The Rix Oil Skimmer “SLS Series” Model gives you high separation of tramp oil and extends the lifetime of your cutting fluids.
The SLS oil skimmer gives you high separation of tramp oil and extends the lifetime of your cutting fluids.
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.
With the screw action oil skimmer you can separate more than twice as much tramp oil per hour than with a traditional belt skimmer while scarcely removing any cutting fluid. Whereas the screw action oil skimmer separates out 1.7 liters of tramp oil, the result for the belt skimmer is just 0.65 liters over the same time.*
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.

No need for a belt-type separation tank based on specific gravity difference
Screw-type oil skimmer with greatly improved oil removal capacity
Thanks to efficient removal of oil from coolant surface by screw, it eliminated a separation tank based on specific gravity difference. This means smaller foot print and no need for tank cleaning. Oil removal capacity was significantly improved, compared to a conventional oil skimmer.
