The compact design of the Eriez Hydroflow Portable Tramp Oil Separator is an ideal choice for small metalworking plants. The high-speed centrifuge built into the portable separator delivers exceptionally clean fluid with tramp oil levels below 0.5 percent and metallic solids in the 2 to 5µm range.
Reducing tramp oil is a high priority for all metalworking shops. Excess tramp oil leads to smoke, mist and bacterial infestation of the metalworking fluids, and adversely affects surface finish and reduces tool and dimensional tolerance control. Installing the Eriez Portable Tramp Oil Separator extends the life of coolants and cleaners, improves machining and preserves valuable tools.
Eriez Portable Tramp Oil Separator recycles fluids at the sump by placing two hoses directly into the machine sump, removing free and emulsified tramp oils from water miscible coolants and aqueous cleaners while the machine tool continues to operate. Features of the Portable Tramp Oil Separator include stainless steel hood and bowl, built-in clean fluid centripetal discharge pump, quick disconnects on feed and discharge, strainer and 50-micron cleanable pre-filter and air pump, and floating skimmer for feed.
The simple operation of the Portable Tramp Oil Separator is perfect for small metalworking plants with a limited crew. The stainless steel bowl can be easily dismantled for cleaning and the automatic shut-off kicks in when the tramp oil collection tank is full.
Related Glossary Terms
- centrifuge
centrifuge
Filtering device that uses a spinning bowl and the differences in specific gravities of materials to separate one from another. A centrifuge can be used to separate loosely emulsified and free oils from water-diluted metalworking fluid mixes and to remove metalworking fluids from chips.
- feed
feed
Rate of change of position of the tool as a whole, relative to the workpiece while cutting.
- metalworking
metalworking
Any manufacturing process in which metal is processed or machined such that the workpiece is given a new shape. Broadly defined, the term includes processes such as design and layout, heat-treating, material handling and inspection.
- tolerance
tolerance
Minimum and maximum amount a workpiece dimension is allowed to vary from a set standard and still be acceptable.
- tramp oil
tramp oil
Oil that is present in a metalworking fluid mix that is not from the product concentrate. The usual sources are machine tool lubrication system leaks.
