These vacuum-sealed tanks are installed in the vacuum bagging process between the mold and the vacuum pump to capture excess resin that enters the vacuum line. Resin traps are an integral part of all vacuum infusion and vacuum bagging processes. Our Stainless Steel resin traps come equipped with clear lids that allow you to easily monitor resin accumulation.
NOTE:
If large amounts of mixed resin remain in the feed pot or accumulate in the catch pot, the resin can become very hot indeed. In extreme circumstances, the resin can actually start smoking as it reaches very high temperatures.
Keep an eye of the catch pot and wait for the exotherm to die down.
TIPS:
Apply mold release to all interior surfaces of the resin trap prior to lay-up for easy clean-up once the vacuum process is complete.
Additional containers can be placed in the large tank to collect the resin.
