Reduced trapping efficiency
The failure you do not see until the pump downstream starts suffering.
Vacuum system protection
Vapor trap service
An inexpensive component whose failure damages far more expensive equipment downstream.
Why us for this
Specialised, not general
Vapor traps protect vacuum pumps and instrumentation. Their maintenance is routinely deferred, and the cost of that deferral lands somewhere else.
Brands serviced
Thermo Fisher Scientific vapor trap product lines and comparable systems.
Common faults
What usually goes wrong
Most of these are progressive. Caught early they are maintenance items; caught late they are emergencies.
Refrigeration performance loss
A trap that is not cold enough is not trapping.
Ice and condensate build-up
Restricts flow and reduces effectiveness progressively.
Seal and connection leaks
Small vacuum leaks degrade whole-system performance.
Service scope
What a visit covers
- Refrigeration system service
- Trapping efficiency assessment
- Seal and connection inspection
- Defrost and drainage checks
- Integration check with downstream vacuum equipment
Included with plans
Put this on a schedule
Reactive service means every fault arrives as an emergency. A preventive maintenance plan turns most of them into a line item on a calendar instead.

Questions
About vapor traps
It depends entirely on duty cycle and what you are pulling through it. Heavy solvent use warrants far more frequent attention. We will recommend an interval for your actual usage.
