Filter Elements
Vacuum Filter Elements for all Processes and Systems
- Multiple vacuum filter media choices for different applications (refer to chart below)
- Easy changing vacuum filter cartridges
- Easily upgrade your traps as your needs change
- Save valuable time not breaking down your entire vacuum system to change elements
Protect the vacuum pump from corrosive and abrasive chemicals and particles present in the vacuum system. Make pumps last longer, cut maintenance costs and prevent system down time. Our vacuum inlet traps range from single filter element units to multiple stage traps utilizing 16 individual filter elements for the most demanding applications.
All of our vacuum inlet traps utilize replaceable filter elements. Two sizes are offered, depending upon the trap requirements.
Available Vacuum Filters
SOME COMMON FILTER APPLICATIONS
Available Vacuum Filters
| Copper gauze | Large surface area traps condensable particles and oil vapors |
| Stainless steel gauze | Same as copper, but with added corrosion protection |
| Molecular sieve | Reduces mechanical pump backstreaming and traps water vapor |
| Soda Lime | Minimizes migration of corrosive chemicals and neutralizes acidic vapors |
| Activated charcoal | Removes organic vapors |
| Activated alumina | Removes Lewis acids, polar compounds, other acids, water and particles |
| Merc-Sorb | Removes Mercury Vapors |
| Amoniasorb | Removes Ammonia and Amine Vapors |
| Sulfatreat | Removes Hydrogen Sulfide Vapors |
| Potassium Permanganate | Removes Hydrogen Peroxide Vapors |
| Chlorosorb | Removes Chlorine Vapors |
| PolyPro 2 micron | Traps high volumes of solids and particulates as small as 2 microns; available in three sizes |
| PolyPro 5 micron | Same as above |
| PolyPro 20 micron | Same as above |
