PORTABLE INLINE FLUID RECLAMATION MACHINE UPDATED

US manufacturer Eriez HydroFlow® has introduced a new version of its SumpDoc™ portable inline fluid reclamation machine.

This redesigned version was based on customer feedback at numerous installations. The updated unit is simple to operate and small and lightweight
enough to allow an operator to push SumpDoc quickly and easily from location to location.

The machine provides complete coolant restoration and rejuvenation treatment of metalworking fluids in the machine tool sump with minimal operator intervention. There is no interruption in the production cycle or need to transport fluids. The portable unit can be wheeled next to a machine tool, parts washer, or rinse tank to provide a two-step fluid reclamation process.

The main components of the system are a sump cleaner for removal of chips and solids 50 microns and larger, a pleated bag filter and housing for removal of solids down to 10 microns, a high-speed centrifuge for removal of emulsified tramp oil and fines down to 3 to 5 microns, an ozone generator for microbiological treatment of coolants, and electrical controls with touchscreen dashboard.

According to  HydroFlow Product Manager Ron Wendt; “The SumpDoc is the only coolant maintenance equipment on the market today that combines both sump cleaning and tramp oil removal in one package.”

He added; “with its portable design and ability to function with little operator interaction and no stop in production, the SumpDoc is truly unique.”
