Description
Overview
- The simple, yet effective H.O.S.S. system is designed to remove harmful tramp oils and fine contaminates, resulting in reduced costs by extending the fluid life of industrial coolant fluids
- Machine tool sumps, individual, regional, and/or central coolant systems, washer filters, and various other processes utilizing water-soluble, semi-synthetic, synthetic, and wash solutions can benefit from this application where two immiscible fluids require separation.
Problem & Solution
- The main problem with oil separation systems is dealing with floating solids like aluminum chips, sediment, and/or cast-iron grinding swarf. Competitive systems tend to plug at the difficult-to-clean areas; skimmer head, pump suction pipe, and inside the decant tank. Solutions:
-
- The H.O.S.S. was developed to eliminate plugging at the skimmer float suction supply tube
- The H.O.S.S. system has easily removable coalescent plates for ease of cleaning
- The optional conveyorized system will remove any solids that settle to the bottom of the decant tank
Features & Benefits
- Extends the life of industrial coolant fluids and wash solutions by effectively removing tramp oil
- Robust stainless steel tank construction
- Low maintenance
- Level seeking, non-plugging ball float skimmer pick up head
- Pump suction pipe backflow design eliminates plugging at the floating suction head ( Electric Pump Option )
- A reliable pump transfers skimmed surface oil to the oil separation decant tank
- Coalescing laminar plates that can be individually removed for cleaning
- Solids and sludge, that has settled to the bottom of the oil separation decant tanks, are removed by the chain and flight conveyor (optional)
Options
- Air Diaphragm or Electric Pump
- Conveyorized oil separation decant tank
- Level switches
- Electrical controls
- Holding tank for removed tramp oil
- Tramp oil tank discharge pump
- Additional options upon customer request
Basic Operation
- The level seeking skimmer head (ball float assembly) skims the surface of the liquid inside the filter tank
- An air operated diaphragm or electric centrifugal pump draws the liquid through the suction piping and discharges it into the oil separation decant tank
- The oil and coolant solution are separated using a uniquely designed decant tank with laminar plates
- The separated oil is then gravity discharged into a waste container and the clean, processed fluid is gravity discharged back to the filter tank
- Suspended solids that settle to the bottom of the decant tank will be conveyed out through the discharge chute (on conveyorized units only)
