Cleantek's oil skimmers are efficient, cost-effective solutions designed to remove tramp oil from coolant systems. These compact and durable devices extend coolant life, reduce operating costs, and promote a cleaner, safer workplace by preventing bacterial growth and eliminating odors.Efficiently remove floating oil and fat from medium to large tanks with Cleantek OSK100 Oil Skimmer, designed to extend the life of your emulsions and degreasing baths with minimal maintenance.
Excessive tramp oil in a coolant system can indeed serve as a food source for bacteria, leading to the proliferation of microbial contamination. This not only degrades the coolant's performance but can also create unpleasant odors, health hazards, and equipment issues. To maintain a healthy coolant system, it's essential to control both tramp oil and bacterial levels simultaneously. Simply managing one without addressing the other will not effectively prevent bacterial growth. Regular coolant maintenance, including the use of oil skimmers or separators and biocides, can help keep both tramp oil and bacteria in check, ensuring optimal coolant life and performance.
Cleantek OSK100 Oil Skimmer is designed to efficiently remove floating oil and fat from the surface of various liquids, including lubro-refrigerant emulsions, cooling water, degreasing agents, and wastewater in medium to large-sized tanks. This reliable and easy-to-use oil skimmer helps maintain the quality of your emulsions by preventing the formation of a waste oil film that can lead to fungal and bacterial growth, ultimately extending the life cycle of your emulsions and degreasing baths. With minimal maintenance requirements and a robust construction, the OSK100 ensures long-term performance in a wide variety of tank types, whether round, square, open, or closed.
Tramp oil contamination is a prevalent issue in many industries, particularly those involving machine tools, where oil leaks from hydraulic systems, gearboxes, spindles, and slideway lubrication systems. Tramp oil floats on the coolant surface, forming a barrier that blocks air, creating an ideal environment for the rapid growth of microorganisms. This contamination can lead to various operational challenges, including reduced coolant life, increased maintenance costs, unpleasant odors, and potential health risks such as dermatitis to operators.
One of the most cost-effective and straightforward methods to address tramp oil contamination is the use of a surface oil skimmer. These skimmers are designed to mount on the coolant reservoir, where they continuously draw off surface oil. Oil skimmers come in various sizes and configurations, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from small individual sumps to large holding tanks.
To further enhance the effectiveness of the skimmer, modifications can be made to the coolant reservoir to increase tramp oil separation. For instance, reducing water turbulence in the reservoir and creating a quiet area where tramp oils can separate can significantly improve oil removal. This can be achieved by extending a piece of sheet metal across the tank or reservoir, allowing coolant to flow under, but not over, the sheet metal. This simple modification acts as a baffle, promoting effective oil separation.
Advantages of Oil Skimmers:
Cleantek Oil skimmers are a simple, trouble-free, and economic solution to tramp oil contamination, ensuring cleaner coolant, reduced maintenance, and improved operational efficiency across various industries, including metalworking, papermaking, and food processing.
Removing tramp oil from a coolant tank is crucial for maintaining a clean and efficient machining environment. When tramp oil accumulates in the coolant, it can lead to excessive smoke and fumes during cutting operations as the oil burns, posing health risks and reducing air quality in the workplace. Additionally, the presence of tramp oil promotes bacteria growth in the coolant tank, leading to unpleasant odors and potentially compromising the quality of the coolant. By effectively removing tramp oil, you not only enhance the overall safety and comfort of the workspace but also extend the life of the coolant, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the performance of your cutting operations.
