Oil Skimmer

Oil slick problem of cutting fluid
The oil slick of cutting fluids often encountered during CNC machining. There are many sources of oil slick, such as slide oil, rust preventive oil, or leaking hydraulic oil. When the oil leaks into the water-based cutting fluid, it will float on the surface and gradually block the air. Over a long period of time, the cutting fluid is liable to rot due to the growth of anaerobic bacteria and produce a foul smell. Cutting fluids also tend to become sticky, causing processing problems.

Principle
The oil skimmer uses a lipophilic belt or a tube made of special fiber to absorb grease with higher viscosity. Water-soluble cutting fluids are not adsorbed because of differences in viscosity and surface tension.

Both the belt and the tube are designed as a continuous circulation type. The belt or round pipe that absorbs grease is driven by the motor, and the grease is scraped off in the upper trough. Finally, the grease flows into the waste oil recovery barrel along the oil pipe. So endless removal of oil slicks。

Effect
1.Prevent cutting fluid rancid bacteria and prolong the useful life.
2.Reduce the chance of workpiece corrosion, rust and surface damage.
3.Improve machining accuracy and extend tool life.
4.Reduce the amount of waste oil and wastewater treatment to prevent
environmental pollution.

Features
The oil skimmer is divided into belt type and tube type. The belt type teaches high oil removal capacity per hour, while the tube type is designed for installation in narrow spaces. The machine can also be optionally equipped with a 24-hour timer automatic switching device.
The oil skimmer has the following characteristics:
1. Low operating cost, no consumables required
2. Small size, light weight and no space
3. Special belt / round tube, high heat resistance and good chemical resistance



Application scenario
1.The cutting fluid for cooling of CNC machine and special machinery.
2.Grinding fluid for cooling of surface grinder, cylinder grinding and
other machinery.
3.Cleaning fluid for machining components.
4. The separation and recovery of water suspended oil discharged from
the factory, reducing the cost of wastewater treatment.
