Coolant Maintenance & Tramp Oil Removal Products

Abanaki offers a variety of coolant maintenance products. Machining coolants are an essential part of metalworking operations, but they are often only used a short time before being discard. While coolant operates the process, it can come contaminated and cause a multitude of issues.

  • Smoke/Smog develops when cutting tools make contact with oil laden coolant.
  • A “rotten egg” smell is released from bacteria reacting with oil in coolant.
  • Employees are at increased risk for skin disorders, like dermatitis.
  • Coolant loses effectiveness to extend tool life.
  • Replacing coolant is expensive and causes machine downtime.

The Chiperator is an inexpensive way to clean dirty machine sumps. The air driven Chiperator quickly separates chips and swarf from liquids. It drains or refills its 55 gallon drum in less than 2 minutes! Simply suck up coolant laden with chips, swarf and muck, and the Chiperator strains the unwanted solids. The Chiperator then pumps the strained coolant back to the sump.Standard Features:
  • Strains 40 gallons of chips and coolant per minute
  • Efficient venturi design consumes less air than competitive models
  • Acts as both a vacuum and a pump
  • Economical, disposable filter bags make cleanup a breeze
