LJX™ Rotary Joint

Product catalog summary
Overview
The LJX Rotary Joint and Syphon System is designed to enhance heat transfer and improve bonding at higher speeds for various board combinations. It is specifically engineered for preheater, preconditioner, pressure, and centrally-heated fluted rolls, offering a safer and more reliable solution.
Design and Features
  • The system is a robust combination that retrofits critical rolls on the single facer, eliminating common deficiencies in conventional syphon systems.
  • Key features include the SecureLock™ syphon retention plate, ultra-rigid syphon assembly, heavy-duty mounting rods, and a visual seal ring wear indicator.
  • The system allows for a simple upgrade without piping modifications, enhancing equipment reliability and operating life.
Benefits
  • Improved bonding at higher speeds and maximum heat distribution across all board combinations.
  • Increased equipment reliability and a safer operating environment.
  • Cost-effective upgrade with a quick return on investment (ROI).
Technical Specifications
  • Maximum Pressure: 510 psig (34 bar)
  • Maximum Temperature: 550°F (288°C)
  • Maximum Speed: 350 RPM
  • Note: Running at maximum ratings for speed and pressure simultaneously is not recommended.
Construction Details
  • The system includes a one-piece, thick-wall mechanical tube and integral tapered-wedge for syphon rigidity.
  • Integral lug sleeves provide a larger surface area for support rods, maintaining rotary joint alignment and extending seal ring life.

LJX™ Rotary Joint-1

FLUID HANDLING LJX™ Rotary Joint and Syphon System Safe, Secure, Simple The LJX rotary joint and syphon system provides maximum heat to medium and liner for improved bonding at higher speeds. Designed specifically for preheater, preconditioner, pressure, and centrally-heated fluted rolls, the rigid joint and syphon system is a simple and cost-effective upgrade to a safer and more reliable solution for increasing roll temperatures across all board combinations from light to heavy weights. Specifically designed to retrofit critical rolls on the single facer, the LJX rotary joint and syphon system is a heavyduty, robust combination engineered to deliver maximum heat across all board combinations and enhance safety around the single facer. The rigid assembly eliminates deficiencies found in conventional syphon systems where syphon failures are common, condensate behavior is erratic, and roll temperatures fluctuate. SecureLock™ retention plate Head Achieving maximum roll temperatures across all board combinations and weights is done through proper control of the syphon clearance. A one-piece, thick-wall mechanical tube and integral tapered-wedge provide rigidity of the syphon, and the SecureLock™ retention plate in the rotary joint secures the syphon in place. Once the locking elbow is engaged, the syphon clearance is fixed. Bouncing syphons, deflecting bent pipes, and syphon failures are eliminated.

LJX™ Rotary Joint-2

To ensure the rods are well-supported, sleeves are inserted through the body lugs. The integral sleeves provide a larger surface area for the support rods and eliminates lug-hole wear found in conventional rod-supported joints. This heavy-duty mounting arrangement maintains rotary joint alignment over time extending seal ring life and ensuring the syphon location remains fixed at the desired clearance. Dimensions are for reference only and subject to change. Kadant is a global supplier of high-value, critical components and engineered systems used in process industries worldwide. KADANT JOHNSON...
