KEM-LOX
Saddle Style Packing
The high capacity Kemlox plastic saddle offers distinct advantages over conventional saddle design. The serrated edges promote high mass transfer rates through effective liquid surface renewal.
The serrated edges of the Kemlox saddle reduce bed settling during operation and assist to maintain packing free space and create lower column pressure drop. The Kemlox Plastic saddles are available in 1”, 2”, and 3” sizes. They are available in 5 and 10 cubic foot cardboard boxes. The proper installation is by dry dumping with reasonable care. Kem-lox saddles made of Polypropylene (PP) have been certified by NSF to Standard 61 for water treatment plant.
