Porcelain Berl Saddles Description
Berl saddles are column packings that are usually formed in a saddle shape for distillation. Their design enables an even distribution of vapour and liquid on both the internal and external sides of the saddle. Their purpose is to fully expose the packing.
Porcelain Berl saddles are suitable for vacuum distillation, absorption and extraction. The saddles provide an extensive usable surface area, reduced resistance to gas flow and effective internal distribution.
