Vacuum Pump Traps, Filters & Mist Eliminators

Protect your vacuum pump, reduce oil mist, capture contaminants, and keep vacuum systems running cleaner.

Vacuum traps, inlet filters, exhaust filters, mist eliminators, and replacement filter elements help protect pumps and surrounding work areas from oil vapor, particulates, process contamination, and backstreaming.

Select the filter or trap type below to find compatible assemblies, replacement elements, and accessories for vacuum pump maintenance.

Common applications:
Laboratories, vacuum ovens, freeze dryers, rotary vane pumps, oil-sealed pumps, vacuum chambers, process vacuum systems, medical equipment, and research facilities.

Maintenance tip:
A clogged exhaust filter or inlet filter can reduce pump performance, increase operating temperature, create oil mist, and shorten pump life. Replace filter elements regularly.
