What is the role of centrifuges in coolant recycling?
Centrifuges are used in an attempt to remove emulsified oil from machine coolants. When centrifuges are fed raw dirty coolant they are quickly overwhelmed by oils, grease and solids. Centrifuges are expensive capital purchases and are very labor intensive devices to maintain. Centrifuges also remove good coolant components, such as defoamers and biocides. When you use a good coolant that rejects oil, simple, effective recycling using open channel coalescing and gravity separation provided by the CoolantLoop™ can supply all the coolant treatment most people will ever need.

FIrst, it s the right pump for the application. Centrifugal pumps will shear oil molecules into smaller pieces due to their high mechanical impact on the oil. Positive displacement pumps transfer packets of fluid which has litttle or no impact on the fluids bei
