HOUSTON, Feb. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Vortex Companies (Vortex), a leading provider of advanced trenchless water and wastewater technologies and infrastructure renewal services, today announced the launch of the IMS MICROcure LED Small Diameter CIPP Curing System (MICROcure) added to its portfolio of UV-CIPP solutions. Source One® Environmental (S1E) is Vortex’s exclusive US distributor for this technology.
“The addition of small diameter UV curing technology rounds out our product offering, providing a system specifically designed for building branch and interior piping systems,” said Mike Vellano, CEO of Vortex Companies. “We have teamed up with S1E, whose key customers include residential and commercial installers, to become our distribution and distribution partner.”
“We are very pleased to add MICROcure to our catalog of pipe repair solutions,” said Ron Smith, President of S1E. “There is a tremendous need for this non-invasive pipe replacement technology and we are excited to introduce it to our customers looking to grow their business.”
MICROcure is specifically designed for relining sewer mains, laterals and indoor plumbing from 3″ to 10″ in diameter and works with both inversion and CIPP methods. Designed for portability, MICROcure is built on a two-wheel cart and weighs just 176 pounds. The system comes with two light sources for optimal curing: a 2 x 400 watt unit that easily navigates multiple bends up to 90 degrees for 3″ to 6″ pipe, and an 8 x 100 watt unit that which accommodates 6″ to 10″ pipes. Vortex and S1E’s training support resources will be valuable in educating the North American market on the benefits of MICROcure for small diameter trenchless rehabilitation and to support the domestic adoption of the technology.
“MICROcure’s versatility of application and compact size make it a worthwhile addition to an installer’s services,” added Smith. “It will potentially create a new revenue stream for installers looking to invest in a trenchless and non-invasive solution for repairing or renewing building piping systems, as well as building laterals and sewers.”
