MAXTRAP50 Vacuum Cold Trap

There are numerous laboratory grade cold traps on the market and everyone agrees they are a best practice tool for preserving/extending vacuum pump life or the time between vacuum pump maintenance. Cascade’s MAXTRAP50 is not an ordinary lab-grade cold trap. Cascade has taken their extensive knowledge of vacuum best practices and integrated the features necessary for customers with time-sensitive, high-throughput, production-focused vacuum purging or drying applications.

MAXTRAP Tips:
Safety - At very cold temperatures, solvents and even oxygen can re-condense back into liquid. This is potentially explosive. Liquid oxygen is a light blue color and can condense into a cold trap if a pump has sucked air through the trap when the trap is very cold. Always follow your standard operating procedures and safety guidelines.

Don’t Stop: Keep Processing while trap is being reclaimed, cleaned, refreshed
Cold traps can become full or the captured material freezes and blocks flow. For high moisture, outgassing, 24 hour processing/vacuum purging consider adding a second, spare COLDWELL trap.

The secondary COLDWELL can be dropped into place so processing continues while the full trap is cleaned, defrosted.

Quick Start Up Tips:

• Remove shipping foam from reservoir bottom prior to use
• Fill reservoir with 800ml (+/-3.5 cups) ethanol to marked line
• Monitor ethanol levels inside reservoir
• Allow at least 30 mins for trap to cool
• Keep side vents clear. Allow at least 4″ for airflow
• Monitor interior of stainless trap for clogging
• Short tube – attach to vacuum pump
• Tall tube – attach to vacuum oven
