Oil Skimmers, Inc.
To thrive, and in some cases, survive, CNC machine operators are constantly driven to seek out new ways to reduce costs and improve finished part quality. However, many may be overlooking a significant opportunity to accomplish both mandates by focusing on improving the process of removing oil generated in the various stages of machining processes.
Whether “tramp” oil finds its way into coolant or accumulates in parts washing baths, oil can wreak havoc on machining operations. Tramp oil in coolant can clog lines and spray nozzles, shorten tool life, stain workpieces and lead to inaccurate tolerances.
The cost of replenishment and disposal of coolant is also substantial. In parts washing, oil that is not removed accumulates and contaminates wash solutions, resulting in frequent bath recharging and poor adhesion during painting or plating.

For fleets that transport food-grade oils, the cleaning of the tank is arguably even more important than the transportation itself.
In the transportation industry, regulations often require tanker trucks that haul food-grade oils to be thoroughly washed out before any new product is introduced.
So, to comply with the various local, state and federal requirements, facilities that clean tank trucks must find cost-effective water treatment solutions to remove the residual oil in wash water before it is discharged into the sewer and sent to a municipal facility.
