Oil Skimmer in Action: Improve Coolant Quality and Extend Machine Life

In modern CNC machining and metalworking, coolant plays a critical role in maintaining machining accuracy, reducing tool wear, and ensuring stable production. However, during long-term operation, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, and other floating contaminants inevitably mix into the coolant tank, forming a layer of tramp oil on the surface. If left untreated, this contamination can significantly reduce coolant performance, create unpleasant odors, encourage bacterial growth, and shorten the service life of both the coolant and the machine.

A high-quality Oil Skimmer provides an efficient solution by continuously removing floating oil from the coolant surface. In this video, you’ll see how the SHANSEN CNC Oil Skimmer effectively removes tramp oil, helping manufacturers maintain cleaner coolant and improve machining efficiency.

Watch the SHANSEN CNC Oil Skimmer in Action

The video demonstrates the real operating process of the SHANSEN CNC Oil Skimmer. As the skimmer operates, floating oil is collected from the coolant surface and transferred into a separate collection container, while the clean coolant remains in the machine tank.

This simple but highly effective process helps maintain coolant quality without interrupting machine operation.

Whether installed on CNC machining centers, lathes, milling machines, grinding machines, or automated production equipment, the Oil Skimmer provides continuous protection for your coolant system.

Why Removing Tramp Oil Matters

Many manufacturers underestimate the impact of tramp oil contamination. Even a thin layer of floating oil can create several problems:

• Reduced coolant cooling performance
• Increased bacterial growth and unpleasant odors
• Faster coolant degradation
• Shortened coolant replacement intervals
• Poor machining surface quality
• Increased maintenance costs
• Higher risk of machine downtime

By continuously removing floating oil, an Oil Skimmer helps keep coolant in optimal condition, reducing operating costs while improving machining stability.

Key Benefits of the SHANSEN CNC Oil Skimmer

Efficient Floating Oil Removal

The Oil Skimmer continuously collects floating oil from the coolant surface without affecting normal machine operation.

Extended Coolant Life

Cleaner coolant lasts significantly longer, reducing the frequency of coolant replacement and lowering disposal costs.

Improved Machining Performance

Clean coolant provides better lubrication and cooling, helping improve machining accuracy and extend cutting tool life.

Reduced Maintenance

By removing tramp oil before it accumulates, the Oil Skimmer helps prevent sludge buildup and keeps coolant tanks cleaner, reducing maintenance time and labor costs.

Energy-Efficient Operation

Designed for continuous industrial use, the Oil Skimmer operates with low power consumption while delivering reliable oil removal performance.

Easy Installation

The unit can be easily installed on most CNC machine coolant tanks with minimal modification, making it suitable for both new equipment and existing production lines.

Applications

The SHANSEN CNC Oil Skimmer is widely used in:

• CNC Machining Centers
• CNC Lathes
• Milling Machines
• Grinding Machines
• Drilling Machines
• EDM Machines
• Metal Cutting Equipment
• Automatic Production Lines
• Industrial Coolant Systems

Wherever tramp oil accumulates on coolant surfaces, an Oil Skimmer helps maintain cleaner coolant and improve overall machining efficiency.

How the Oil Skimmer Works

The SHANSEN CNC Oil Skimmer is designed to continuously remove floating oil from the coolant surface through a simple and reliable mechanical process.

During operation:

1. The rotating skimming component contacts the coolant surface.
2. Floating oil adheres to the skimming surface.
3. The collected oil is lifted out of the coolant tank.
4. A scraper removes the oil from the rotating component.
5. The separated oil flows into an external collection container.
6. Clean coolant remains in the machine tank for continued use.

This continuous process effectively removes tramp oil while requiring minimal operator attention.
