Vacuum Traps

Vacuum traps and vacuum filters are utilized to protect pumps from vapors and particles, minimize oil backstreaming from oil-sealed pumps, minimize oil misting of rotary vane pumps, trap toxic or corrosive chemicals and vapors, and extend pump oil life by filtration.

A vacuum inlet trap (VIT) protects vacuum pumps, by condensing, absorbing, and neutralizing process byproducts from applications that generate volatiles, organic solvents, and acids. A molecular sieve trap contains tiny pores of a precise and uniform size that is used as an adsorbent for gases and liquids.
