Metal Nutter Ring(SS304, SS316, SS316L, SS410)

The Metal Nutter Ring was designed by Dale Nutter in 1984 as a new type of high-performance random packing.
It has a unique saddle-shaped design with flanging reinforced ribs on both sides and several holes on the back.
This special structure improves surface utilization and enhances efficiency in mass transfer processes.

Compared with traditional packings, the Metal Nutter Ring provides high mechanical strength, excellent liquid distribution,
and superior surface contact. These features allow for shorter packed beds, reduced pressure drop, and higher operational efficiency.
It is widely applied in drying towers, absorption towers, and washing towers.

As a professional manufacturer of random packing, we supply Metal Nutter Rings in stainless steel (SS304, SS316, SS316L, SS410) and carbon steel.
Different materials are available to meet diverse process requirements in the chemical, petrochemical, and environmental industries.
