Syphons remove condensate from steam heated rolls.
The selection of syphons plays a crucial role in optimizing condensate removal inside a pressure vessel. Rotary syphons, which rotate with the dryer, are utilized in lower-speed applications where condensate pooling occurs. Conversely, stationary syphons maintain a fixed position and are employed in higher-speed applications where condensate is rimming. Our portfolio of syphons is specifically designed to accommodate various machine speeds, steam pressures, condensing loads, blow-through steam characteristics, and other application-specific parameters.
Stationary Syphons for the Paper Industry
Cantilever Stationary Syphon
Engineered for dryers operating at speeds up to 6,000 fpm, this durable syphon is designed to integrate seamlessly with dryer drainage systems and components.
Applications
PT2X™ rotary steam joint
High-speed, closed gear paper machines
Rotational Speeds
up to 6,000 fpm
Internally Supported Stationary Syphon (ISSS™)
Supported by an internal carbon bushing, the ISSS™ is particularly well-suited for small-bore paper dryer journals and open gear machines operating at medium to high-speeds.
Applications
ELS™ rotary steam joint
ELSX™ rotary steam joint
Self-supported rotary joints
Internally compensated rotary joints
Rotational Speeds
up to 4,000 fpm
Rotary Syphons for the Paper Industry
Heavy Duty Rotary Syphon (HDRS)
Designed for rimming applications operating below 3,300 fpm, the HDRS employs a durable spring mechanism to ensure secure positioning against the cylinder shell, while a stainless-steel pickup foot is welded to the vertical condensate pipe.
Applications
Self-supported rotary joints
Internally compensated rotary joints
Rotational Speeds
up to 3,300 fpm
Rotary Scoop Syphon
Engineered specifically for non-rimming cylinders that feature internal access via a manhole, this syphon utilizes a wide syphon shoe to collect non-rimming condensate as it rotates.
Applications
Slow paper machines
Rotational Speeds
up to 650 fpm
Syphons for the Corrugating Industry
Slimline™ Elbow Syphon
Engineered for small journal rolls without Turbulator™ Tube® Bars, this syphon incorporates a gravity-locking elbow that securely positions itself due to the weight of the vertical leg.
Applications
LJX™ rotary steam joints
LJX-PT™ rotary steam joints
Small journal ID rolls without Turbulator Tube bars
Higher rotational speeds
Rotational Speeds
up to 1,000 fpm
90° Locking Elbow Syphon
Designed exclusively for the CorrPro® rotary steam joint and Turbulator™ Tube® bars, this syphon is equipped with a durable locking elbow to prevent interference with Turbulator Tube bars and a proprietary locking mechanism that ensures secure positioning during installation.
Applications
CorrPro rotary steam joint
Higher rotational speeds
Rolls with Turbulator Tube bars
Rotational Speeds
up to 1,500 fpm
Supercurve™ Syphon
Manufactured from a single piece of thick walled, seamless steel tube that is gradually bent to meet the needs of the application, this robust syphon operates in problematic, high-vibration rolls that cannot maintain syphon clearance with traditional syphons.
Applications
High-vibration rolls that cannot maintain syphon clearance
Rotational Speeds
up to 1,000 fpm
