Portable inline fluid reclamation machine
HydroFlow’s SumpDoc inline fluid reclamation machine has been modified and downsized so an operator can push it easily from location to location.
The SumpDoc provides coolant restoration and rejuvenation treatment of metalworking fluids in the machine tool sump with minimal operator interaction. There is no interruption in the production cycle or need to transport fluids. The portable device, an alternative to a central fluid recycling system or batch processing, can be wheeled next to a machine tool, parts washer, or rinse tank for fluid reclamation.
