Contactless rotary joint – contactless sealing system

Country of Origin:
Reference Number: TOHU20161006001
Publication Date: 6 October 2016

Summary

A Hungarian SME operating in the rotary joint industry, has developed an integrated, contactless rotary joint – sealing system. It has the advantages of long warranty, safety and energy saving especially in case of steam applications. The company is looking for partners interested in buying or licensing the IP and know-how or  who would be interested in a commercial agreement with technical assistance.

Description

A Hungarian company is active in the rotary joint industry, has found a solution for the biggest drawback of commonly used rotary joints, which originates from their feature having frictional sliding faces. This characteristic reduces energy efficiency and generates undesirable heat, which consequently decreases lifetime. These drawbacks represent additional costs and labor force needed to replace the run-down parts. 
The company's invention is a novel, contactless rotary joint – sealing system, which is capable of eliminating the above mentioned problems. Their product is fully developed, available on the market.
The product has a wide range of application as any other standard rotary joint, but the best results on energy saving are shown on steam applications. This makes it a perfect product for paper and processing industry, but other industries like steel mills, beverage packing, glass processing, textile making, printing etc. could benefit from it too.

The Hungarian SME is therefore looking for potential partners working in the above mentioned industrial fields. Their aim is to find international partners, who would buy or license the IP and know-how, or who are interested a commercial agreement with technical assistance.

Advantages and Innovations

The main advantages of the technology are long warranty (3 years or more) on the product, the energy saving that it allows and the heightened safety. The energy efficiency may be separated into two categories: less electrical energy to run the system and more efficient use of steam or hot oil in cylinders. 

The electrical energy saving comes from the fact that there are no sliding faces and there is no friction part of the system.

As the rotary joint turns freely, initial energy use to start up the machine are lower and because there is no friction, less power is required to keep continuous operation.

The heat factor efficiency comes from the next: as there is no leakage from the rotary union, a better medium transfer is achieved. This means better insulation, higher temperature in the cylinders, so less steam or hot oil is required (applicable on steam and hot oil use only).

Stage Of Development

Already on the market

Requested partner

- Type of partner sought: The company is looking for partners interested in buying or licensing the IP and the know-how, or partners interested in commercial agreement whit technical assistance.

- Specific area of activity of the partner: The product has a wide range of application as any other standard rotary joint, but the best results on energy saving are shown on steam applications. This makes it a perfect product for paper and processing industry, but other industries like steel mills, beverage packing, glass processing, textile making, printing etc. could benefit from it too.
