Tube Mill Coolant Recycling System

Filter Out Contaminants

T.M.C.R.S. helps tube mill facilities continually filter and provide clean coolant at flow rates required by the mill.

The self-contained system removes tube oils, ferrous and nonferrous particulates and adds fresh coolant on demand to extend coolant life. 

Features Include:

• Improved Filtration. Removes 99.75% ferrous and non-ferrous particulates and tramp oil by volume. Tramp oil removed has 2% or less water content. T.M.C.R.S. filters contaminants from 10 to 50 microns.
• Ferrous Filtration: Magnetic separators remove 98% of ferrous materials and automatically discharge accumulated debris.

• Rugged Construction. Industrial-grade steel construction with a chemical-resistant coating.
• Robust Design. High hydrostatic head of liquid for efficient filtration, safety system with overflow discharge, exhaust fabric rewinding system, and sludge scraping blade.
• Automated Operation. Capable of continuous automatic operation. 
• Aeration. Continuous aeration during filtration process kills anaerobic bacteria to eliminate fluid rancidity, slow buildup of oil on the mill and on the tubes.
• Adaptable. Various capacities to accommodate mills of all sizes and configurations.‍
• Automatic Operation. The system maintains ideal fluid levels, monitors and replenishes fluid supply to keep coolant concentrations in range.

Reduce Coolant Costs

T.M.C.R.S. is ideal for industrial tube milling environments in automotive manufacturing plants and heavy-duty machining facilities that must remove tube oils, ferrous and non-ferrous metals from their coolant. 

Its advanced filtration drives operational excellence and cost savings by extending the life of machine tools and coolants.

The automated and self-contained design enhances sustainability to trim fluid purchases.

Sell or recycle separated fluids and metals to save money and encourage sustainability.

Lower health risks and potential medical claims by minimizing employee exposure to hazardous lubricants.

Features Include:

Operational Excellence. Extend the life of machine tools and coolants and trim maintenance downtime.

Cost Efficient. Cut waste disposal costs and trim new fluid purchases.

Environmental Compliance. Shrink your environmental footprint and comply with regulations.

Better Workplace Safety. Combat hazardous fluid exposure with a cleaner workplace.

Improve Operational Efficiency

T.M.C.R.S. can be customized to handle any volume your operation requires. Our systems have processed up to 990 GPM (gallons per minute) and can scale to 1,600 GPM or more.

The rapid-removal system uses a 10-step automated process to eliminate contaminants.

1. Contaminated Liquid Removal. Contaminated liquid is removed from collection tanks with a hydrocyclone supply pump. 

2. Hydrocyclone Discharge. Contaminated liquid is discharged into the hydrocyclone.

3. Solids Separation. Solids flow out from the bottom of the hydrocyclone into a magnetic separator where ferrous particulates are removed.

4. Paper Bed Filter. Ferrous-free fluid flows into a paper bed filter where nonferrous particulates get removed. Clean fluid then drains into the hydrocyclone tank and particulates from both the magnetic separator and the paper bed filter are deposited onto a swarf tray.

5. Clean Fluid Collection. Clean fluid exits from the top of the hydrocyclone and the bottom of the paper bed filter into the PBF tank.

6. Overflow. The clean fluid overflows into the oil removal tank (ORT).

7. Oil Separation. The separator supply pump pulls free oils and fluid through the ballast floating skimmer and discharges them into the tramp oil separation system (T.O.S.S.). Free oil gravity drains from the system into a client-provided holding container.

8. Final Fluid Cleaning. Clean fluid flows out and into the ORT. Fluid in the ORT passes over and under walls into the clean fluid tank.

9. Purified Liquid Supply. The clean fluid supply pump sends purified liquid to the tube mill on demand.

10. Coolant Proportioning. The proportioner provides proper filling and mixing of mill coolant to maintain the system.

Slash Waste Disposal Costs 

T.M.C.R.S. is suited for shops looking to upgrade their sustainability profile by reducing waste and associated disposal costs. 

Features Include:

• Sustainable. Reclaim and recycle valuable oils for internal use or sale.
• Resale. Sell or reuse separated fluids to promote sustainable practices.
• Save Money. Lower new fluid purchases and hazardous waste disposal costs.
