Remove Tramp Oil from CNC Coolant Sumps

Wayne Products Mini-Skimmer oil skimmers remove floating tramp oil from CNC and machine-tool coolant sumps. Continuous surface-oil removal can help maintain cleaner sump conditions, support routine coolant maintenance, and reduce the need for manual oil removal.

Why Remove Tramp Oil from CNC Coolant?

Support Coolant Maintenance

Removing floating tramp oil helps reduce surface-oil buildup in CNC and machine-tool coolant sumps.

Maintain Cleaner Sump Conditions

Continuous surface-oil removal helps keep coolant sumps cleaner and easier to maintain.

Reduce Manual Oil Removal

A properly installed Mini-Skimmer continuously collects floating oil, reducing the need for manual skimming.

Which Mini-Skimmer Is Right for Your CNC Sump?

Select the Mini-Skimmer style based on duty cycle, sump size, available clearance, and coolant conditions. Cogged and flat polyurethane belt models cover most machine-tool coolant applications, while the R.S. is intended for intermittent use and the T.S. is designed for tight-access installations.

Cogged Poly Mini-Skimmer

Best for: Continuous machine-tool and CNC coolant skimming

The positive-drive cogged polyurethane belt resists slipping and stretching, making it the standard Mini-Skimmer choice for reliable tramp-oil removal in machine-tool coolant systems.

Flat Poly Mini-Skimmer

Best for: Light to medium duty CNC and machine-tool coolant applications

The flat polyurethane belt provides an economical option for routine tramp-oil removal where polyurethane is compatible with the coolant and operating conditions.

Mini-Skimmer R.S.

Best for: Small coolant sumps and intermittent skimming needs

The compact R.S. is designed for applications where the skimmer only needs to operate periodically, making it well suited to smaller sumps and light-duty maintenance.

Tube-Style Mini-Skimmer T.S.

Best for: Tight coolant sumps and installations with limited vertical access

The tube-style T.S. provides continuous-duty oil skimming where a conventional belt skimmer has limited clearance or a tube can reach the oil surface more easily.
