Rotary joints and rotary unions are essential components in the textile industry, ensuring the reliable transfer of steam, hot water, thermal oil, cooling water, and other process media from stationary pipelines to rotating equipment. They provide efficient, leak-free performance in applications such as calender rolls, drying cylinders, cooling rolls, and other textile processing machinery — enhancing productivity and process efficiency.
From drying ranges to printing lines, textile processing runs on precise steam, thermal oil, and water transfer to rotating cylinders and rolls — without a single leak breaking the run.
Deliver steam to rotating drying cylinders across the drying range — evaporating moisture from fabric at consistent temperature as it passes through.
Supply hot water or thermal oil to calender rolls — holding precise surface temperature for consistent fabric finish, smoothness, and sheen.
Transfer thermal fluid and steam in rotary dryers and reactors used in CTA and PTA drying — maintaining stable process temperature under continuous rotation.
Handle hot water and steam transfer to rotating rollers along dyeing and finishing lines — supporting consistent colour uptake and fabric treatment.
Supply heating or cooling media to rotating rollers on printing and lamination lines — maintaining register accuracy and bond quality at production speed.
The CARBON series below are specified most often for textile processing applications. Final selection should be confirmed against your operating pressure, temperature, and RPM.
