Technical

Specifications

Features of the advanced SF bearing units:

Sealing of the grooved ball bearing fitting spaces by sealing chambers on both sides and the narrowest gaps. The sealing chambers are packed with grease and are a solid barrier against possible penetrating dirt.
Narrowest gaps between rotating and stationary housing parts in the ingress area to the grooved ball bearing fitting spaces.
The areas around the respective annular gap between rotating and stationary housing parts are implemented flat. This design minimizes the tendency of dirt to penetrate into the annular gap.
Easily accessible mechanical seal, for simple and fast exchange of mechanical seal.
Inexpensive mechanical seal parts (sealing ring/counter ring) due to simple compact geometry.
The mechanical seal parts can be exchanged on the drive side even when the bearing unit is mounted on the stator.

Our upgrades and retrofits portfolio

Belt without v-ropes

Upgrade your conveying system with our no v-rope steel belt kit, featuring automatic tracking, improved cooling, and reduced maintenance.

Coated outer shell

The coated outer shell can be added to each sulphur solidification system based on the original Rotoform design.

Discharge device

The discharge device is used to remove solidified melts (pastilles/poured layers) from the steel belt.

Exhaust air filter system

Exhaust air filter system for solidification operations.

Pneumatic belt-tracking control

The controller is used for belt misalignment compensation of steel belts, with and without V-ropes.

ProForm system

ProForm combines our ProMix and ProSpray systems to create a complete, purpose designed release agent system.

ProRelease system

ProRelease system combines innovative design with precision engineering to achieve dramatic improvements in the application of release agents onto press belts.

Purging device

The purging device consists of an automatic two-way valve, pressure reducer, check valve, heat exchanger, heated connector to the product line and some minor piping and insulation material.

Refeed bar system

The function of the refeed bar is to push any remaining product on the surface of the outer shell back into the perforation, thereby the non-perforated area of the outer shell is cleaned.

Rotoform 4G retrofit package

By upgrading your system, you will be taking advantage of the latest Rotoform technology while at the same time protecting your investment.

Rotoform cleaning and storage rack units

Convenient, safe storage for cleaning and servicing removable Rotoform components.

Rotoform maintenance kit

With the Rotoform maintenance kit, you reduce unplanned downtime and extend the life of your equipment.

Rotoform shell removal tools

Easier, safer removal of the outer shell and metering bar on IPCO Rotoform systems.
