Raschig rings made from 3.3 Borosilicate glass are available in sizes ranging from 8 mm to 50 mm.
Raschig rings upto 25mm are made from Neutral glass. 40mm and 50mm raschig rings are available only in Borosilicate glass.
Column Packing Solutions for Distillation and Separation
At Goel Impex, we specialize in manufacturing and supplying premium Column Packing solutions for a wide range of scientific, industrial, and laboratory applications. Designed for maximum efficiency in mass transfer and separation processes, our packed columns including glass raschig rings, are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries.
What is Column Packing?
Column packing refers to the material used inside a packed column to improve surface contact between gas and liquid phases. This facilitates better heat and mass transfer, essential in processes like distillation, absorption, and chemical reactions.

Notes on the Use of Column Packing
- Due to their low bulk densities, Glass Raschig rings are particularly suitable for packing glass columns.
- Generally, the ratio of Column diameter to packing diameter should not be less than 8:1.
- When using smaller packing size, a small layer of larger packing should be used on packing support, to prevent the smaller packing falling through.
- In vacuum application and applications involving high vapour velocities, packing may be lifted and may damage to other parts. To prevent this, a packing retainer (PTFE perforated plates) should be used above the packed section.
