Rotary joints in the rubber and tire industries are vital components that enable the transfer of fluids (like water, steam, or oil) to rotating equipment, ensuring smooth operation in processes such as tire molding, vulcanization, and rubber extrusion. They are used to supply cooling fluids to molds in tire curing presses, transfer steam for vulcanization, and deliver lubricants or cooling water to extrusion and mixing machinery. These rotary joints are designed to withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and chemical exposure, offering durability, reliability, and efficiency in fast-paced production environments, while minimizing downtime and maintaining consistent product quality.
Rotary unions, also known as rotary swivels, are essential in the rubber and tire industries for transferring fluids such as water, steam, air, or oil from a stationary source to rotating machinery. In tire manufacturing, rotary unions are used to deliver cooling water to tire molds during curing processes, ensuring the rubber cools evenly and maintains its quality. They also transfer steam for vulcanization, facilitating the chemical transformation of rubber into durable tire components. In rubber processing, rotary unions supply lubricants or cooling fluids to extrusion and mixing machines, contributing to smooth operations. These unions are designed to endure high pressures, temperatures, and chemical exposures, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding production environments.
