Support Plate Model SPL521

Support Plate Model SPL521 is a gas injection type support plate designed for random packed beds in towers generally > 900 mm (36 inches) diameter. It is designed for higher mechanical strength. The beams are made in single units that pass through a manhole. Special variants of this support plate are available to handle very tall beds. The model SPL521 Gas Injection Support Plate is also available in most metals and in thermo plastic materials.

Very tall beds together with larger column diameters result in higher mechanical loads. In such cases, support plates are supported using I-beams in conjunction with a tray support ring.
