Vacuum Catch Pot Resin Trap Pressure Accumulator Tank with Gauges for Professional Use 10L
Description
Description
Vacuum Catch Pot / Resin Trap / Vacuum Accumulator – 10 L (2.6 gal) with Gauges
This professional-grade catch pot is a must-have for composite vacuum work. Used between the part and the vacuum pump, it serves both as a resin trap (protects your pump from accidental resin carry-over) and as a vacuum accumulator to stabilize the system during draw-down and hold. The compact steel vessel includes industrial quick-release fittings and liquid-filled vacuum gauge(s) for clear, stable readings. A built-in vacuum relief valve lets you fine-tune vacuum level when needed.
Key Features
- Capacity: 10 L (≈2.6 gal) aluminum/steel vessel (catch pot / accumulator).
- Function: Protects pump by trapping resin; adds volume to smooth vacuum changes.
- Connections: Two ports—one to the part/manifold, one to the pump—for in-line installation.
- Instrumentation: Liquid-filled gauge(s) for stable, easy-to-read vacuum indication.
- Control: Integrated vacuum relief valve for fine adjustment during setup or cure.
- Hardware: Industrial quick-release couplers for fast hose changes.
- Use Cases: Resin infusion (VARTM), vacuum bagging, degassing setups, and general vacuum shop use.
Placement & Use
- Install the pot between the laminate/manifold and the pump.
- Keep vessel upright and monitor level—empty before resin approaches the outlet side.
- Use vacuum-rated hose and sealant; leak-check before production pulls.
- Vacuum service only. Do not use as a pressure pot.
