About Vortexx^® Fluted Jets                                                            

Since 1994, Vortexx has been developing innovative fluted jets that produce a higher rate of penetration (ROP), longer bit life, and cleaner holes. Vortexx^® jets' patented interiors:

increase surrounding mud entrainment increase hydraulic power imparted to flow increase mixing and turbulence have unique pressure fields have axis switching vortices can be oriented for controlled effects

Why Vortexx's 21st Century Technology is Better than the Competition

Vortexx^® nozzles have a patented interior surface geometry that produces a pressure distribution on the surface that varies with each radial plane. For more details:
