14 litre plaster trap with stainless steel lid for dental laboratory
The Jeb economical 14 litre plaster trap helps dental laboratories manage wastewater loaded with dental plaster, gypsum particles, mineral residues, abrasive dust and sludge generated during daily model work.
Installed under the sink, it works by gravity separation to retain part of the heavier deposits before they enter the laboratory drainage system.

Why use a plaster trap in a dental laboratory?
During plaster model trimming, model preparation, instrument cleaning or workstation rinsing, wastewater carries a high amount of solid particles.
These residues mainly include dental plaster, gypsum particles, mineral dust, abrasives and sludge generated by routine laboratory procedures.
Installing an under-sink plaster trap slows down and separates part of these residues before they reach the drainage pipework, helping to reduce progressive build-up in the laboratory waste system.
Why do plaster residues block laboratory drains?
During trimming, finishing and cleaning operations, plaster particles are carried by water into the drainage system.
Without a plaster trap, these residues gradually settle and accumulate inside the pipework over time.
- Progressive build-up of sludge and mineral deposits.
- Reduced water flow at the wet workstation.
- Long-term risk of blocked drainage lines.
- More frequent drain and pipe maintenance.
What are the consequences for the dental laboratory?
Poor management of plaster residues can disrupt the daily organisation of the dental laboratory and make wet workstation maintenance more demanding.
- More frequent cleaning of drain outlets.
- Heavier maintenance of wet areas.
- Risk of saturation when sludge is not retained beforehand.
- Less efficient management of plaster-related waste.
These situations are particularly relevant for laboratories that regularly produce plaster models, carry out CAD/CAM model work, trim casts or use a wet model trimmer.
How does the Jeb 14 litre plaster trap reduce sludge build-up?
The Jeb plaster trap works on a simple principle of gravity separation. As wastewater passes through the tank, the flow slows down, encouraging the heavier particles to settle naturally inside the internal compartments.
The three removable baffles improve the separation of residues and make the tank easier to clean. This design helps retain a significant part of the sludge before it reaches the drainage network.
The stainless steel lid provides a robust finish and allows easy access to the internal compartments during inspection or periodic maintenance.
Applications and benefits of a plaster trap in a dental laboratory
Professional applications
Wet model trimming stations
Collection of part of the plaster residue generated during model preparation, trimming and adjustment.
Model preparation areas
Management of water loaded with mineral particles, abrasive dust and deposits from routine dental laboratory procedures.
Instrument cleaning stations
Pre-separation of residues carried by rinsing water before discharge into the drainage system.
Benefits for the laboratory
- Compact format suitable for under-sink installation.
- 14 litre capacity suitable for many dental laboratories.
- Three removable baffles for easier maintenance.
- Robust and clean-looking stainless steel lid.
- Economical solution, simple to install and use.
- Quick access to the internal compartments.
- Reduced solid deposits entering the pipework.
- Simplified maintenance of wet workstations.
Under-sink installation and plaster trap maintenance
This model is designed for under-sink installation with a standard Ø 40 mm drain connection. Its compact format makes it easier to integrate into many dental laboratory technical cabinets.
Before installation, it is recommended to check the available space under the cabinet and the height of the drainage outlet. The pipework leading to the waste system must remain lower than the trap to allow proper gravity flow.
The three removable baffles make it easier to remove accumulated deposits. Regular visual inspection helps maintain good separation efficiency and prevents progressive saturation of the tank.
The use of a flocculant for plaster traps can improve fine-particle sedimentation in laboratories generating significant quantities of plaster residue.
Regular inspection of the compartments
Visual inspection of the internal compartments helps determine when the sludge needs to be removed.
Regular cleaning prevents trap saturation and helps maintain correct water flow at the wet workstation.
- Check the level of deposits periodically.
- Remove the internal baffles to simplify cleaning.
- Clean the tank before it becomes fully saturated.
- Reinstall the baffles correctly before use.
Use with flocculant
The plaster trap works naturally through gravity separation, but a flocculant can improve sedimentation efficiency in laboratories producing a high volume of fine particles.
The flocculant helps fine particles agglomerate, encouraging them to settle in the internal compartments of the trap.
What is the difference between a 14 litre plaster trap and a large-capacity model?
| Criterion | Economical 14 L plaster trap | Large-capacity plaster trap |
|---|---|---|
| Footprint | Compact under-sink format | Larger installation volume |
| Maintenance | More frequent but simple cleaning | Longer intervals between cleaning operations |
| Capacity | 14 litres | Higher sludge retention volume |
| Use | Standard dental laboratory activity | More intensive laboratory workflow |
| Positioning | Economical compact solution | More substantial installation |

FAQ – Plaster trap for dental laboratory
Why does plaster block dental laboratory drains?
Plaster particles carried by wastewater tend to settle naturally when they circulate through drain pipes.
Over time, these deposits can form sludge that progressively reduces water flow. A plaster trap helps retain part of these residues before they reach the drainage system, reducing the gradual fouling of the laboratory pipework.
What capacity of plaster trap should a dental laboratory choose?
The choice mainly depends on the laboratory workload and the amount of residue generated each day.
A 14 litre model is suitable for many standard dental laboratories or wet workstations producing a moderate quantity of plaster residue. Laboratories with more intensive activity may prefer a larger-capacity model to extend the interval between maintenance operations.
Is flocculant required for proper separation?
No, the plaster trap works naturally through gravity separation.
However, using a flocculant can improve the agglomeration of fine particles and accelerate their deposit in the internal compartments, especially during procedures that generate a large amount of plaster residue. GipEx Tabs flocculant can be used as a complementary product according to the needs of the laboratory.
Can this plaster trap be installed under any laboratory sink?
In most cases, yes, provided that the available space under the cabinet, the outlet height and the position of the drainage line are checked before installation.
The Ø 40 mm connection makes it easier to integrate into many existing installations. The outlet pipe must remain lower than the trap to allow proper gravity flow towards the drainage system.
What is the difference between a 14 litre plaster trap and a large-capacity model?
Large-capacity models provide more volume for sludge retention and generally allow longer intervals between cleaning operations.
The 14 litre model focuses on compactness, simple installation and a more economical purchase cost. It is suitable for standard laboratories, under-sink workstations and installations where available space is limited.
A compact solution to help protect laboratory drains
The Jeb economical 14 litre plaster trap is a simple and efficient solution for limiting the amount of plaster sludge, mineral particles and heavy residues entering the dental laboratory drainage system.
With its under-sink installation, standard Ø 40 mm connection, three removable baffles and stainless steel lid, it integrates easily into wet workstations used for cleaning, model preparation and wet model trimming.
For a laboratory looking to manage wastewater more effectively without installing a bulky system, this 14 litre plaster trap offers a compact, economical and easy-to-maintain solution.
