A Unique Configuration for Superior Performance The PTX rotary steam joint is designed for high performance drying. The new design can handle high pressures, high speeds, and misalignment. It can also accommodate thermal expansion of the dryer journal - even when used on the front side of paper machines that have CARB® bearings. The PTX design uses a spring-loaded piston (A) to apply pressure on the seal ring (B) to keep it securely seated against a spherical seal plate (C). The seal plate is attached to the journal or filler flange (D). The seal plate rotates while the piston remains stationary....

Spare Parts List Stationary Syphons Designed for Effective Condensate Removal This rigidity is further enhanced by the vertical support (B). This one-piece support strengthens and stiffens the vertical syphon pipe, to minimise its deflection and vibration. Decreased vibration allows the syphon shoe clearance to be accurately set, resulting in increased drying capacity and consistency of operation. The Kadant Johnson PTX rotary joint is designed specifically for the cantilever stationary syphon. The rigid PTX ring bracket supports the syphon through a horizontal tube that passes through the dryer...

Papermakers from around the world "test drive" their latest ideas at the Kadant Johnson Research Centre, simulating operating conditions, testing steam and condensate options for the future of their paper machines. The Kadant Johnson Research Centre is unique in allowing a real-time view inside the dryer cylinders. Kadant Johnson can select and demonstrate the right combination of rotary joints, syphons, and associated components to meet your specific requirements. Whether you are looking to boost drying efficiency or optimise your steam and condensate system, Kadant Johnson Research and Development...
