Applications

  • Machine tool sumps
  • Individual, regional and/or central coolant systems
  • Washer filters
  • Processes utilizing water-soluble, semi-synthetic, synthetic, and wash solutions

Benefits

  • Reliable Oil Separation

    The main problem with oil separation systems is dealing with floating solids like aluminum chips, sediment, and/or cast-iron grinding swarf. Competitive systems tend to plug at the difficult-to-clean areas; skimmer head, pump suction pipe, and inside the decant tank. Solutions:

    • The H.O.S.S. was developed to eliminate plugging at the skimmer float suction supply tube
    • The H.O.S.S. system has easily removable coalescent plates for ease of cleaning
    • The optional conveyorized system will remove any solids that settle to the bottom of the decant tank
  • Features & Benefits

    • Robust stainless steel tank construction for a long service life
    • Low maintenance for lower operational costs
    • Extends the life of industrial coolant fluids and wash solutions by effectively removing tramp oil
    • Level seeking, non-plugging ball float skimmer pick up head
    • A reliable pump transfers skimmed surface oil to the oil separation decant tank
  • Optional Features

    • Pump suction pipe backflow design eliminates plugging at the floating suction head (Electric Pump Option)
    • Solids and sludge that have settled to the bottom of the oil separation decant tank are removed by a chain and flight conveyor (optional)
    • Level switches and electrical controls
    • Holding tank for removed tramp oil
    • Tramp oil tank discharge pump
    • Additional options upon customer request
  • Basic Operation

    • The level-seeking skimmer head (ball float assembly) skims the surface of the liquid inside the filter tank
    • An air-operated diaphragm or electric centrifugal pump draws the liquid through the suction piping and discharges it into the oil separation decant tank
    • The oil and coolant solution are separated using a uniquely designed decant tank with laminar plates
    • The separated oil is then gravity discharged into a waste container and the clean, processed fluid is gravity discharged back to the filter tank
    • Suspended solids that settle to the bottom of the decant tank will be conveyed out through the discharge chute (on conveyorized units only)
