Metal Wire Gauze Corrugated Structured Packing is engineered from woven metal wires (stainless steel, Monel, copper) into corrugated sheets. Renowned for its low pressure drop and exceptional separation efficiency, it is the industry’s preferred choice for precision distillation, vacuum distillation, and high-purity applications.
Key Features & Benefits
- Ultra-High Efficiency: Optimized geometry maximizes theoretical stages (>8 plates/m for Y-type).
- Minimal Pressure Drop: Corrugated channels reduce energy consumption.
- Material Versatility: Available in SS304/316, Monel, copper for corrosion resistance.
- Precision Performance: Ideal for demanding separations requiring high purity.
- Customizable Designs: 30° (X-type) for low ∆P, 45° (Y-type) for superior mass transfer.
