Forbes Marshall’s range of process steam traps are engineered to maximise plant productivity, energy efficiency, and product quality in processes across industries such as textiles, pharmaceuticals, breweries, food and beverages, and chemicals etc. These advanced ball float type traps and pump traps ensure continuous, instantaneous condensate evacuation, a critical function that prevents equipment waterlogging, heat exchanger stalling, and uneven heating. By immediately removing condensate as it forms, the traps ensure precise temperature control, reduce batch times, significantly lower steam consumption, and eliminate the need for manual bypass valves, addressing the challenge of condensate accumulation that impedes heat transfer and prolongs processing cycles.
Our process steam trap range includes innovative solutions designed to handle the complex and varying demands of industrial processes. The patented Compact Module Two Orifice Float Traps (CMTOFT / TOFT) offer high turndown by intelligently operating two orifices to manage massive differences between high start-up loads and normal running loads, yielding substantial steam savings. The industry-standard Single Orifice Float Traps (SOFT) guarantee zero live steam loss with a buoyancy-modulated float mechanism for instantaneous discharge. For conditions where equipment’s steam pressure drops below the total backpressure, our Steam Operated Pump Traps (SOPT) actively pump out condensate to prevent stall conditions, corrosion, and water hammer. Completing the range, the Multi-utility Process Traps (MuPT) are integrated solutions that improve condensate recovery by detecting and diverting contaminated condensate based on TDS and temperature, and feature in-built trap monitoring.
