Thinking Tramp Oil Skimmers?

A KELLER TKO PUMP/SKIMMER RAPIDLY SWEEPS OUT
TRAMP OIL, CLEANS AND AERATES THE ENTIRE SUMP

Get these benefits:
Extended tool life, improved parts finish
Smoke & odor eliminated
Multiplied coolant life = Much less machine downtime,
greatly reduced coolant purchase & disposal costs

With these exclusive Keller advantages:

Superior tramp oil separation - The Keller patented permanent oil separating (coalescing) element provides extraordinary surface area in a small package, providing excellent oil splitting in a compact design.

Rugged construction - By using only 1/2" air-driven pumps, Keller has eliminated the numerous operating and reliability problems associated with electrical pumps or smaller air diaphragm pumps.

Ease of setup and operation - A TKO unit ships UPS in one box, and setup time is about 15 minutes. Only a 1/4" compressed air line is required to run the unit. Minimal operator attention is needed.

Inexpensive - Even including the 1/2" air pump, the unique Keller TKO compact design is 30% to 50% less costly than other comparatively equipped systems.

How much money does a Keller Pump/Skimmer save?
About $4000 per sump per year---Payout 3 months (or less)!

How the TKO Pump/Skimmer works:
The self-priming air operated pump pulls the tramp
oil/coolant mixture from the surface of the sump through the
floating inlet device, then through a cartridge filter which
removes any chips from the fluid. The oil/coolant mixture is
then pumped through the patented Keller all-plastic
separator element immersed in a separator tank. The
cleaned coolant continuously returns to the sump. The oil
layer collects on the top of the separator tank and is
occasionally drained into a waste oil container, simply by
opening the oil drain valve. No other operator attention is
required.

Selecting and Installing a TKO Separator:
Three models of TKO Separators are offered, to satisfy
any combination of sump size, oil loading, and coolant
characteristics. [Selection criteria listed in table
below]
Each TKO Separator is shipped by UPS
complete, ready for setup. The customer supplies only
a 1/4" compressed air line. The unit may be set on the
floor adjacent to the sump, or hung on the machine tool
using the CLO-1 magnetic frame (see photo).
Model TKO-10.
Footprint (all models)-14" x 14"

TKO-6 mounted on machine tool with CLO-1 "Cling-On" magnetic frame.
The optional bag filter conveniently removes a large quantity of floating chips before the oily coolant is pumped to the separator tank.

Keller also supplies the ECO line of pump/skimmers for individual sumps with electrically driven pumps, rather than compressed air driven pumps on the TKO line. The ECO line may be considered as an economical alternative to the TKO line, provided that the coolant has a relatively low level of suspended solids; for example, coolant in the supply tank of high pressure coolant systems.
