Machine tools are essential for various industrial operations, including cutting, drilling, and grinding. They operate continuously, and as a result, they produce heat, which can cause the lubricant to break down and mix with the coolant. This mixture is known as tramp oil, and it can cause several problems such as bacterial growth, reduced tool life, and poor product quality. One solution to this problem is to use a Lubriserv LUBRICLEAN tramp oil separator.
The LUBRICLEAN separator is a mobile device that sucks up your dirty coolant into a coalescing chamber where it separates oil from coolant. Once separated the tramp oil is outlet and the cleaned coolant returned to your machine tank – all this whilst you work !. It is a simple and reliable way to remove tramp oil from a machine tool’s coolant system.
The LUBRICLEAN range of mobile separators are suitable for coolant tanks from 50L to over 5000L the units run on 240V 50Hz standard UK socket or a pneumatic version.
We also have a range of smaller Tramp Oil Skimmers, available with disc, tube or band methods for surface tramp oil removal. This units are fully adjustable and very effective for surface tramp oil removal.
Below are just some of the benefits of using a tramp oil separator on a machine tool
Tramp oil can cause several problems in a machine tool’s coolant system. It can lead to bacterial growth, which can cause foul odours, skin irritation, and respiratory problems. Tramp oil can also reduce the effectiveness of the coolant, leading to poor product quality. By removing tramp oil from the coolant system, a tramp oil separator can improve the coolant’s effectiveness, which can increase tool life.
When tramp oil is left unchecked in a machine tool’s coolant system, it can cause clogging, leading to reduced coolant flow. Reduced coolant flow can cause overheating, which can lead to machine failure and downtime. By removing tramp oil from the coolant system, a tramp oil separator can prevent clogging, reduce machine failure, and decrease downtime.
Using a tramp oil separator can help reduce operating costs. By removing tramp oil from the coolant system, a tramp oil separator can improve the coolant’s effectiveness, which can increase tool life. This can reduce the frequency of tool replacement, leading to cost savings. Additionally, using a tramp oil separator can reduce the frequency of coolant replacement, leading to further cost savings.
Tramp oil can lead to poor product quality. It can cause staining, discoloration, and surface defects on the finished product. By removing tramp oil from the coolant system, a tramp oil separator can improve the quality of the finished product, leading to customer satisfaction and repeat business.
Using a tramp oil separator can have environmental benefits. Tramp oil can be harmful to the environment if it is not disposed of properly. By removing tramp oil from the coolant system, a tramp oil separator can reduce the amount of waste generated and help protect the environment.
In conclusion, using a Lubriserv LUBRICLEAN tramp oil separator on a machine tool can provide several benefits, including increased tool life, reduced downtime, lower operating costs, improved product quality, and environmental benefits. By investing in a tramp oil separator, companies can improve their manufacturing processes and increase their competitiveness in the market.
