Oil Skimmer

Oil, chips, and other contaminants can mix and cause
damage to the machine’s critical components.
Guideway oil wipers ensure effective removal of this mixture
from the guideways and moving surfaces.

General Features

Efficient Oil–Coolant Separation: The helical screw design effectively removes tramp oil (way oil, hydraulic oil, surface contamination) from the coolant surface and transfers it to an external container.
Extends Coolant Life: By eliminating surface oil continuously, it prevents bacterial growth, foul odors, and coolant degradation. This ensures longer coolant stability and improved machining performance.
Compact and Modular Construction: Easily mounted on CNC machine tanks or side panels. Operates efficiently even in limited space applications.
Quiet and Energy-Efficient Operation: Low-power motor allows continuous oil removal with minimal energy consumption.
Minimal Maintenance Requirement: Due to its screw-based collection mechanism, clogging is rare and maintenance is simple. Provides long service life.
Compatible With Various Oil Types: Effectively removes way oil, hydraulic oil, grinding oil, and other floating surface oils.
Superior Cleaning Capability: Continuous discharge system ensures stable and uninterrupted tramp oil removal.
Corrosion-Resistant Body: Available with stainless steel construction for compatibility with water-based coolants and chemical mixtures.

FAQ’S

Frequently Asked Questions
Oil Skimmer

How does a helical oil skimmer work?

The helical screw rotates and captures floating oil from the coolant surface, transferring it into a discharge chamber for removal. The process runs continuously.
What types of oil can it remove?

It removes all forms of tramp oil including way oil, hydraulic oil, grinding oil, and any surface-floating contaminant.
Does it extend coolant life?

Yes. By preventing surface oil buildup, it reduces bacterial growth, foul odors, and coolant degradation—significantly extending coolant life.
Is maintenance difficult?

No. The screw design is resistant to clogging. Routine cleaning and checking the discharge line are generally sufficient.
How much energy does it consume?

Very little. The low-power motor allows continuous operation at minimal energy cost.
How is it mounted on CNC machines?

It can be mounted on the side, top, or support brackets of most CNC tanks. Its compact design allows installation even in tight spaces.
What is the lifespan of the helical screw?

It is highly durable and can operate for many years with simple periodic cleaning.
What happens if the oil collection container becomes full?

It should be emptied before reaching maximum level. Optional level sensors can be added for automatic alerts.
Is it compatible with water-based and oil-based coolants?

Yes. It works with all standard coolant types.
Can it be used in central filtration systems?

Absolutely. It is commonly used in the inlet tanks of central systems to prevent tramp oil accumulation.
