Plastic Igel Ball 38mm 50mm 100mm
Plastic Igel Ball is a type of plastic random packing designed with a spherical shape and multiple spikes on the surface. Its special structure provides a large surface area, excellent gas-liquid contact, and low pressure drop, making it widely used in water treatment, absorption, scrubbing, and biological filtration processes.
The Plastic Igel Ball is a needle-spherical biofilter media made from materials such as PP, PE, PVC, CPVC, or PVDF. Its unique multi-needle structure, produced by injection molding, offers a large surface area that enhances mass transfer efficiency and ensures optimal fluid and gas distribution. Lightweight and buoyant, it is especially suitable for wet/dry filtration systems used in aquaculture, water treatment, and chemical engineering.
Features
- Lightweight, buoyant design that floats on water
- Low water resistance and excellent ventilation
- Flow-diversion structure for uniform distribution
- High surface area promoting bacterial growth for biological filtration
