You woke up this morning not realizing how much of your day is impacted by a Vortex product. The fiber fluff in your mattress is processed through a Vortex Orifice Gate valve. You jumped in the shower and turned on the faucet, whose manufacturer required large Vortex Damper Valves for dust control in their foundry. The bar of soap you used was made by using a Vortex Roller Gate valve to meter the flow of phosphates into the manufacturing process.
