Electromagnetic devices with a vortex layer were proposed in 1967 by D.D. Logvinenko and O.P. Shelyakov. The monograph "intensification of technological processes on devices with a vortex layer", written by these authors, showed the effective use of these devices in:
* mixing of liquids and gases
* mixing of loose materials
* dry grinding of solids (micro-resin)
* grinding and dispersion of solids in liquid media
* activation of substance surface
* implementation of chemical reactions
* changes in the physical and chemical properties of substances
Following this research, these intensifiers found their application in many researches and developments.
