Optimise your pipework with swivels
We have designed and supplied bespoke and off-the-shelf units to many areas within the the food and drink industry : Swivel Joints allow fluids to be transferred across rotating interfaces , without leakage and under pressure . Big named brands along with smaller manufacturers have our units helping their processing plants , farms , dairies and breweries all run smoothly .
Simple single flow units are used in many applications including loading arms , articulated pipework and hose reelers . Some applications require articulated pipe work or hoses to allow fluids ; such as Hydraulic Power , Air ( pneumatic ) control lines , or mixed process fluids to be used on moving machinery . Swivel joints will allow the movement on a slowly rotating drum or remove the damaging effect of twisting on hoses . Engineered from 316 stainless steel for cleanliness , there is a choice of hygienic end fittings .

Swivel Joints

Swivel joints allow pipework to
pressure 1 / 4 ” to 40 ” and beyond . Vacuum to over 20,000psi . Stock and bespoke production .
Unique bearing / seal design for longer life .
ISO 9001 CE marked where applicable .
As all swivel joints consist of at least two separate parts , one moving within the other . The slight catchment area where the two sections meet has always been considered a problem . Rotaflow have solved this issue with the insertion of a PTFE washer , completely filling the catchment area .
