How it Works

The first thing the Coalescer does is remove tramp oil. By removing the tramp oil, you are reducing the possibility of sealing off the sump. When tramp oils seal the surface of your coolant tank, anaerobic bacteria will form which can lower the pH of your coolant and cause bad odours.

Secondly, the coolant is passed through two filters; a primary and a secondary filter, which remove particles and dirt from the fluids. Both filters are monitored by guages. When these guages reach between 25-30, the filter should be cleaned or replaced.

In the lower portion of the holding tank, there are hundreds of plastic perforated cylinders that the fluids must pass through. The solid tramp oils will surface immediately, but the oils that are suspended in the fluids will attach themselves to a solid such as the plastic cylinders. When enough oil particles form to make a droplet, they will rise to the surface.

When the oxygen supply is cut off in the sump, anaerobic bacteria forms. The bacteris is the main cause of odour and dermatitis. The Coolant Coalescer attacks this bacteria and fungus by generating ozone.

The reactor contains an ultra violet light with a life expectancy of 4000 hours. The reactor has a warning light on the control box to alert the operator that a bulb change is required.

Once the coolant has been skimmed, double filtered, and zapped with ozone, it is returned to the machine sump to begin the cycle again.

Important Information

The air pressure is monitored on the operating gauge beside the filter gauges. The pump is adjustable and will operate between 15 and 20 PSI.

The tramp oils are manually drained from the holding tank after two or three machine tools are cleaned. The manual drain must be done while the Coalescer is operating. This will ensure an appropriate pressure in the holding tank to force the tramp oils out.

Once the machine sump is cleaned, simply disconnect the air and electrical lines, put the intake and output lines away, and roll the Coalescer to the next machine to be cleaned.

To keep machines clean, the Coalescer should be used every other week. It could be necessary to use the Coolant Coalescer more often, depending on the amount of lube oil used by your machine.

When not using the Coalescer, please drain coolant from storage tank.
