Oil Mist Trap TM/TMX Series
When an oil rotary pump is started at atmospheric pressure, and operated during low vacuum operation, the pump oil is exhausted along with the exhaust gas that is pumped out. The TM and TMX series oil mist traps help to ensure a clean working environment and protect indoor equipment from contamination that would otherwise be caused by this oil mist.
- Removes Oil Droplets (“smoke”)
The amount of pump oil replenishment is greatly reduced
due to drastic decrease of pump oil consumption by oil
spread. - Excellent Noise Reduction Effect
Noise is most effectively reduced when the pump starts
from atmospheric pressure, during low vacuum pumping,
and during gas ballast operations. Low frequency noise is
particularly reduced. - Selectable Oil Recovery Method (optional)
When the oil mist trap is used with trapped oil remaining in
it, the filter lifespan is decreased and pump problems may
occur.
Recovery method of the trapped oil is dependent on pump
operating conditions, please consult ULVAC for advice
about your particular pumping task and to help ensure
suitable components for your application. - Easy Connection to Pump
Since the connection ports of TM series units are made to
match standard pump exhaust ports, attachment is easy.
(An adapter is required when TM-2(F) is attached to VD601
and VD901) - The Internal Filter Element is a Replaceable Cartridge
Replacing this filter cartridge is easy. (An adapter is
required when changing filters of old TM-3,4, and 4S
models to cartridge filters)
*1 Be sure to use an oil mist trap that is suitable for the pumping speed of the
pump and the volume of the chamber which is being evacuated.
*2 An adapter is required for attachment to PVD series, VD151 and VD201.
*3 Oil recovery cannot be used with TMX-1 and TMX-2 models.
*4 Conversion to a cartridge filter is not possible for TMX-1, TMX-2, and TM-2
(old model) units.
