Metal Random Packing

Random packings have been used for separations in chemical and refining plants for many years. They have a number of practical, chemical process and commercial benefits, including improved distillation or absorption efficiency and a reduced pressure drop compared to other mass transfer contacting devices.

Choosing the correct random packing for a specific application involves a number of considerations that are largely dependent on the process. The primary factors to be considered are density, measurement, wetting rate, surface area and other relevant characteristics.

For example, in the case of a high-pressure distillation column the surface area created by the random packing is crucial for vapor-liquid contact to achieve the desired efficiencies. The other important factor is that the shape of the random packing element must be such that vapor and liquid can easily be brought into contact, reducing the likelihood of gas bubble formation.

The first generation of random packings were very crude and performed poorly. During the late 1800s they were replaced by ceramic saddles and rings which became the standard of the industry for decades.

However, as technology developed and new design techniques were employed the performance of random packings began to improve. In the mid 1960s more complex variations of the rings and saddles were introduced.

Today Koch-Glitsch offers a wide variety of genuine random packings in metal, plastic and ceramic materials. They are designed and sized to give you the maximum possible performance.

IMTP(r) Packing

Intalox Packed Tower Systems(r) combines the advantages of the saddle shape random packing with that of modern high performance ring type packings to provide a greater capacity and efficiency than conventional random packing at comparable vapor and liquid loads. The inherent shape provides a lower pressure drop than the conventional random packing and allows for deeper beds with a higher surface area utilisation to increase capacity and reduce pressure drop.

G-CR(tm) Random Packing

G-CR(tm) is a high performance random packing that applies a lower aspect (diameter to height) ratio of 1:3 when compared to the conventional random packing. This orients the packing in a way that preferentially orients more of the flat surfaces parallel to vapor and liquid traffic than perpendicular. The flange construction at the edge provide greater mechanical strength allowing deeper beds and a lower pressure drop.

Starflake(r) High Performance Random Packing

The latest addition to our product range is the 'Starflake' high performance random packing, which has been designed for applications such as scrubbing and stripping. The low aspect ratio of the packing enables the Starflake particles to orient their open side facing the vapor flow, reducing friction and improving liquid drainage.

Carbon Raschig Rings

The carbon ring is a cylindrical packing made of graphite, which is ideally suited for processes in which ceramic packing is not a viable option. This high performance random packing also has a lower aspect ratio than the M-Ring and is suitable for applications such as scrubbing and gas/liquid extraction.

METAL CONJUGATE RING

METAL CONJUGATE RING

Metal conjugated ring is a kind of filling material with metal as raw material, which is one of the most advanced and effective types of metal filling materials.  Metal conjugated ring is a new type of ring and saddle shaped packing which makes up for its shortcomings.  Compared with the metal rectangular saddle ring, it has higher efficiency and stronger characteristics.
