Floating suction and swivels

Floating suction and swivels

The heart of a flexible pipe system is the swivel. In many tank applications these swivels are submerged in the stored product. As it is not accessible for inspection or repair this service has significantly different demands than products used in the open air. Our submerged swivels are tested and designed for submerged use over a period of at least 20 years without maintenance. Swivels can be supplied in a single type or central type for increased stability in floating suction applications

Our high quality swivel joints can operate at both high and slow rotational movements. Besides the standard submerged swivels for fast-track delivery, we can also provide special types upon request.

Our swivels are used in floating suctions, drain pipe systems, skimmers and other applications that require flexible pipe connections.

All swivels are certified amongst others by TÜV, DNV and VdS and can be delivered with the requested certificates. All swivels materials will be selected and produced based on the specific application so safety will be guaranteed.
