Product Feature
1. Unique microgroove structure enhances wetting and spreading.
During the calendering and stretching process, the metal wire strands form continuous micro-protrusions and micro-grooves. When the liquid flows on the surface of the filler, it is drawn by capillary force and spreads rapidly along the groove direction, forming a uniform and continuously renewed liquid film. This microstructure allows the calendered pore filler to maintain good wetting even at low spray density, avoiding dry walls and channeling phenomena.
2. The specific surface area is significantly higher than that of corrugated packing of the same specification.
The calendering cavity structure itself contributes additional surface area (side surfaces of the filaments and micro-protrusions). Compared to ordinary plate corrugated packing with the same corrugation parameters, Expanded Corrugated Structured Packing can increase the effective specific surface area by 20%–40%, directly translating into higher mass transfer efficiency and lower height-to-plate (HETP).
3. Gas and liquid flow in both directions, eliminating dead zones.
The calendering pores have a through-hole structure, allowing gas to pass vertically through the plates, achieving lateral mixing and redistribution; liquids can be transferred between layers through micropores and filament gaps. This characteristic effectively eliminates mass transfer dead zones within the packing layer, enabling each packing disc to have self-redistribution capabilities.
4. Reduced pressure and significant energy savings.
The airflow resistance of calendered hole structures is lower than that of perforated plates or wire mesh packings with the same specific surface area. Compared with plate corrugated packings, calendered hole packings show a very small increase in pressure drop at the same gas velocity (typically <10%), while their mass transfer efficiency is significantly improved, exhibiting an excellent efficiency/pressure drop ratio.
5. High mechanical strength, not easily deformed
Compared to wire mesh packing, calendered hole packing uses a continuous metal strip as its base material (which remains integrally connected after stretching), resulting in higher compressive and flexural strength. In large industrial towers, calendered hole packing can withstand the weight of the upper packing layers and gas-liquid erosion, making it less prone to collapse or deformation and offering a longer service life.
6. Strong anti-clogging ability and easy to clean.
The diamond-shaped opening design of the calendering holes makes it less likely for solid particles to get stuck; even if a small amount of impurities adhere, they are easily removed under the action of gas and liquid scouring. Compared with perforated plates, the edges of the calendering holes are smooth and burr-free, reducing the number of points where particles get stuck, making it suitable for working conditions containing trace amounts of solids.
7. Available in a variety of materials to suit various corrosive working conditions.
AYRTTER Expanded Corrugated Structured Packing allows for the selection of various metal materials depending on the media environment.
