Vis-Tex Tunnel Filtration System

The Vis-Tex Tunnel Filtration System is a patent-pending technology providing an easy to install, hyper-efficient system that quickly removes debris, lint and hair from your tunnel’s water stream.

In today’s modern tunnel operations, manufacturers and laundry management have included or installed modifications that allow for a significant reduction in the use of fresh water. This is a major benefit not only in water and sewer cost reductions, but also significant savings in energy costs. But reduced water usage means an increase in soil and insolubles in the wash and rinse water streams. Hair, lint and other debris have become a greater problem. Now Gurtler has the solution… The exclusively engineered and designed, patent pending: Vis-Tex Tunnel Filtration System. This low maintenance, automatic filtration system removes an incredible amount of material from your rinse-water stream, preventing it from depositing on your textiles. Gurtler’s technical experts and engineers help you determine the best placement of the system, making sure that it has the greatest effect on your quality. You supply the power source and the connection ports and Gurtler Installs and optimizes the system. Completely hassle-free installation!
 

Cleaner processing water means cleaner textiles!
