Vacuum Pump Inlet Traps for ALD Extract Particulates and Absorb Unreacted Precursors

VACUUM PUMP INLET TRAPS FOR ALD

MV Vacuum Inlet Traps for ALD processes can be easily customized by the user to remove all process byproducts from precursors such as TMA, TiCl, DeZ, and H2S including particulates and unreacted precursors. Available for both research and production applications, they come in sizes ranging from 4” to 16” dia. with port sizes from NW-25 to ISO-160 for protecting vacuum pumps and lines with flow rates from 25 to 2000 CFM.

Featuring interchangeable filter elements, MV Vacuum Inlet Traps for ALD processes are made of stainless steel and include the PosiTrap in 4” and 8” dia. sizes and the MultiTrap in 12” and 16”. Filters include stainless steel gauze for particles, activated charcoal for unreacted precursor adsorption, Sodasorb for acid neutralization, Sulfatreat for H2S neutralization, and Ammoiniasorb for NH3 and Amines.

Non-Genuine Spare Parts and Oils: The Hidden Costs to Vacuum Pump Efficiency

26.08.2026 -

In vacuum technology, precision and reliability are critical. Whatever the application, vacuum equipment must always provide the same level of performance in order to produce consistent results. Non-genuine components may look the same as genuine parts, but their inconsistent quality can reduce efficiency, compromise reliability, and increase total cost-of-ownership. This article explains how genuine spare parts and oil preserve vacuum pump efficiency, reliability and performance, and outlines the risks of substandard substitutes.

Vacuum pumps are essential to many manufacturing and processing applications, but they are also a source of heat. While modern vacuum pumps are efficient and minimize this heat loss, a certain amount of heat generation is a natural by-product of vacuum generation that can never be completely avoided. Traditionally, much of this heat is allowed to dissipate into the surrounding environment.
