and fans
Rotating equipment consumes the majority of most manufacturing sites' electricity. We identify, deliver and verify on-site energy-saving projects on the equipment doing the work.
Pumps
Oversized and throttled pumps waste energy every hour they run. We re-specify duty points, trim or resize, and replace with high-efficiency units where the payback stacks up.
Motors
Upgrades to high-efficiency motors and variable-speed drives on variable loads — often the fastest-payback energy project on any manufacturing site.
Fans
Airflow, drive and control optimisation on ventilation and process fans, with efficient replacements where existing units are past their best.
Every project is costed with its expected payback — and savings are verified against your energy data after installation.
Built on 34 years at the sharp end of manufacturing
Vortis Engineering was founded by a mechanical engineer with over three decades of hands-on experience solving problems on manufacturing sites — from specifying rotating equipment to eliminating repeat failures.
Based in Liverpool and serving the North West and beyond, we work with manufacturing and blue-chip companies who need equipment specified right, supplied quickly and supported by someone who has stood where they stand.
Customer first
Customer service is of the utmost importance — we build long-term relationships, not one-off transactions.
Deep specialist knowledge
Decades of expertise in the pump industry and rotating equipment across manufacturing sectors.
Independent & direct
Direct accounts with leading manufacturers mean competitive pricing and honest, unbiased specification.
