VORTEX
Presentation of a Novel Class of Electric Whole Body Cryotherapy Systems
Vortex is Artica Systems’ dedication to delivering professional grade cryotherapy within reach and at an affordable price for commercial and residential applications. Designed in the USA, this single chamber model utilizes patent pending BreezeLink™ airflow and an extreme range of direct impingement wind chill fans to achieve therapeutic air temperatures down to –85 °F. In as little as 2–5 minutes, it can reduce chest surface temperatures by more than 40 °F, providing fast, even cooldowns that are equal to the performance of nitrogen based systems—without the logistical headaches or ongoing gas expense
A Potent Combination
We have mastered the art of heat transfer at Artica Systems. The high speed wind chill fans at Vortex are placed in direct impingement configuration for the highest convective efficiency of cooling. This entails all areas of the body receiving equal, powerful air flow and a completely immersive environment with no cold spots. Through the use of sophisticated fan geometry and airflow channeling, Vortex is able to provide maximum performance while reducing energy expenditure—professional grade results at a fraction of the expense of other cryotherapy technology
Specs
Vortex’s single chamber unit is 55″ L × 57″ D × 98″ H, offering plenty of space for clients of diverse sizes to move around, stretch, or just relax while in sessions. We suggest a minimum of +2″ of clearance on every side to ensure adequate ventilation and access for service. The outdoor engine unit, measuring 40.51″ L × 15.28″ D × 48.9″ H, sits comfortably outside your building, necessitating an installation envelope of 68.51″ L × 41.8″ D × 68.9″ H.
All you require is a normal single phase 34 RLA electrical circuit—no three phase power or bespoke transformers. Artica Systems includes complete site prep advice, power planning, and ventilation guidance to guarantee an effortless, code compliant installation ready to chill on day one
Customize Your Chamber
Your Vortex can be as distinctive as your brand. Select from actual material claddings—stainless steel, wood veneer (“Cabin”), matte textured slate, or high end marble—to fit your studio’s style. Our in house design staff works with you on trim accents, accent finishes, and full scale material replacements to achieve a flawless integration into your environment.
Touchscreen Interface
We do it all from initial rendering to end-of-line installation. Once you pick your finish, we create 2D and 3D drawings with specificity for your review, and we then machine our own custom panels in Oregon. The outcome is a cryotherapy chamber that functions at its ultimate level as well as enhance the visual beauty of your wellness environment
