Filton Rotary Unions in the Cereal Industry

Filton rotary unions and swivel joints are also used extensively in cereal production. Steam is injected through the union to cook the product. These types of union would usually have stainless steel contact parts for hygiene purposes.

Chocolate is also milled on machines fitted with water cooled rolls. Some machinery producing confectionery uses water below ambient temperature and sometimes brine to minus 25°C to aid cooling speeds.
