Sump Cleaner
7
Sump Cleaners have been designed to make the
job of proper machine tool coolant sump cleaning
as easy as possible for the operator of the sump
cleaner. They have the power necessary for true,
high-performance sump cleaning. They will vacuum
from the sump anything that will pass through its two
inch diameter suction hose and it will vacuum up
water soluble coolant at nearly 100 gallons per
minute. At the same time, all Sump Cleaners are
designed with operator safety and ease of operation
and maintenance as foremost considerations.
Although the units are designed for operator safety,
before using the sump cleaner for the first time (and
periodically thereafter for a review), read the section
of this Operator’s Manual entitled “Safety
Information”, pages 3-4.
Operating Efficiency Tips
Here are some tips to improve the operating
efficiency of your sump cleaner:
• Follow the sump cleaner’s maintenance schedule
carefully. Preventive maintenance is much less
expensive than major repairs.
• Clean your sump cleaner (or just the filter
tank of a twin compartment unit) once a month
or whenever sludge or fines have become
noticeable in the bottom of the tank.
• Rinse the unit with plain water and drain it
completely by removing the drain plug whenever
changing from one brand or type of coolant to
another. There can be compatibility problems
with some products, so avoid contamination.
(Remember to replace the plug.)
• It is better to have one sump cleaner for use
with water soluble coolants and another for use
with cutting oils. If you must use one unit for both,
the sump cleaner must be thoroughly cleaned
when switching products. If at all possible,
purchase a filter basket and a set of hoses for
each product. (The sump cleaner tank is not too
hard to clean, but the hoses and filter basket are.)
Organize your machine pumping schedule so that
during one week you are pumping machines
running water solubles and the next week you
are pumping machines running cutting oils.
This minimizes cleaning the sump cleaner.
Operating Tips
• When vacuuming out the machine, put the
cleaning tool on the bottom of the sump and
remove coolant and chips together.
• If heavy, deep sludge is in the machine sump (cast
iron applications), remove the majority of liquid.
Take the cleaning tool and mix the remaining liquid
with the sludge and then vacuum this mixture out.
• Do NOT alter the unit’s vacuum relief valve
settings.
You will not improve your sump cleaner’s
performance and you will void its warranty.
•
Do NOT use your unit for solvents, volatile or
low flash point fluids of any type.
It is designed
for use with coolants, cutting oils, water soluble
machine cleaning solutions and parts washing
compounds only.
• When pumping out of floor pits you can increase
the efficiency by drilling a 1/4" hole in the cleaning
tool below where the hose is attached. By keeping
this hole above the fluid level, you allow more air
to enter the hose which helps move the fluid up
the hose faster and possibly allow pumping out
of deeper pits.
