End-to-End Air Pollution Control Systems

As part of the Vortex Engineering Group, Taurus supports the delivery of air pollution control systems designed by our group companies, Vortex Engineering and Fowlerex Technologies. With decades of experience and an extensive product portfolio, the group specialises in customised solutions for dust and fume extraction, air pollution control, and material handling — from design and fabrication to installation and maintenance. Our systems have been installed across New Zealand, Australia, and globally.

Taurus fabricates all equipment based on detailed designs and specifications provided by the group. We manufacture a wide range of components to meet the needs of different industries, ensuring quality results and smooth system integration.

Wet Scrubbers

Taurus manufactures a range of stainless steel scrubbers, including Venturi, Packed Bed, and Spray Tower types. Each unit is built to suit specific industrial requirements and ensure effective control of air emissions. These systems are commonly used in environments with corrosive gases, fine particulates, or odorous compounds — such as chemical processing, metal finishing, food production, and waste treatment.

Why Choose Our Wet Scrubbers?

  • Efficient removal of fine particles and harmful contaminants

  • High-performance gas absorption for cleaner air

  • Integrated odour control for improved working conditions

  • Customisable to fit a wide range of industrial processes

  • Low maintenance and cost-effective operation

ESP in the Taurus workshop

Electrostatic Precipitators (ESPs)

ESPs are highly effective devices used to remove fine particles and smoke from industrial gas streams, particularly in applications where standard filtration is not practical. They are well-suited for managing difficult dust and fume conditions.

At Taurus, we fabricate both dry and wet ESPs to suit the specific demands of each project. Vortex Engineering Group supports clients from concept through to installation and maintenance, delivering solutions that support cleaner processes and help meet regulatory requirements.

Industrial Fans

Fans play a vital role in air movement and pressure control within air pollution control systems. At Taurus, we manufacture a range of industrial fans designed to meet the demands of various operating conditions and industry environments. Each fan is engineered to suit the specific requirements of the system it supports – from dust extraction to high-temperature gas handling.

Types of Industrial Fans
There are several different types of industrial fans that are manufactured for various purposes, depending on a system’s design and operating conditions, and the type of industry.

Common impeller designs that we manufacture include:

  • Backward curved centrifugal

  • Radial tip centrifugal

  • Forward curved centrifugal

  • Open radial centrifugal

Ducting Systems

Our ducting systems are used across a range of industrial applications and are built to ensure consistent airflow performance, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance.

Effective dust and fume extraction relies on well-considered ducting design – including factors such as hood configuration, capture and transfer velocity, and material selection. With detailed engineering provided by Vortex and Fowlerex, Taurus delivers high-quality, purpose-built ducting solutions to support reliable plant operation.
