Why Use Oil-Skimmers:
Contamination is History.
Our FLEXO Oil Skimmer Effectively Removes Floating Tramp Oils.
In coolant systems, floating tramp oils on top of the coolant creates favorable conditions for the growth of bacteria (anaerobic) and leaves an oil-residue on the machines and parts.
The oil-residue reduces the cooling performance and the oxygen intake of the coolant.
The bacteria are feeding on tramp oils and other components of the coolant and give off an offensive smells (hydrogen sulfide gas). The bacteria are also though to be a major cause for many skin rashes, eye and lung irritation, and other health problems.

Not Using Oil Skimmers, Consequences are:
- Reduced coolant and tooling life
- Harmful to machine operators (skin rashes, eye or lung irritation, etc.)
- Expensive waste disposal
- Bacterial growth
- Poor cooling performance
- Increased maintenance
- Increased unplanned machine down time
- Unpleasant smell
Primary Sources of Tramp Oils:
- Lubricating oils (parts coming into the machining operation)
- Corrosion inhibitors (parts coming into the machining operation)
- Grease, hydraulic oils (leaking machine lubricant systems)
Save the Environment!
Maximize coolant endurance.
Not only will the FLEXO oil skimmer lengthening your fluid's performance life, it also helps you reducing your waste disposal cost and reduces the need of purchasing new fluids.

The Best Strategy is to start fighting the bacteria right from the beginning, using everything we know about coolant maintenance. A good maintenance program will tell us to monitor the pH and concentration, while the FLEXO Oil Skimmers will remove effectively tramp oils.
