Rotary Joint and Siphon for Paper Machine Dryer Cylinders


Condensate removal for dryer cylinders in paper and board machines

Overview


Paper machine dryer cylinders run continuously with steam heating and condensate removal through the journal. Ruitus supplies rotary joints purpose-built for this duty together with the siphon assemblies that keep condensate evacuated from the cylinder interior. The joint handles the steam supply while the siphon — fitted with suction tips positioned close to the inner shell — drains condensate back to the paper machine steam system. Correct pairing of joint and siphon keeps cylinder surface temperature uniform, protects paper quality and limits energy loss from residual condensate. Ruitus can match joint size, connection type and siphon configuration to your dryer section layout.

Frequently Asked Questions


1 What is included in the paper dryer rotary joint and siphon set?
The set pairs a steam-duty rotary joint with a matched siphon assembly: the joint feeds steam in, while the siphon — with suction tips positioned close to the inner shell — drains condensate back to the steam system. Correct pairing keeps cylinder surface temperature uniform, protects paper quality and cuts energy loss from residual condensate.
2 Can you match it to our dryer section layout?
Yes — joint size, connection type and siphon configuration are matched to your dryer section and steam system. Send a photo of the nameplate plus the mounting dimensions (bore, flange, thread) and we will confirm interchangeability within 24 hours.
