Direct Steam Injection Water Heaters are custom-engineered for operating conditions.

Kadant Johnson, Inc.    Three Rivers, MI 49093
Jun 10, 2010 Nominally available in 1.5-6 in. sizes, direct steam injection water heaters raise temperature of water and water-based slurries by injecting steam directly into fluid. They accommodate various industrial processing applications and are custom-engineered based on operating conditions to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Absence of moving parts, with exception of actuator and modulating spindle, promotes reliability and service life.

Skid Mounted Condensate Pumps feature float-free design.

Kadant Johnson, Inc.    Three Rivers, MI 49093
Apr 06, 2010 Having no springs, pivot points, or floats, Liqui-Mover® pressure-power condensate pumps offer capacities up to 180,000 lb/hr. They use 150 psig ASME labeled steel tanks and are rated up to 450°F. Using steam or compressed air as motive pressure to lift or pump high-temperature condensate, pumps reduce or eliminate loss of flash steam and associated heat energy.

Rotary Joint targets steam and thermal oil applications.

Kadant Johnson, Inc.    Three Rivers, MI 49093
Jul 06, 2009 Designed for applications with rotating pipe and 2 flow passages, SNX self-supported rotary joint features convex seal ring, rotating horizontal pipe, and 2 carbon graphite support bearings that are widely-spaced to support joint. It is available with 1 in. threaded or quick-release flange nipple connection and is rated for up to 500°F, 300 psig, and 450 rpm for steam service. Joint can also be applied to thermal oil applications up to 650°F and 150 psig.

Rotary Union suits heat transfer fluid applications.

Kadant Johnson, Inc.    Three Rivers, MI 49093
Mar 09, 2009 Rated up to 500°F, 200 psig, and 3,500 rpm, RX Rotary Union is suited for high-temperature thermal oil applications. Tapered roller bearings support large radial and thrust loads, while bearing isolation barrier in seal chamber prevents moisture and contamination from entering bearing area. Available in sizes from 3/8 to 6 in. and in single- and dual-flow configurations, union also includes stainless steel springs located outside flow area and integral flange.

Environment-friendly Absorbent handles non-agressive liquids.

Kadant Johnson, Inc.    Three Rivers, MI 49093
Dec 10, 2008 Made from 100% recycled post-consumer paper waste, fiber-based industrial absorbent absorbs oils, solvents, lubricants, coolants, water, and non-aggressive liquids on contact. Product is created using fibrous sludge waste from select paper mills and has one-to-one weight-to-weight absorbency. Gran-sorb industrial absorbent is dust- and silica-free, leaves no stains, cleans up quickly, has low ash content, and is safe for disposal by incineration.

Pinless Syphon Elbow suits steam-heated rotating cylinders.

Kadant Johnson, Inc.    Three Rivers, MI 49093
Aug 05, 2008 Featuring integral locking mechanism that secures elbow into position, 45° Syphon Elbow is intended for installation on blind rolls or rolls with hand hole access. All components of elbow are constructed of stainless steel to provide corrosion-resistance. In addition, 45° angle results in less cantilever weight compared to long bent syphon pipe, causing less stress on horizontal syphon pipe thread connection.
