What kind of maintenance does the CoolantLoop™ need?
We build our CoolantLoop™ Systems with ease of maintenance as our primary goal. All separations and waste flows are designed to work by gravity, minimizing pumps and consumables and expense. Captured oil typically drains by gravity to a customer supplied oil capture drum or tote. Solids are manually drained from the Crossflow Separator as needed, typically once every 4 to 6 months. The solids discharge flow can be filtered to eliminate any fluid waste. Here are a few general maintenance guidelines… EACH SHIFT. Check skimmer operations (about 1 minute), check pressure drop across FilterLoop™ bag filter assembly (about 1 minute) Change bags when pressure differential across bag reaches 10 PSI. Check level in oil capture drum (about 1 minute). Change drums as needed. WEEKLY. If an optional magnetic separator has been installed with your FilterLoop™ components, it should be checked for cleaning (about 1 minute). Check the air filter element on the pneumatic controls supplying the AOD tra
