Column packing apparatus and packing method

Abstract

A column packing apparatus includes a tubular structure, a packing material supplier disposed on one end of the tubular structure for permitting a packing material slurry formed by a packing material dispersed in a solvent to be packed into the tubular structure, and a packing controller disposed on the other end of the tubular structure for determining the flow rate and pressure of the packing material slurry formed by the packing material being packed so that they can be maintained at predetermined flow rate and pressure level. A column packing method includes the steps of providing a packing controller disposed on the other end of the tubular structure, and permitting the packing controller to variably adjust the flow rate and pressure of the packing material slurry so that they can be maintained at the predetermined flow rate and pressure level.
