Customers in the corrugating industry have been suffering a number of problems with the conventional designs of steam joints used on corrugating machines for a number of years.

That is according to Deublin, which said that problems encountered include excessive condensate causing cold spots and blistering, leaking gaskets, broken condensate syphons and poor seal life.

The company said that its latest Deublin HPS steam joint is specifically designed to solve those problems to improve corrugated product quality and reduce maintenance costs.

Its design of adjustable syphon allows syphon clearance to be set after installation, ensuring that condensate removal is optimised for maximum roll temperature and uniformity.

The adjustable syphon design incorporates a collet to rigidly support the syphon over a long length away from the weakness of the thread where the syphon breakages often occurred, said the company.

Covering sizes 1.25", 1.5" and 2" with the same product the HPS steam joint reduces inventory holdings at the plants and fitting dimensions conform to current industry standards, it added.

The HPS product has been adopted by corrugating packaging manufacturers in the UK and throughout the world, said Deublin.
