Support Ring/Spacer: Thickness 2-10 mm (standard)

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered annular component designed to maintain consistent spacing and alignment between static mixer elements within a mixing chamber. It ensures proper flow distribution, prevents element contact, and supports structural integrity during fluid processing operations.

Working Principle

The support ring/spacer functions by providing a fixed gap between adjacent static mixer elements through its annular geometry. It absorbs axial loads, prevents lateral movement, and maintains the designed flow path geometry to ensure consistent mixing efficiency and prevent turbulence or dead zones.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 316L), PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), PEEK (Polyether ether ketone), or aluminum alloys depending on chemical compatibility and temperature requirements
