Fluid Management

XYBEX™ Li’l Sucker™ Fluid Management System – for quick, easy, and affordable sump cleaning

Metal chips and fines in the bottom of machine sumps cause a host of problems: shortened coolant life, damage to workpieces, marred finishes, bacterial growth, foul odor, and dermatitis

Every metalworking plant faces the problem of how to clean machines effectively yet minimize machine tool downtime. With Li’l Sucker, chips, fines, and sludge are quickly sucked from the sump without machine tools sitting idle for extended period

Small but mighty 80-gallon Li’l Sucker

• cleans sumps thoroughly while minimizing machine tool downtime
• 2” hose sucks out sludge, chips, and other waste from sump
• portable and fits where floor space is a premium
• reusable easy-change liner filters to 50 microns

Compact, low- to mid-flow, fluid-driven proportional injector. Segregates harsh chemicals from critical internal components.

The new Palm Abbe is a fourth-generation digital handheld refractometer that puts laboratory precision in the palm of your hand. Not just laboratory precision, but laboratory precision for the price of a traditional analog refractometer. It is exactly the kind of bold, cutting-edge technology you would expect from MISCO, the company that pioneered the digital handheld refractometer.

The Palm Abbe refractometer is fast, convenient, and easy to use. Simply place a drop or two of fluid in the titanium well and press a button. The custom-designed microprocessor delivers a nearly instantaneous readout in degrees Brix. Nonlinear temperature compensation is automatic and insures that fluids read between 0°C and 50°C (32°F to 122°F) are measured accurately.

The large LCD display is easily read, even in dim light, and removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions. And, it is so easy to use! The user interface consists of two buttons, one to take readings and the other to step through various menu options.

Calibration is automatic and does not require the use of special calibration solutions, or tools. The Palm Abbe refractometer automatically calibrates itself to water and is ready to use in seconds. No more screws to turn and nothing to adjust.

Optical refractometer for quick fluid sample readings.

Tramp oil is a major source of problems associated with water miscible cutting and grinding fluids.

Tramp oil contributes to the growth and formation of:

• coolant-destroying bacteria
• undesirable residues on machine tools and workpieces
• smoke and oil mist in shop atmospheres

These problems result in:

• shortened coolant life
• poor material removal rates
• poor surface finish and size control
• decreased tool and wheel life

Numerous devices ("floating ropes," wheels, and belts) have been developed over the years to remove "free floating" tramp oil from the surface of coolant. While they have all worked to one degree or another, they generally have been either "troublesome," high maintenance, relatively ineffective, or able to operate only on limited liquid level fluctuations.

As a "belt-type" skimmer, these units are effective in removing floating oil from widely fluctuating liquid levels of coolants or parts washing solutions. The SCROUNGER features a revolutionary new oleophilic belt and a totally new concept of stripping the separated oil from the belt. The SCROUNGER Jr. uses the same "oil loving" belt, but uses a more compact scraper blade to strip the separated oil from the belt.

Features

• 115 volt, single phase, 50/60 Hz
• heavy-duty, impedence-protected, fan-cooled drive motor with hardened shaft and needle bearings (220 volt, single phase, 50 Hz also available)
• open, accessible oil-collecting tray with a convenient drain connector
• "oil loving" oleophilic belt (purchased separately)
• heavy-duty steel construction, with industrial-grade enamel paint

Benefits

• fast, simple belt changing
• low maintenance
• lower hang roller that will not fall off in the machine sump even in turbulent conditions

Options

• dewatering tray
• portable kit
• special length belts available on special order
• special belt materials available for high temperature or pH applications on special order

SCROUNGER Jr Belts

• all belts 1" [25mm] wide
• 24" [610mm]
• 32" [815mm]
• 44" [1120mm]

A perfect match-up with the PurifierPlus is the XYBEX ChipOut. It is also a compact, easy-to-use, affordable solution for optimizing production. It simply and effectively sucks out the coolant, chips, and swarf to collect and filter all solid impurities and return clean coolant to the tank.

Get the most from your coolant with ChipOut. It literally pays for itself in no time with significant cost savings.

XYBEX ChipOut
• Separates surface debris, bottom chips and swarf, and sediment from coolant
• Extends coolant life
• Improves surface finish on parts
• Reduces maintenance
• Uses diaphram pump air pressure, no electricity required
• High suction power, flow rate of 180 liters/min
• Runs during production without shutting off machine tools
• Adjustable stainless steel filters: standard mesh 380 microns; optional: 830 microns and 180 microns
• Optional floating device for maximum tramp oil collection
• Portable and easy to use with multiple machines
• Operates with water-soluble coolants or neet oils
Cost effective ChipOut adds up to big savings
• Reduces annual coolant cost
• Reduces expensive parts rejects
• Reduces maintenance to a minimum

Looking for a fast, affordable way to have longer coolant life, reduce maintenance, and achieve better machinability and surface finish? Hardworking ChipOut Plus delivers all that and more in a compact, portable system that can hook up to machines throughout the shop.

It does double time, as both a centrifugal and magnetic separator for water-based cutting fluids or neat oils. It’s simple to use, powerful, and efficient.

First, the suction hose draws in the liquid and impurities. The filtration bucket traps large impurities before the sludge-containing fluid enters the centrifugal separator where fine particles are separated out by centrifugal force. The sludge then enters the powerful magnetic separator which efficiently removes magnetic metallic shavings and particles. Just like its name implies, it takes out chips - plus more!

XYBEX ChipOut Plus
• Separates surface debris, magnetic dust and shavings, chips, swarf, and sediment from coolant
• Extends coolant life
• Improves surface finish on parts
• Reduces maintenance
• Separates using centrifugal and magnetic force
• Provides extremely fine filtration

The portable, cost-effective XYBEX PurifierPlus system pays for itself with material cost savings, reduced downtime and recycling costs. Not only does it enhance production and make the workplace cleaner, it also is better for employee health and the environment.

Unlike units which simply separate machine tramp oil (the unwanted byproduct of the machining/metalworking process) from coolant, PurifierPlus has an ozone disinfection function which kills bacteria. Not only is the coolant cleaned and lasts longer, it’s purified and reused, and the subsequent problematic stench from bacteria and fungal growth is eliminated.

Improve production, reduce costs, and experience a cleaner workplace with PurifierPlus.
