​Metal Random Packing: Robust Performance for Demanding Processes​

Metal random packing is the go-to choice for applications where strength, high-temperature resistance, and durability are non-negotiable. Unlike plastic or ceramic options, metal packings thrive in harsh chemical environments and demanding operational conditions, offering a reliable, long-lasting solution for your tower internals.
​How It Works​
These packings are individual, specially shaped components—like rings and saddles—made from various metal alloys. When randomly loaded into a column, they create a vast surface area that forces vapor and liquid into intimate contact. This maximizes mass transfer efficiency for separations and reactions, all while maintaining structural integrity under stress.

Triangular Spiral Packing

Triangular Spiral Packing – Precision Fenske Design for High-Resolution Separation​​

​ ​​Triangular Spiral Packing – Where Geometry Meets Efficiency​​ When you need to push the limits of separation efficiency in laboratory or specialized industrial applications, triangular spiral packing delivers a distinct advantage. As a member of the Fenske spiral family, this packing replaces conventional circular coils with a triangular wire winding pattern. This simple geometric shift creates more defined flow paths and increased surface contact—giving you sharper separations, even when dealing with challenging mixtures like isotopes. We appreciate designs that use smart geometry to solve practical problems. The triangular shape provides more interaction points per spiral turn compared to standard springs, leading to better vapor-liquid distribution. While it does come with a slightly higher pressure drop, the gain in separation performance is often well worth the trade-off in high-value applications where purity is the ultimate goal. ​​Clear Specifications – Optimized for Precision​​ Size (mm) Surface Area (m²/m³) Void Ratio (%) Bulk Density (kg/m³) 1.5 3500 80 1500 3 2800 84 1200 4 2500 88 1100 ​​Performance Highlights​​ ​​Theoretical Plates:​​ Up to 45 plates per meter ​​H.E.T.P.
