Foreline Traps

 

These rechargeable in-line traps effectively block oil backstreaming from mechanical pumps. Any mechanically pumped system, even one with a turbo pump, should have a foreline trap. The trap is positioned in the foreline between the roughing pump and the diffusion or turbo pump. It uses a disposable, oxygen-free copper maze absorbent which requires no liquid nitrogen and will not hold water. Typically the maze is replaced every year. The seamless body is available in aluminium.

• A quick change clamp for replacement of maze

• Available in five pipe diameters

• An O-ring end cap

• A recessed screen

Replacement elements are also available
