The MOS Type Rix Oil Skimmer

The MOS-type oil skimmer is developed for applications with many solid particles. It separates the tramp oil effectively and extends the lifetime of your cutting fluid.

The technique exploits the viscosity differential between oil and cutting fluid. The tramp oil has greater viscosity than the cutting fluid and will therefore cling to the rotating spiral. The oil is transported upwards and is continuously scraped off into a tank by a rotating metal plate that is attached to the top of the spiral.

This new way of separating tramp oil is highly effective, gives you minimal loss of cutting fluids and has low maintenance requirements, low operating costs and a compact design.

The MOS-type oil skimmer has a capacity of 0.026 gal/h (100 ml/h) depending on the amount of oil and its viscosity.

SCREW ACTION OIL SKIMMER

Tramp oil is one of the most significant causes of quality deterioration in cutting fluids, as well as a
contributing factor in wear and tear in tools, loss of surface finish quality, and in particular reduced machine tolerances. If the tramp oil is not constantly separated out the cutting fluid must be continuously replaced, which will involve significant long-term costs. The tramp oil also contributes to bacterial growth in the cutting fluid that are then spread by airborne fluid particles. This can result in allergic reactions and is also a source of foul odors in the workshop environment.
There are a number of techniques for dealing with tramp oil, including the use of belt, disk or tube skimmers for example. These techniques often do not provide adequate separation as they do not separate out enough of the tramp oil, or they remove too much of the cutting fluid. The new screw action oil skimmer is a patented solution that is manufactured by the RIX company in Japan and now marketed in Europe by 3nine. The technique exploits the viscosity differential between oil and cutting fluid, with the more viscous oil clinging to a rotating threaded device, from where it is separated out. The patented screw action oil skimmer has since become the standard solution in Japanese factories thanks to its low
maintenance costs and great efficiency – and now it’s coming to Europe.

HIGHLY EFFICIENT SEPARATION

Results from performance tests show that the screw action oil skimmer separates out more than twice
as much oil than a traditional belt skimmer. While the screw action oil skimmer separated out 1.7 liters of
tramp oil, the result for the belt skimmer is just 0.65 liters over the same time. Unlike other
techniques such as the traditional belt skimmer, the screw action oil skimmer separates out practically all
the tramp oil while removing scarcely any cutting fluid.
