The sump cleaner removes coolant, sludge and chips from the sump, filters the sludge and chips from the coolant and returns the filtered coolant to the sump, or transports the coolant back to the machine. Contaminated coolants from uncleaned tanks affect machine tool life by damaging machine parts. Therefore, coolant tanks must be cleaned regularly, which can be a daunting task when done manually.

The coolant sump helps save time and enhances productivity by keeping cleaning coolant tanks quickly, regularly and systematically without assistance. It maintains a high level of accuracy and repeatability, to improve service times for the machine and its components. The sump cleaner is designed to clean water-based coolant as well as neat oil coolant tanks of machines.

The sump cleaner creates a vacuum in the coolant tank, which sucks the contaminated coolant, swarf, unwanted dust and so on. These are filtered through a filter bag with a strainer. Clean coolant flows into the tank and the unwanted materials remain in the filter bag. This technology is called offline coolant filtration system. The vacuum discharges the cleaned coolants into the machine tank with the help of the pressure generated.
