Eriez HydroFlow Portable Tramp Oil Separators, including a high speed, manually cleaned disc bowl centrifuge, feature a compact, mobile design to provide metalworking plants with true, high speed centrifugation. Completely assembled on wheels, these powerful units are designed to extract fluid from both small individual machine sumps as well as larger central systems.
Eriez HydroFlow Portable Tramp Oil Separators easily remove both free and emulsified tramp oils to 0.5 percent or less and particulate matter to 5µm nominal in one pass on any stable coolant or cleaner, providing clean and reusable coolants and cleaners. The resulting benefits include extended life of coolants and cleaners, improved machining and longer tool life, according to the company.
The mobile recycling platform allows fluid recycling to be taken sump side for more efficient use of machine up-time. Operators simply drop two hoses into the machine sump and start the centrifuge. Tramp oils are effortlessly removed while the machine tool continues to run.
Eriez HydroFlow Portable Tramp Oil Separators offer an array of features for hassle-free operation. The bowl dismantles easily for cleaning and the machine automatically shuts off when the tank is full. A built-in clean fluid centripetal discharge pump, air pump and floating skimmer for feed and quick disconnects on feed and discharge all come standard. Self-cleaning units are also available.
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.
- coolant
coolant
Fluid that reduces temperature buildup at the tool/workpiece interface during machining. Normally takes the form of a liquid such as soluble or chemical mixtures (semisynthetic, synthetic) but can be pressurized air or other gas. Because of water’s ability to absorb great quantities of heat, it is widely used as a coolant and vehicle for various cutting compounds, with the water-to-compound ratio varying with the machining task. See cutting fluid; semisynthetic cutting fluid; soluble-oil cutting fluid; synthetic cutting fluid.
- 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.
- 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.
