Tramp Oil Skimmers For Single Sumps

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 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.
