Description
Duke‘s Metal supplies support grids for packed towers designed to support random or structured packing while maintaining the open area required for vapor and liquid flow. These internals are used in distillation, absorption, stripping, and other mass transfer applications where reliable bed support is essential.
Support grids are designed for use in a wide range of tower configurations and process conditions. They are commonly applied where stable packing support, mechanical integrity, and efficient flow distribution are required for long-term tower performance.

Types of Support Grids
Duke’s Metal supplies different support grid designs to meet various tower configurations and process requirements.
Bar & Beam Support Grid
Designed for high mechanical strength and load-bearing applications. Suitable for large-diameter columns and heavy packing beds.
Flat Support Grid A compact design commonly used in smaller towers where sufficient packing support and open area are required. Profile Support Grid Provides enhanced rigidity and load capacity through reinforced structural design, making it suitable for demanding industrial applications. Custom Support Grid
Custom-fabricated support grids are available according to customer drawings, tower dimensions, and installation requirements.
Applications of Support grids
Support grids are essential tower internals used in:
- Distillation Columns
- Absorption Towers
- Stripping Columns
- Scrubbers
- Petrochemical Plants
- Oil & Gas Processing
- Chemical Processing
- Environmental Protection Systems
They are commonly installed with structured packing, random packing, liquid distributors, and hold down devices to improve tower performance.
