FLUID HANDLING / HEALTH & SAFETY
Rotaflow In-House Designed and Manufactured Swivel Joints
Rotaflow swivels are regularly utilised in the following engineering sectors : Brewery , Chemical , Dairy & Farming , Food & Drink , Nuclear , Process & Plant , Drilling & Mining , Oil & Gas , Subsea , Water & Waste .
Swivel joints will allow the movement on a slowly rotating drum or remove the damaging effect of twisting on hoses . By fitting a quality designed swivel , you are improving your production capacity by reducing the risk of leakage with its associated downtime .
Simple single flow units are used in many applications including loading arms , articulated pipework and hose reelers . Many 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 .
The photo attached is of a 3 ” hardened carbon steel unit with specific end connections for use in the oil and gas drilling . Please visit our Previous Projects page on our website for more examples of our swivels in use . We have off-the-shelf solutions that are ready to go , or we can redesign and in-house manufacture to enable a quick turn-around with minimal fuss and maximum design experience .

MEWA helps companies improve health , safety and compliance
Leaks and spills onto floors and surfaces are a common occurrence in industrial workplaces , which can increase the risk of slips plus exposure to hazardous liquids such as solvents and degreasers .
MEWA ’ s reusable , rentable cleaning wipe service helps companies ensure spills are mopped up quickly and efficiently by always having exceptionally absorbent cloths to hand . Used cloths are then stored in MEWA ’ s SaCon safety container until collected and replaced with clean ones , giving companies peace of mind that soiled and contaminated wipes are stored safely in a fire-resisting closed container and are compliant with hazardous waste regulations and will be cleaned safely in line with legal requirements .
