3D Printed CNC Oil Skimmer Separator Tank with Mesh Strainer

Improve machine coolant lifespan and keep your sump clean with this custom 3D-printed oil skimmer separator tank. Designed to capture tramp oil removed by generic belt or disk skimmers, this tank prevents oil re-circulation, extends fluid life, and drastically reduces foul odours, foaming, and bacterial growth in your machine tool coolant.

Key Features & Benefits

• Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with all standard disk, belt, or tube oil skimmers via a universal drain inlet.
• Removable Mesh Strainer Basket: Includes a removable top strainer tray to catch swarf, metal chips, and coarse debris before fluid enters the separation chamber.
• Brass Threaded Mounts: Features integrated brass heat-set inserts on the mounting tabs for reliable, vibration-proof fixing alongside machine sumps.
• Coolant & Chemical Resistant: Printed in high-grade, chemical-resistant engineering polymer designed to withstand water-soluble coolants, cutting fluids, and tramp oils.
• Automatic Gravity Separation: Allows clean coolant to settle and drain back into the sump while isolating tramp oil for effortless waste disposal.

How It Works

As your skimmer discharges mixed fluid, the removable mesh tray catches any floating swarf or chips. The mixture enters the main chamber where oil naturally rises to the top layer while clean coolant flows under the internal baffle and returns back to the machine reservoir, keeping your coolant fresh and free of tramp oil.

Ideal For

• CNC Milling Machines, CNC Lathes, & Manual Machine Tools
• Water-soluble oil and synthetic coolant sumps
• Hobbyist workshops and professional precision machining environments
