Bespoke Swivel Joint Replacement
Seanic Ocean Systems needed a replacement swivel for an existing unit , which was made by another company - they contacted us .
The existing unit had worn out and needed to be replaced and the competitor lead time was simply too long to be practical for Seanic Ocean Systems . At Rotaflow we have our design , manufacturing and testing departments within the same building so save significant time and costs . We can take a project from design to shipping with significantly reduced external reliance – this saves a lot of time and money .
Our engineers discussed the merits of our designs compared to that of the current unit with Seanic . It was deemed that we would be able to design a more effective and efficient alternative on a much shorter lead time , which was welcomed by the Seanic team – in industry time literally is money , so the sooner we could deliver the swivel joint the better .
The Rotaflow designed swivel was used on a hose reel . It was required to withstand very high pressure and high temperature , including oil 206 bar (~ 3000 psi ) / 121 deg C . It is a dual flow unit , allowing two separate flows through the same swivel joint .
