Metal Intalox Saddle is high performance random packing,successfully used in mass transfer towers both small and large diameter. It is frequently used in deep vacuum towers where low pressure drop is crucial and also high pressure towers where capacity significantly exceeds conventional trays,offer a 30% lower pressure drop than Pall Rings but with a lower liquid hold-up.Intalox Saddles’ physical shape permits maximum randomness and minimum alignment, Advanced design gives it high rate of liquid film surface renewal producing a high mass transfer rate, leading to a greater capacity and efficiency compared to other random packings,Large number of contact points for homogenous distribution of liquid and gas,Facilitates shorter packed bed heights. Application ﹡Transfer towers both small and large diameter ﹡Deep vacuum towers where low pressure drop is crucial and also high pressure towers where capacity significantly exceeds conventional trays ﹡Distillation, absorption etc ﹡High pressure towers

Material
The above data is reference to material stainless steel (AISI304) in the material thickness shown. Other material available: carbon steel, stainless steel including 304, 304L, 410,316, 316L.
Advantage
A versatile packing used in distillation, absorption and other operations.
Used in both deep vacuum and high pressure towers.
Metal saddle is high performance random packing successfully used in mass transfer towers both small and large diameter. It is frequently used in deep vacuum towers where low pressure drop is crucial and also high pressure towers where capacity significantly exceeds conventional trays.
