China Ceramic Corrugated Structure Tower Packing & Ceramic Bellow Packing for Tower Manufacturers, Factory

Ceramic corrugated packing is a disk-type structured packing composed of corrugated ceramic sheets arranged parallel and vertically to each other. It features a compact structure and large specific surface area.

Product Description

Ceramic corrugated packing is a disk-type structured packing composed of corrugated ceramic sheets arranged parallel and vertically to each other. It features a compact structure and large specific surface area.

When the tower diameter is less than 450 mm, the packing is made as a whole disk. When the diameter is larger than 450 mm, it is fabricated in segments.

During operation, adjacent disks are stacked with a 90° staggered arrangement, so that liquid is redistributed and evenly distributed after passing each disk layer, which improves gas-liquid contact. Compared with conventional random packing, it can greatly reduce resistance and achieve higher operating efficiency.

Characteristic Parameters

① Temperature & Density

Operating temperature up to 500 ℃ and bulk density of 500–1000 kg/m³. Sheet thickness varies: thicker sheets result in smaller specific surface area, while thinner sheets provide larger specific surface area for optimal separation or absorption.

② Peak Height

Standard dimensions apply for high liquid flow processes like absorption and cooling. For low pressure drop applications (such as vacuum operations), lower peak height is utilized.

③ Corrugation Pitch

Generally about twice the peak height to ensure symmetrical corrugations; conventional corrugation pitches are widely adopted in industry.

④ Disk Height

Standard production height is 50 mm, up to a maximum of 200 mm. Smaller height enables more frequent redirection and superior liquid redistribution despite more complex installation.

⑤ Arrangement Angle

Designed with an arrangement angle generally ranging between 30–45 degrees.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is ceramic corrugated packing used for?

It is a structured disk-type ceramic packing designed for industrial towers to facilitate efficient gas-liquid contact, absorption, and cooling with minimal resistance.

How does tower diameter affect the structural design of the packing?

For tower diameters under 450 mm, the packing is manufactured as a single whole disk. For diameters exceeding 450 mm, it is fabricated in segmented pieces for easier handling and installation.

What are the temperature limits and corrosion capabilities?

The packing supports long-term operation up to 500 ℃ and short-term peaks up to 800 ℃. It is resistant to all organic solvents, acidic gases, and inorganic acids (excluding hydrofluoric acid HF).

Why are adjacent disks installed in a 90° staggered arrangement?

The 90° staggered alignment forces liquid to redistribute evenly after passing through each disk layer, which dramatically improves gas-liquid contact efficiency while lowering system resistance.

What is the typical service life of ceramic tower packings?

Under normal industrial operating conditions, Ceramic Corrugated Structure Packing offers a service life of 5 to 8 years, whereas Ceramic Bellow Packing lasts between 6 to 10 years.
