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. Problems encountered include excessive condensate causing cold spots and blistering, leaking gaskets, broken condensate syphons and poor seal life. The latest Deublin HPS steam joint is specifically designed to solve these problems to improve corrugated product quality and reduce maintenance costs.

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

This 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.

Covering sizes 1 1/4', 1 1/2', and 2' inch with the same product the HPS steam joint reduces inventory holdings at the plants and fitting dimensions conform to current industry standards.

The HPS product has been adopted by a large number of well-known corrugating packaging manufacturers in the UK and throughout the world.
