Sump Cleaner

One of our customers engaged in machining of casting components was facing frequent coolant contamination due to small casting burrs and fines entering the coolant tank. This resulted in poor coolant quality and forced the customer to drain and reload fresh coolant every 2 months, leading to high cutting oil consumption and long maintenance hours.

After installing a Sump Cleaner, the customer started cleaning coolant tanks regularly without complete shutdown. This significantly improved coolant cleanliness and extended coolant life, allowing fresh coolant replacement only once in 1 years instead of every 2 months.

Key Benefits Achieved

  • Cutting oil saving of approximately 1,600 liters per year
    Earlier, each machine required 10 liters of cutting oil every 2 months. With 32 machines, annual oil consumption was around 1,920 liters. After using the sump cleaner, annual fresh fill requirement reduced to 320 liters, resulting in massive oil savings.
  • Drastic manpower time reduction
    Manual coolant tank cleaning earlier took 4–5 hours per machine. With the sump cleaner, cleaning time is reduced to just 15–20 minutes.
  • Extended coolant life and reduced machine downtime

Lower maintenance cost and improved productivity
