Edwards FL20K Foreline Vacuum Pump Oil Mist Trap with Activated Alumina Sorbent
Product Description
The Edwards FL20K foreline inlet trap is engineered for clean vacuum pumping systems, preventing rotary pump oil mist back-migration into vacuum lines. Featuring a durable cast aluminum body and a removable basket packed with activated alumina sorbent, it achieves 99.7% oil mist trapping efficiency, essential for maintaining system cleanliness in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics laboratories.
Key technical features include:
- Compatibility with two-stage rotary pumps operating below 1 mbar, including models RV3, RV5, RV8, RV12, E2M2, E2M5, E2M8, E2M12, E1M18, E2M18, and E2M28.
- ISO KF25 (NW25) inlet and exhaust flanges ensure easy integration with standard vacuum system components.
- Activated alumina sorbent is rejuvenatable by baking at 250–300°C for 2 hours, extending operational life and cost efficiency.
- Trap dimensions: Length 4 in (10.2 cm), Width 3 in (7.6 cm), Height 6 in (15.2 cm), with a weight of 2 lb (0.91 kg).
- The design tolerates water absorption without compromising oil mist trapping, which can be managed via a valve by-pass line.
Widely used in bioprocessing, synthetic biology, and biomanufacturing pipelines, the FL20K oil mist trap supports reliable vacuum performance by protecting sensitive vacuum pumps from contamination caused by oil vapors. This component is critical in molecular cloning workflows and clinical diagnostics where vacuum purity affects experimental fidelity. The Edwards FL20K thus provides an essential filtration solution within vacuum systems, helping maintain operational integrity crucial for demanding biotech and biomedical research applications.
