Advantages

Instant Installation
The magnetic base mounts directly to the steel wall of a coolant tank in seconds, with no drilling, brackets, or fabrication required.

Supports Sump Health
By continuously removing the surface layer of tramp oil, the skimmer helps keep oxygen available at the coolant surface and reduces conditions that can contribute to odor-causing anaerobic bacteria.

Portable Versatility
Because it is not permanently bolted in place, the unit can move from machine to machine for targeted sump cleanup.

Plug-and-Play Power
Operates on standard 110V power and plugs into a standard wall outlet or machine accessory strip.

Technical Overview

  • Model: Coolant Skimmer 1
  • Mounting Style: Integrated Magnetic Base
  • Skimming Method: Continuous Belt
  • Power Supply: 110V
  • Housing: Industrial Coated Steel
  • Wiper: Spring-loaded or fixed blade (standard for this type)
  • Separation: Gravity discharge (oil runs down the trough, coolant drips back)

Why Skim?
Hydraulic oil and way lube naturally leak into coolant. They float to the top, creating a "cap" that suffocates the fluid. This creates a breeding ground for bacteria, causes dermatitis, and creates smoke during machining.

The Magnetic Solution
The "Skimmer 1" is designed for agility. Unlike fixed skimmers that become permanent fixtures, this unit can be deployed immediately to problem areas. It lifts the oil on the belt; the oil adheres to the belt material while the water/coolant runs off. The wiper blade then scrapes the waste oil into a collection container.

Applications

  • CNC Milling Center Sumps
  • CNC Lathe Tanks
  • Parts Washer Oil Removal
  • Grinding Machine Filtration
  • Portable Sump Cleaning
  • Tramp Oil Management

Description

The rapid-deployment solution for tramp oil removal. The Coolant Skimmer 1 is a compact, heavy-duty belt skimmer featuring an integrated high-strength magnetic base. Designed for instant installation on CNC sumps and parts washers, it utilizes a continuous belt to lift floating hydraulic oils and way lubes out of the coolant tank. By removing this "tramp oil," it starves bacteria of their food source, eliminating "Monday Morning Stink" and significantly extending the life of your metalworking fluid.

The definitive fluid management solution for high-volume manufacturing facilities and central coolant systems. The Dosatron D14MZ10 is a water-powered, volumetric dosing pump designed to deliver 100% consistent coolant concentration across complex piping networks. By compensating for the pressure drops and flow fluctuations common in large plants, it ensures that every machine—from the first to the last on the line—receives the exact same mix ratio, eliminating "lean/rich" variances that destroy tool life.

The essential verification tool for precision fluid management. This Industrial Optical Refractometer features a specialized 0–18% Brix scale, specifically calibrated for the reading of metalworking fluids. Compatible with all synthetic, semi-synthetic, and soluble oil coolants, it allows operators to instantly verify sump concentration with a single drop, ensuring that machining processes remain within the safe engineering limits for tool life and rust protection.

Industrial-grade chemical test strips specifically engineered for the rapid measurement of pH levels in metalworking fluid sumps. Oemeta pH Test Strips provide the critical data needed to diagnose and prevent smelly sumps and machine corrosion by identifying acidity shifts that compromise the biological and chemical stability of the emulsion.

Industrial-grade chemical test strips specifically engineered for the rapid measurement of water hardness in metalworking fluid sumps. Oemeta Hardness Test Strips provide the critical data needed to diagnose and prevent foaming, sticky residue, and premature tool wear by identifying calcium and magnesium levels that compromise emulsion stability.

Industrial-grade chemical test strips specifically engineered for the rapid and accurate measurement of Oemeta coolant concentration. Unlike standard refractometers, the Easy Check system provides a precise reading of active ingredients while remaining unaffected by tramp oils or suspended solids, allowing for superior control over fluid property parameters.

Technical guidance & FAQs

Applications and materials

Coolant Skimmer 1 uses a moving belt to remove floating tramp oil from a coolant tank. The magnetic base supports mounting where the machine and access arrangement provide a suitable location.

Choosing a configuration

Review belt reach to the fluid surface, tank access, mounting surface and collection arrangement. Distinguish floating oil from a change in the coolant’s own emulsion before planning removal.

Compatibility and use

Skimming does not replace concentration checks, cleaning or other fluid maintenance. Confirm the installation and belt dimensions; do not assume every tank has a suitable magnetic mounting surface.

Technical documents

Contact Tech Tool for the current product information and instructions for Coolant Skimmer 1 Magnetic Base.

What does the skimmer remove?

Floating tramp oil from the coolant surface, using the belt and collection arrangement.

Why check the fluid level and belt reach?

The belt must contact the working surface through the expected operating level range.

Does skimming guarantee a bacteria-free sump?

No. It is one maintenance task and does not replace the other required coolant checks.
