Tramp Oil Separator System

Toss Out Tramp Oil and Suspended Solids

Don’t let tramp oil and suspended solids in your machining fluids cause unnecessary downtime and repairs. Tackle the core issues of operational downtime and operational efficiency with our Tramp Oil Separation System (T.O.S.S.).

Our advanced solution removes tramp oil and suspended solids from water-based coolants, synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids, and wash waste systems. T.O.S.S. efficiently removes free-floating, dispersed and loosely emulsified tramp oils. Its high-efficiency coalescing filter achieves oil separation to less than 0.5% by volume.

Simplify operations, cut fluid concentration purchases, reduce waste, and save money with this sustainable turnkey system.

2 - 50 Gallons

Standard T.O.S.S. systems can process 2 - 50 gallons per minute, with custom options for higher flow rates.

Improve Operational Efficiency

The T.O.S.S. Tramp Oil Separator uses advanced coalescing technology to remove tramp oil and suspended solids from coolants and wash waters, enhancing the longevity and performance of industrial fluids.

  1. Skimming the Surface
    The EdjeTech floating skimmer, placed in the fluid reservoir, adjusts to the fluid surface, skimming off free-floating oils and capturing fluid with dispersed oil and suspended solids.
  2. Filtering the Fluid
    The skimmed fluid is drawn through the skimmer into a separator supply pump and then into a bag filter, where suspended solids are efficiently filtered out, leaving cleaner fluid.
  3. Coalescing Media
    The filtered fluid moves into the coalescing media with 132 square feet of surface area per cubic foot. Here, 99% of 20-micron oil droplets are separated on the first pass.
  4. Returning Clean Fluid
    The clarified fluid flows into a clean fluid chamber and is gently discharged back into the original reservoir through an adjustable overflow weir.
  5. Automatic Oil Removal
    Free oils rise to the tank's top, flow into the tramp oil discharge trough, and are automatically drained into a client-provided container, maintaining system efficiency without manual intervention.
