Improved Ice Rink Quality and Energy Savings
Thursday, October 4th, 2012“In Europe, over 250 ice rink operators have started to use a
vortex process technology, to lay and resurface ice rinks.

spinning the water into an ordered vortex movement.
Through this process, micro- bubbles are driven to the
