The unit has a ten (10) gallons per hour capacity and is designed to automatically collect, drain, and recycle 99 percent of the flood coolant while still in operation (under vacuum). The coolant initially enters the top chamber and drains to the bottom chamber. Once the coolant reaches a switch in the bottom chamber, the unit automatically drains with approximately ten (10) pounds of air pressure applied to it (the customer needs to supply an air pressure source and an air fitting for the heavy-duty unit). No down time is needed to drain the self-sensing, self-contained storage area with sight glass. The unit operates on 115VAC, is easy to run, and mounts near the coolant tray of any type of machine - machining centers, grinders, routers, lathes, and many more.
