Disclosed material flow amplifiers have opposing amplifier bodies each with a profile that jointly defines an amplifier body (i.e., “clamshell configuration”). The amplifier body has a flow expander section and a vortex inducer section. A vortex chamber insert is within at least an interior space of the vortex inducer section. Such material flow amplifiers provide for flow of flowable material within a flow passage of a material flow conduit (e.g., a portion of a pipeline, tubing or the like) to have a cyclonic flow (i.e., vortex or swirling) profile. Advantageously, the cyclonic flow profile centralizes flow toward the central portion of the flow passage, thereby reducing laminar flow.
