Tramp oil removal information

Tramp Oil - Eneny Number One!!

Tramp oil is the machine operators greatest enemy. It harbors bacteria which in itself depletes the quality of the coolant eating up vital coolant additives designed for extended coolant life and cutting capabilities.

Tramp oil is the main component which causes factories to have that "blue mist" problem and by tramp oil removal at the source of immediate contamination it eliminates a whole range of environmental issues including dermatis and cancer.

There are two types of skimmers belt and disc which are both are for the removal of tramp oil. The choice of skimmer type is dependent on the space available in the sump to fit an oil removal system.

Tramp oil belt skimmers

Belt skimmers take up less surface area and have the benefit of achieving greater depth ie if the sump level fluctuates or if the distance from the top of the sump where the skimmer is fitted to the level at which the coolant needs to be skimmed. Longer belts are available for exceptional applications.

Tramp oil disc skimmers

Tramp oil disc skimmers are very versatile and particularly useful in skimming from machines originally designed for "straight oils" which often suffer from higher levels of tramp oil.
