High speed rotary joint of cement packaging machine

The high-speed rotary joint of the cement plant packaging machine is a pneumatic/hydraulic dynamic seal designed specifically for rotating filling cylinders. Its core function is to continuously transmit fixed air source/hydraulic power to the rotating discharge nozzle mechanism, drive the gate opening and closing, bag clamping or coding action, and ensure that there is no leakage or air leakage during high-speed continuous filling.

fiber optic rotary joint

Fiber optic rotary joints (fiber optic slip rings) are similar to conductive slip rings, but use light as the transmission medium. Fiber optic rotary joints (FORJs) come in two forms: single channel and multi-channel. They break through the existing transmission distance and are devices that allow light or optical signals to be transmitted between fixed structures and continuously rotating components.
