Swivel Joints: Single & Dual Plane
Australian Manufacturer & Supplier
Tired of the constant struggle with maintaining your swivel joints? We hear you!
At Treloar, we understand the frustration of frequent greasing and recurring seal replacements. That's why we've completely revolutionised our swivel joint designs. Treloar designs and supplies single and dual plane swivel joints for tanker truck, rail and marine loading systems across Australia. Available in the 3000, 5000 and HSF series, Treloar swivel joints are engineered for safe, leak-free fluid transfer with significantly reduced maintenance requirements compared to traditional designs. Standard sizes 3/4" to 12", materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium and bronze.
We've engineered a way to check seals are leaking without separating the body and tail so you can easily inspect annually and replace when needed
We've replaced the dust seal with an o-ring to prevent water ingress, extending life
We've added a backup seal which allows for planned maintenance
Seals and bearings can be conveniently greased with different greases in each
Split flange swivels allow seal replacement without removing ball bearings
We can provide extreme service swivels from our trusted international partners to handle almost any fluid needing to be transferred (such as acid, caustic or speciality chemicals)
Swivel Joint Maintenance Requirement Improvements
Say Goodbye to Monthly Greasing:
One of the most significant improvements is the extended greasing interval. Our new swivel joints only require lubrication annually, a drastic reduction compared to the monthly greasing routines of traditional models. This translates to significant time savings and reduced maintenance costs for your operation.
Effortless Seal Inspection and Replacement:
Another pain point addressed is seal maintenance. Previously, inspecting for worn seals often meant a time-consuming disassembly process. Our upgraded swivel joints feature a cleverly engineered leak detection port. This allows for a simple annual inspection to determine seal integrity, eliminating unnecessary disassembly and maximizing uptime.
Enhanced Durability for Extended Service Life:
We’ve gone beyond just reducing maintenance frequency. Our new swivel joints boast superior durability thanks to a series of strategic upgrades. We’ve replaced the traditional dust seal with a more robust o-ring, effectively preventing water ingress, a major contributor to premature seal wear. Furthermore, we’ve incorporated a backup seal, providing an extra layer of protection and extending the overall lifespan of your swivel joint.
Unparalleled Convenience and Flexibility:
For even greater convenience, our new swivel joint design allows independent greasing of seals and bearings with different greases, catering to specific application requirements. Additionally, the split flange design facilitates easy seal replacement without removing the ball bearings, further streamlining maintenance procedures.
Extreme Service Solutions:
Our commitment to innovation extends beyond standard applications. We understand that some operations require swivel joints capable of handling highly specialized fluids. To address this need, we offer a selection of extreme service swivel joints sourced from our trusted international partners. These robust joints are designed to withstand harsh environments and handle a wide range of fluids, including acids, caustics, and specialty chemicals, ensuring reliable performance in even the most demanding situations.
