Khớp nối quay PTX™
The PTX rotary joint and stationary syphon system incorporate the latest developments in seal design and drying technology for paper dryers. The lightweight design makes for easy installation; yet its heavy-duty construction handles high pressure, high speed, and angular misalignment. The PTX can also accommodate thermal expansion of the dryer journal – even when used on the front side of paper machines.
The patented PTX steam joint design uses a spring-loaded piston that applies balanced pressure on the seal ring to keep it securely seated against the wear plate. The wear plate is attached to the journal or a filler flange. The wear plate rotates while the piston remains stationary. The seal ring is free floating to accommodate angular and offset misalignment.
With its spring-loaded piston and reverse seal, the PTX seal technology is a far different design than conventional seal packages. These advanced design differences make the PTX a more reliable, easier-to-maintain joint – even under the most difficult operating conditions. The PTX is rated up to 400° F (205° C), 160 psig (11 bar), and 500 RPM (8,000 fpm).
