Description
Small machine shops with tight lathe aisles struggle to clear oily chips and sump coolant using clumsy full-size drum extractors. The Delfin Tecnoil Mini (V611) 17 Gallon vacuum separates metal swarf from machine cutting fluids on standard 115 Volt power. Built for cramped machining spaces, this compact unit reclaims cutting oil, though its 17-gallon capacity requires frequent emptying on large milling machines.
Heavy 14-gauge rolled carbon steel makes up the recovery drum, coated with chemical-resistant industrial enamel to withstand corrosive cutting fluids. A galvanized steel mesh sieve basket suspends inside the tank to catch metal shavings while letting oil drain into the base. The upper powerhead encloses an industrial bypass motor protected by a mechanical shutoff float and an oil-mist foam filter, preventing cutting lubricant droplets from contacting the electrical armature.
Compact Sump Extraction Profile
Precision machine tool operators need nimble extraction equipment that fits between tight rows of lathes and grinders. This compact separation unit isolates solid swarf from liquid fluids through dedicated mechanical filtration.
- 1100-Watt Bypass Motor generates strong negative suction on standard 115 Volt electrical drops.
- Removable Galvanized Sieve Basket strains metal turnings while allowing cutting fluids to drain.
- 17-Gallon Enamel Coated Steel Drum stores recovered coolant for machine tool sump servicing.
- Mechanical Float Shutoff Valve stops suction draw on liquid contact to protect motor components.
- Lower Fluid Drain Valve discharges filtered cutting oils straight back into machine reservoirs.
- Polyurethane Foam Mist Filter blocks oil vapor droplets from entering motor cooling channels.
- Compact Heavy Steel Frame rolls on oil-resistant polyurethane wheels through narrow machine aisles.
Bench Run Fluid Telemetry
Dynamometer fluid testing demonstrates suction of 17 gallons of machine coolant in 26 seconds through a 1.5-inch oil-resistant hose. Electrical current pulls 9.4 Amps on 115 Volt line drops under continuous liquid draw. Motor housing surface temperatures peak at 144°F after 45 minutes of cyclic sump evacuation in a 74°F room. Static suction gauges display 96 inches of water lift alongside 115 CFM free airflow. Acoustic sound measurements log 72 dBA at 4 feet.
Machine Shop Service Advice
The compact cart maneuvers around machine pedestals without sticking, but rolling an un-drained 17-gallon unit over thick floor cables risks spilling oily coolant. Tool rooms and precision CNC shops gain clean coolant recovery, but operators pulling dry concrete grinding dust will pack the metal chip basket and foul the foam mist filter.
- Wash the galvanized chip basket each day with clean solvent to stop swarf hardening.
- Rinse the polyurethane foam mist filter every week to maintain steady motor cooling air.
- Inspect the bottom liquid drain valve seal every 30 days for swarf cutting damage.
