What Can Be Improved about Ceramic Saddle Rings?

Ceramic saddle rings are used in various towers and are one of the important materials in tower packing. They are extremely important in terms of mechanical strength and are also the key to the success of mass transfer. In the 1960s, ceramic packing was tried in sulfuric acid production in my country. It has low fluid resistance and good mass transfer performance, but the operable mechanical strength is too low, which leads to an increase in the loss rate of enterprises in transportation, loading and unloading and use, thereby increasing the cost of enterprises. In recent years, with the demand of various enterprises for step ring packing, ceramic packing manufacturers are also constantly innovating to meet customer needs.

At present, ceramic saddle ring packing has been optimized and improved in three aspects.

1. The composition of ceramic clay

Pingxiang is known as the "China Industrial Ceramics Capital". The composition of ceramic clay is mainly selected from Pingxiang's local mineral resources "kaolin", which is an ideal choice for the production of ceramic acid-resistant packing.

2. Improve the structural design of ceramic saddle rings

In order to improve the mechanical strength of saddle rings, ceramic packing manufacturers have conducted a large number of practical tests,

The company simulates the work of overhauling and cleaning packing. The final results show that the arc connection between the rib plate and the ring wall can eliminate stress concentration. This method can improve the mechanical strength of the saddle ring and make the structure of the ceramic step ring more perfect.

3. The wall thickness problem of the filler

Increasing the wall thickness of the ceramic saddle ring can certainly improve the mechanical strength of the filler, but in actual operation, the gap of the filler layer will become smaller after the thickness increases, the liquid flooding speed will decrease, and the resistance will increase. Therefore, after many experiments, the effect of increasing the mechanical strength by increasing the wall thickness is not significant. At present, the general standard of ceramic fillers is maintained: the wall thickness is equal to 1/10 of the diameter.

While Chemshun manufacturing products, ceramic filler manufacturers have been continuously optimizing and improving products, seeking high-quality porcelain clay components, firing temperatures during production, and increasing mechanical strength. To meet customer needs as a prerequisite, thereby reducing corporate costs
