The main features of the SumpDoc include: sump cleaner (sump vac) for removal of all sludge and solids 50 µm and larger, pleated bag filter and housing for removal of solids down to 10 µm, continuous-flow tramp oil coalesce, high-speed centrifuge for removal of emulsified tramp oil and fines down to 3–5 µm, and ozone generator for micro- biological treatment of coolants and coolant makeup system with proportioner and electrical controls with touch screen dashboard. All components are housed on a mobile platform for ease of transportation.
The SumpDoc operates in three easy steps. After locating the SumpDoc unit next to an operating machine tool sump
SumpDoc can be easily moved from machine to machine to perform complete sump cleanout and coolant restoration while machines are still in production. No shutdown is required.
and connecting to the plant source of compressed air, water, and electric, the unit is ready to begin metalworking fluid rejuvenation while the machine tool remains in full production. The operator turns the unit on and follows the steps illustrated on the control panel touch screen dashboard. In step one, the operator selects the Sump Vac Mode from the dashboard controls.
