FLUID HANDLING
F Series Swivels for Use on Hose Reels
A rotary union , or ‘ Swivel Joint ’ is used to transfer fluid across a rotating interface . At Rotaflow we have produced Swivel Joints for many applications within all areas of engineering and for all over the world : From Brewery , Food and Drink , Process , Drilling & Mining , Oil & Gas to Nuclear , Chemical and Subsea .
We provide solutions that have enabled all manner of different fluids ( including oils , fuels , corrosives , food ) and / or air / steam to be transferred through awkward , and often , already established production infrastructure . With almost 40 years of experience , we have designed and manufactured swivels to withstand and perform effectively when faced with many tricky environmental factors : Overcoming issues with heat , pressure , size and material choice . Our dual roller and ball bearing race designs mean you get a longer life ; an increased reliable service , and a higher capacity for axial and radial loading and all without leakage . So , less downtime and more productivity .
Swivel joints will allow the movement on a slowly rotating drum or remove the damaging effect of twisting on hoses . We manufacture in Carbon Steel and 316 SS with “ specials ” in any grade of metal to suit customer specification . With bores ranging from 0.25 ” to 40 ”; Vacuum duty to 20,000PSI and multi passaged designs allowing multiple flows of fluid though a single unit .
