Pump and pre-filter
The inlet strainer screens large particles before they reach the air diaphragm pump.
Portable tramp-oil separation
for individual reservoirs.
The T.O.S.S. T1 is a portable, skid-mounted tramp oil separator for individual machine sumps, parts washers, and other compatible reservoirs. It provides the same coalescing separation as the floor-standing T.O.S.S. series in a compact 2 GPM configuration.
- 2 gpm
- 90 to 120 GPH, set at the air valve
- <0.5%
- tramp oil held in the treated fluid
- up to80%
- reduction in new fluid purchases · up to 90% less disposal
- 99%
- oil droplets 20 microns and larger separated on the first pass
What it is
Tramp-oil separation that moves between reservoirs
The self-contained unit removes free-floating, dispersed, and loosely emulsified tramp oils from an individual coolant reservoir or parts washer and returns clarified fluid by gravity. Each reservoir requires at least three complete volume turnovers, allowing one unit to serve multiple sumps on a planned rotation.
- Built to moveAir diaphragm pump, flow-control valve, an 800-micron prefilter protecting the pump, a 100-micron bag filter for solids (1 to 200 micron available), clear lid for checking the oil layer, and a suction skimmer designed for tight spaces, on a self-contained skid.
- Same coalescing separationThe high-efficiency coalescing media holds tramp oil to less than half of one percent by volume, the same spec as the floor-standing T.O.S.S.
- Gravity flow, nylon-reinforced tubingClarified fluid returns to the reservoir through gravity outlets; the separated oil drains to your container.

Key T.O.S.S. T1 components
Vertical skimmer
Draws fluid and floating oil from the sump surface as the fluid level changes.
Pre-filter
Screens large particles before fluid enters the air diaphragm pump.
Air diaphragm pump
Draws fluid through the skimmer and pre-filter, then feeds the bag filter.
Bag filter assembly
Removes suspended solids inside the tank; the cap is visible above the bag.
Coalescing media
Combines small oil droplets so they rise to the surface for removal.
Adjustable oil takeoff
Collects separated surface oil for drainage into a separate holding container.
Gravity return
Returns clarified fluid to the machine reservoir by gravity through the outlet.
Bag filter
The filter bag removes suspended solids inside the inlet chamber. Shown here with its cap, outside the tank.
Coalescing media
The lift-out pack brings small oil droplets together so they rise for removal. Internal plate details are illustrative.
Model configurations
Six configurations at 2 GPM
Every T.O.S.S. T1 tramp oil separator uses a bag filter to remove solids and oleophilic coalescing media to separate tramp oil from coolant. All configurations operate on shop air. Skimmer style, cart requirement, and fluid temperature determine the model.
Included on all six models
- Solids filtration
- Bag filter
- Oil separation
- Oleophilic coalescing media
| Model | Dimensions (L × W × H) | Flow | Pump | Cart | Skimmer | Tank construction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 GPM | Air | No | Vertical | Steel | |
| 2 GPM | Air | Yes | Vertical | Steel | |

L = length · W = width · H = height. Excludes cart.
Vertical skimmer for shallow reservoirs; ballast skimmer for deep or large reservoirs. The separator operates on shop air at about 30 PSI, with no electrical connection required. The optional ozone generator requires 115 VAC and replaces routine biocide dosing with automated bacteria control and odor neutralization. Request configuration review →
Applications
Portable tramp-oil separation for individual reservoirs
Built for water-based coolants, synthetics, and alkaline wash water carrying free, dispersed, or loosely emulsified tramp oil.
Facilities with multiple independent sumps or reservoirs can move the T1 between them on a planned schedule, while applications with continuous oil loading may require dedicated T.O.S.S. units. Selection depends on reservoir volume, fluid chemistry, contaminant loading, required treatment rate, and the time available for each reservoir.

What the T1 delivers
Separation performance and operating value
Targeted tramp-oil control for an individual reservoir, with the same separation specification as the floor-standing T.O.S.S. series. Application-specific simple payback can be estimated from the quoted investment and current fluid, disposal, labor, and maintenance costs.
