Ceramic Pall ring packing features an advanced open-ring structure with open areas accounting for approximately 30% of the total ring wall area. Developed on the basis of traditional ceramic Raschig rings with equal height and diameter, this specialized design allows gas and liquid in packed towers to pass freely through window openings, substantially improving gas-liquid distribution and fully utilizing the inner surface of the ring.
Under the same pressure drop, processing capacity is 50%–100% higher than Raschig rings. Mass transfer efficiency is increased by approximately 20%.
At the same throughput, pressure drop is reduced by 50%–70% compared to Raschig rings. Using Pall rings saves 20%–40% of overall packing volume.
Ceramic Pall ring packing exhibits exceptional acid resistance and heat resistance. It resists corrosion from various inorganic acids, organic acids, and organic solvents, making it suitable for demanding high-temperature environments across chemical, metallurgical, gas, and environmental protection industries.
Our ceramic Pall ring packing is widely deployed in critical industrial mass-transfer towers, including:
Our major client portfolio includes leading global petrochemical enterprises such as Sinopec and CNPC.
Each layer of window openings features 5 inward-curved tongues pointing toward the center of the ring. The upper and lower layers of window openings are staggered in opposite positions. This engineered structure dramatically enhances gas-liquid contact, reduces flow resistance, and optimizes tower capacity.

Ceramic Pall Rings offer 50%–100% higher processing capacity at the same pressure drop, reduce pressure drop by 50%–70% at equivalent throughput, increase mass transfer efficiency by around 20%, and save 20%–40% of the required packing volume compared to standard Raschig rings.
Ceramic Pall Rings feature superior acid resistance and can withstand virtually all inorganic acids, organic acids, and organic solvents. The only major exception is hydrofluoric acid (HF), which corrodes ceramic materials.
They are extensively used in drying, absorption, cooling, scrubbing, and regeneration towers within the chemical, metallurgical, gas, and environmental protection industries, including applications by major petrochemical firms like Sinopec and CNPC.
The open wall structure accounts for ~30% of the total ring wall area. With 5 inward-bending tongues per layer and staggered upper/lower openings, gas and liquid can circulate freely through the windows, maximizing inner surface utilization and gas-liquid distribution.
Standard Ceramic Pall Rings operate reliably in long-term temperatures ranging from -50°C to 800°C (and short-term up to 1000°C). With special ceramic composite materials, operating temperatures can reach up to 1200°C.
While standard diameters range from Φ16mm to Φ100mm, custom diameters from Φ8mm to Φ150mm are available, alongside customizable window hole sizes, tongue leaf counts, and specific material formulations like Cordierite, Mullite, or Alumina.
