Vacuum Traps & Filters

Vacuum traps and filters are used to protect pumps, chambers, and process equipment from contaminants, condensable vapors, and particulates. Traps prevent backstreaming of pump oils or vapors into the chamber, while filters capture dust, debris, and process byproducts. LACO offers traps and filters designed for a wide range of vacuum applications and pumping systems.
