MV Products is introducing a line of vacuum foreline traps for manufacturing processes that create large volumes of solid byproducts such as those used for producing solar cells, HB-LEDs, and Li-ion batteries.
Problem
Vacuum pump lifetimes can be impacted by byproducts used for deposition processing, raising manufacturing costs and disrupting production due to forced downtime for repair or replacement.
Solution
Featuring user-selectable filter elements, MV Vacuum Inlet Traps include the ‘MV Multi-Trap’ which has a knock-down stage plus two stages of filter elements and is capable of up to 2,500 cu. in. of solids accumulation, and the ‘Posi-Trap’ for applications up to 50 CFM. Both are offered in several sizes with stainless steel, copper gauze, molecular sieve, activated charcoal, pleated polypropylene (2-, 5- and 20 µm pore sizes), and ‘Sodasorb’ filters.
Applications
Suited for MOCVD, HVPE, PECVD, or LPCVD processes used in manufacturing solar cells, HB-LEDs, and Li-Ion batteries which generate high volumes of particulates.
Platform
Offered in several models to accommodate different manufacturing process applications and volume requirements, they can incorporate a wide range of filters for trapping solids, organic solvents, and other contaminants and protecting vacuum pump systems from oil back streaming.
Availability
Currently available.
