Vacuum Resin Trap Catch Pot - Stainless Steel 2 Quart

Vacuum Resin Trap / Catch Pot – Stainless Steel, 2 Quart

Protect your vacuum pump from accidental resin ingestion during infusion and bagging. This 2-quart stainless-steel catch pot is placed between the part and the pump to create a safe drop-out chamber for stray resin. The clear acrylic lid and high-visibility gauge make it easy to monitor the pot in real time, while the industrial silicone gasket provides a fast, reliable seal that is reversible to extend service life.

Why you want a catch pot

• Creates a break in the line so excess resin drops into the pot instead of reaching the pump
• Protects expensive vacuum pumps, filters, and downstream plumbing
• Clear lid lets you see the fill level and react before overflow
• Quick to open/clean; apply a light mold release inside for easy resin puck removal

What’s included

• 2-quart stainless-steel chamber

Good practice

• Apply a light mold release to the chamber interior before use for easier cleanout.
• Place the trap at a low point relative to the line so gravity helps resin drop out.
• Regularly monitor the clear lid and gauge during infusion.
