Rotary Unions Exporter
RUBBER & TYRE INDUSTRY
Filton Rotary Unions are used extensively within the Rubber Industry for both mixing and extrusion. There are different types of machines which will use Filton Rotary Unions within the Rubber Industry, such as; Mills, Calendars and Extruders (which make profiles). Mixing is done by 2 roll mill, the two rolls rotate towards each other. The machine that is normally used is the Banbury Mixer.
The rolls are heated and cooled to keep the product at a certain temperature; this is done by water passing through the Filton Rotary Union into the roll. Rubber Extrusion is similar to Plastic Extrusion; Filton Rotary Unions are used to cool the extruder screw. The Extruder pushes material through a barrel with a screw. The Extruder is a machine which applies shear force to a raw product (such as rubber) to make it into a final product.
Air and Hydraulic Rotating Unions, maintenance free, mini housing design with life lubricated bearings is used on the air operated shafts and brake& clutch units.
