Ceramic Saddles(Intalox)
Ceramic Saddles(Intalox)are divided into two different types of products according to their properties, one is often used in the field of Chemical and Petrochemical industries, another is mainly used in environmental areas such as RTO(Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers) equipments.
But both of them are the most frequently used high-performance packing and exhibit advantages for most applications in comparison with other shapes. Their smooth surface imparts a high chemical resistance and provides Ceramic Intalox saddle rings (Ceramic Saddles ) with a high level of stability. Due to their simple form, ceramic saddles can be produced at a relatively low cost.
