Concepts
The systems presented here represent ongoing engineering exploration into future sanitation technologies.
These concepts investigate alternative hydraulic architectures and system configurations. They are currently under development and are not commercial products.
VORTEX
Tankless flushing architecture under development
The Vortex concept explores a toilet architecture that operates without a conventional cistern, instead drawing flushing water directly from the incoming supply.
The system is based on a patented trap geometry designed to generate a controlled vortex during flushing, where tangential water injection creates a rotating flow assisting particle transport through the curved trap.
Key Technical Advantages of the Vortex Concept
Tankless Flushing Architecture
Eliminates the conventional cistern and removes the refill cycle, enabling more compact installations and simplified system configuration.
Vortex-Assisted Transport
Tangential water injection generates a controlled vortex within the trap geometry, assisting particle transport. The stabilised flow reduces splash formation and hydraulic noise, and possibly aerosolisation.
Adaptive Electronic Flow Control
When integrated with HydroElectronics, flushing behaviour can be electronically controlled and adjusted to operational demand.
Potential Application Segments
Compact Urban Housing
Reduced installation volume supports efficient use of space in dense residential projects.
Prefabricated and Modular Bathroom Systems
Simplified system architecture supports modular construction and industrialised production.
High-Use Public Facilities
Tankless operation enables immediate repeated use without refill delay.
KING
Expanded sanitary architecture for increased comfort and structural capacity
The KING concept explores sanitary geometry designed for increased seating comfort, higher structural load capacity and improved usability across a wider range of users.
The concept introduces enlarged seating geometry and reinforced structural configuration to support higher user loads while maintaining stability and comfort.
Key Technical Characteristics
Expanded Geometry
Increased seat dimensions provide improved comfort and accessibility.
Reinforced
Structure
Load distribution is optimised to support higher user weights and demanding environments.
Integrated Reservoir and Control
The vertical backrest structure functions as a built-in water reservoir, with flushing controlled through electronically actuated valves integrated within the HydroElectronics platform.
Potential Applications
Premium
Residential
Large-format sanitary installations with enhanced comfort.
Healthcare Environments
Systems designed for higher structural load capacity and accessibility.
Public
Installations
Robust sanitary systems designed for durability and serviceability.
