Pioneered by DEUBUN, the FSB™ is a self-supported steam joint that features ball bearings and a
balanced mechanical seal applicable to (in tandem with a stationary siphon) high-speed open gear
machines. With the FSB, many older open gear machines may now be upgraded to utilize stationary
siphons that offer the benefits of reduced differential pressure and blow-through. When teamed up with
a stationary siphon, the FSB Series steam joint offers an opportunity to increase production on dryer
limited machines while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
The FSB steam joint/stationary siphon combination is suitable for machine throughput speeds up to
900 MPM (3000 FPM) with a steam pressure of 3 bar (45 PSI).
The balanced mechanical seal delivers improved seal life by up to four times that of conventional
pressure-type seals (depending upon steam pressure, speed and paper grade.)
