Eriez® SumpDoc™ Keeps Coolant in Top Condition, Reducing Need to Dump and Refill Fluid

The Eriez® SumpDoc™, the only coolant maintenance equipment on the market that combines both sump cleaning and tramp oil removal in one package, is improving productivity and reducing costs in metalworking facilities all over the world. Customers say SumpDoc is keeping their coolant clean longer and drastically decreasing the need to dump and refill fluid. A leading metalworking company in Alberta, Canada, reports SumpDoc is exceeding expectations and outperforming previously used competitive solutions. The plant operator observes that SumpDoc significantly extends the life of coolant, delivering noteworthy savings in terms of labor, fluid expenses and disposal costs. Eriez re-designed SumpDoc in 2017 based on customer input. The team focused on producing a more compact, affordable and user-friendly unit. The improved SumpDoc continues to receive positive reviews in the marketplace. Eriez Fluid Recycling Product Manager Ron Wendt says, “Eriez provides a SumpDoc evaluation form and economic justification model to allow prospective buyers to assess if the unit is the right match for their facility. The form enables them to crunch the numbers using their own data to determine return on investment.” SumpDoc serves as an alternative to a central fluid recycling system or batch processing. It supplies complete coolant restoration and rejuvenation treatment of the metalworking fluids in the machine tool sump and requires minimal operator interface. The portable SumpDoc can be wheeled next to a machine tool, parts washer or rinse tank to provide full-service fluid reclamation in a simple two-step process. -MoreFor Immediate Release Contact: Ed Stevens, Stevens Strategic Communications estevens@stevensstrategic.com John Blicha, Eriez jblicha@eriez.com The main components of the SumpDoc include a sump cleaner for removal of 50-micron and larger chips and solids, pleated bag filter and housing for removal of solids down to 10 micron, high speed centrifuge for removal of emulsified tramp oil and fines down to 3-5 micron, an ozone generator for microbiological treatment of coolants, and electrical controls with a touch screen dashboard.
