The resource recovery field takes a leap forward with the successful joining together of the two leading methods of liquid-liquid separation into one composite system. The 400% increase in flow-thru capability resulting from joining the highly efficient, patented Voraxial Separator with a conventional centrifuge results in an liquid-liquid separator system more effective than any other in the market today.

A major application for the Voraxial Composite Separator is the machine tool industry. Specifically, owners of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tools will benefit immensely from the purchase and operation of the Voraxial Composite Separator. The CNC Voraxial Composite Separator will result in the highest quality coolant recovery with major reduction in tramp oil disposal costs.

 

VAS1005.1 CNC - VORAXIAL COMPOSITE SEPARATOR - (5GPM)


Oil contamination is a pervasive disposal problem for all types of industrial manufacturers. In instances where a specific type of application oil is used, contamination with water or cross contamination with other types of oils poses serious operating problems and expensive disposal costs.


Manufacturers who own and operate CNC machining centers utilize highly specialized cutting oil mixed with water to act as a coolant during the cutting operations. The contamination of the coolant with tramp oils (hydraulic and way oil) renders the coolant undesirable for machining purposes and must be replaced and discarded on a regular basis. Presently the contaminated coolant is picked up by a scavenger at great cost to the manufacturer, and a new expensive mix of coolant is added to the CNC machine.

The industrial separation and recovery market has, until now, been unable to economically address the costly disposal of contaminated coolant. The Voraxial Composite Separator now changes the entire approach from the costly disposal of coolant to the effective and affordable recovery and reuse of the coolant with minimal cost of disposal of separated tramp oils.

Why purchase a Voraxial Composite Separator?
• Excessive cost to dispose of contaminated cutting fluid/coolant waste
• CNC machines unable to hold close tolerances
• Excessive down time resulting from numerous tool changes and replacements
• Dirty cutting fluid/coolant that causes extra maintenance of equipment components
• Less than expected employee efficiency resulting from machine downtime and product rework
• Employee discontent about working on rancid, smelly machines
• Way and hydraulic oil contaminants in coolant burn which causes blue haze in shop


Who should purchase a Voraxial Composite Separator?
• Every manufacturing facility with 5 or more CNC machines. Any combination of Mills and Lathes
• Every manufacturing facility changing/cleaning coolant on each machine once per month or more
• Every manufacturing facility who uses a scavenger for hauling and disposal of contaminated coolant and waste oils

What direct savings can we expect per machine based on economical
coolant management?

• Presently manufacturers pay very high costs to dispose of contaminated coolant (water, cutting oil, way oil and hydraulic fluid)from CNC chip pans - $5 to $10 per gallon
• 50 gallons per month @ $7.50/gallon x 12 months = $4,500 per year per machine
• The patented Voraxial Composite Separator dramatically reduces the disposal costs by
reclaiming the coolant component for reuse and reducing the contaminant component
for disposal by 90%.
• Replacement of cutting oil 5 gallons per month @ $10/gallon x 12 months = $600 per
year per machine


Yearly Savings = $5,100.00 for 1 machine every year
Yearly Savings = $25,500.00 for 5 machines every year
Yearly Savings = $51,000.00 for 10 machines every year


Benefits from purchase of Voraxial Composite Separator
• Save 85% of tramp oil (way and hydraulic oil) disposal costs
• Less major equipment repairs which result from clogged coolant pumps
• Reuse cleaned cutting fluid many times over
• Pleasant machine work environment
• No oil to burn, no haze, shop smells clean, AC filters stay clean

 

The Voraxial Composite Separator
• VAS1005.1 CNC Voraxial Composite Separator runs for one hour a day to clean 50 gallons of coolant contaminated with its tramp oils (up to 100,000 ppm -10%)
• Coolant is cleaned of the tramp oils to less than 2,000 ppm (0.2%) and is ready for reuse in machine ( <100ppm optional)
• With equipment properly plumbed to a holding tank, CNC equipment does not need to be shut down for maintenance

 

Bonus Savings to shop operator from extended tool life
• Less costs incurred to replace prematurely worn cutting tools
• Less down time for tool changes and replacement
• Employee efficiency improves
• Improve machine accuracy
• Improved machine accuracy => fewer bad parts => less rework
• Extend tool life => fewer tool purchases => Improve profit margin

Bonus Savings (extended tool life) can be expressed as follows:
•Bonus Savings per machine at $20.00 per day per machine - 5 days / 52 week
