Rotaflow LP Swivel Joints Rotaflow designs and manufactures high quality swivel joints for a wide range of applications in the chemical, oil, processing and food industries. Swivel Joints are a key element in loading arms, rotating drums and filters and for relieving torque in hoses. The patented design of Rotaflow swivel joints allows 360° rotation under pressure without leakage. The combination of the bearing system and seal design gives the joints the potential of three to four times the life of a swivel joint that uses only ball bearings. With a clear bore, any fluid passing down a pipe will also pass through a Rotaflow swivel joint without restricting the flow pressure. F Series Swivel Joints The F series of swivel joints is designed for small bore applications from 1/4” to 2” (DN6 to 50). These joints are manufactured in hardened carbon steel or can be supplied in 316 stainless steel for applications up to 6,000 psi (410 bar). Joints are also available in straight and 90° styles. Multiport Systems Rotaflow Multiport systems allow two or more individual flows down a common axis. The systems have a robust design, which is suitable for handling high mechanical loads. Each joint is individually designed to suit specific applications and available in a choice of materials and seals.
1. Single swivel for 360° rotation in one plane. 2. Single swivel with elbow to allow swinging at 90° angle. 3 Single swivel with two elbows to permit swinging lines in parallel planes. 4 Two swivels with full 360° rotation in two planes at 90° angle. 5 Two swivels at 90° angle with full 360° rotation in each plane. 6 Two swivels at 90° angle with elbows on each end to permit swinging lines at any required angle to each other. 7 Three swivels with full 360° rotation plus an additional elbow to permit swinging lines at any required angle. 8 Three swivels with full 360° rotation permitting movement in three different planes.

SK Series The SK Seris features Rotaflow’s unique needle roller system and wide spaced bearings, to give a robust and reliable design. This range is ideal for process plant applications, wash system designs, slowly rotating drums, filters and applications where offset loads are a problem. The large block seal allows free movement with low torque. SK swivel joints are designed to work at pressures above 1000 psi (70 bar) and a swivel speed of up to 60 rpm. They are available in sizes 1”– 20” (DN25 to 500), with a choice of seals to suit different operating conditions and fluids. Rotaflow has also combined servomotor technology with the SK series to produce compact and powerful drive units for the piping industry. These units rotate pipework whilst carrying fluid under pressure and can be used in drum rotators, automated loading systems, robotics, food processing and water jetting. They can also be tailored to suit high pressure, IP rated and hygienic requirements. Larger Sizes We design and manufacture swivel joints in all materials in larger diameters. Shown is part of our range from 20” (DN500) upward.
