Intalox Saddle Ring


Product Overview

INTALOX Saddle Ring, introduced by NORTON in the 1970s, is an innovative random packing that combines the best features of perforated ring and saddle designs for enhanced chemical and environmental processes.
Its open sidewall structure facilitates smooth liquid-vapor flow, ensuring optimal liquid hold-up, improving distribution, and creating efficient vapor paths to boost overall performance in applications like absorption and stripping.
Available in sizes of 16, 25, 40, 50, or 70 mm and a variety of materials including stainless steel (SS), carbon steel (CS), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), Monel, polypropylene (PP), reinforced PP (RPP), PVC, CPVC, ceramic, or custom options, this durable packing is designed for versatility and long-term reliability in demanding industrial setting

Key benefits include:

Lower pressure drop than traditional packings like Pall Ring, resulting in energy savings and reduced operational costs.
Higher flux and efficiency, enabling greater throughput and improved mass transfer in high-demand processes.
Enhanced liquid distribution and vapor flow, which minimizes channeling and ensures consistent performance with better liquid retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Tower Packing Questions Answered

Discover quick answers to common questions about INTALOX Saddle Ring to help you select the best solution for your separation processes.

How does INTALOX Saddle Ring make my process more efficient and reduce waste?

INTALOX Saddle Ring's unique design combines the strengths of ring and saddle packings for better gas-liquid contact, boosting efficiency by up to 25% compared to standard Pall Rings, which means less wasted energy and higher throughput in your towers. Its open structure improves liquid distribution and minimizes dead zones, so you get consistent results even in tricky applications like acid gas removal. With sizes ranging from 16 to 70 mm, it helps cut operational downtime and ensures your system runs smoother from the start.

Why does INTALOX Saddle Ring lower pressure drop and save me money on energy?

This packing has an open sidewall that reduces pressure drop to as low as 10-40 mm H₂O/m, much better than traditional options, so your equipment uses less power and saves money—potentially cutting annual energy costs by 15-20% in a typical column. It handles higher gas flows without overloading, making it a smart choice for energy-conscious operations like flue gas treatment. Plus, the lower resistance means less strain on your system, helping it last longer and reducing unexpected repairs.

Can INTALOX Saddle Ring prevent clogging in dirty or high-load conditions?

Its smooth, open design resists fouling by allowing easy liquid and vapor movement, so it can handle high solid loads or dirty streams without frequent cleaning—unlike older packings that clog up quickly. This means fewer interruptions in processes like wastewater scrubbing, with users reporting up to 50% less maintenance compared to similar products. Choose the right material, like PP or ceramic, to further protect against corrosion, giving you peace of mind in tough environments.

What sizes and materials can I get, and how do I pick the best one for my needs?

INTALOX Saddle Ring comes in easy-to-select sizes of 16, 25, 40, 50, or 70 mm—smaller sizes for high-efficiency setups and larger ones for better flow in bigger towers—and materials like stainless steel, PP, PVC, or ceramic to suit your chemical conditions. Start by considering your flow rates and corrosion risks; for example, use 25 mm PP for moderate-duty tasks to balance cost and performance without overcomplicating things. We offer a quick selection tool on our site to help you choose and avoid common pitfalls.

When should I use INTALOX Saddle Ring, and how do I know it will work reliably?

It's ideal for gas absorption, distillation, and scrubbing tasks where you need steady performance, like removing VOCs or SO₂, and its design delivers reliable results with minimal fuss. Real-world examples show it maintains 95% efficiency over long runs, backed by data from plants where it's run for years with few issues, so you can trust it to handle your specific challenges. Plus, with versatile materials and proven longevity, it's a low-risk upgrade that pays off in reliability and cost savings.
