The Muscle Coalescer and tramp oil separator are recommended for use on individual sumps that operate continuously. Tramp oil is removed and the sump circulates even if the machine’s pump is off. Sump circulation is the key to preventing excessive bacterial growth. The unwanted bacteria growth will break down your coolant and create other problems for your production process.
Dirty coolant is pulled from your sump surface into the coalescing tank. The oleophilic (oil-attracting) coalescing media gathers tiny oil droplets that are too tiny to rise to the surface on their own. The surface area of the media collects them until the oil droplets become large enough to float. The muscle coalescer then removes all oils that have floated to the top within 10 minutes. Clean coolant is then returned from the bottom of the tank back to your sump using gravity.
