Fluid Recycling System with a Centrifugal Separator | Continuous Sludge Separation Without Filters | Extend Oil and Coolant Service Life | Reduce New Oil Purchasing Costs by Up to 50%

As oil prices continue to rise every year, frequent oil replacement is no longer just an inconvenience—it is a cost that eats into factory profits every day.

TOUTO SEPARATOR ASIA LTD. provides a fluid recycling system using a Centrifugal Separator for industrial factories in Thailand. The system can be used as a coolant oil sludge separator for grinding and metal cutting processes. With no filter required, fluids can be continuously circulated and reused in the production process.

Energy Cost Situation and Its Impact on Factories

Oil prices in Thailand have shown a continuing upward trend, partly due to pressure from tensions in the Middle East, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important oil transportation routes. Political uncertainty in the region causes fluctuations in global crude oil prices and pushes costs higher.

This impact directly affects industrial factories, especially those using CNC machines, press machines, forging machines, and grinding machines that require CNC coolant filtration systems and consume large amounts of cutting oil, hydraulic oil, and coolant.

Purchasing new oil to replace contaminated oil is therefore becoming an increasingly significant cost burden. A fluid recycling system using a Centrifugal Separator provides a direct solution for maintaining factory competitiveness.

Overview of the Fluid Recycling System

TOUTO’s Centrifugal Separator is designed to separate sludge and contaminants from fluids used in production processes without relying on filters. Its filterless design allows continuous operation without problems caused by filter clogging.

Key benefits of the system include:

• Extending the service life of cutting oil and coolant: Reduces the frequency of fluid replacement
• Reducing new oil purchasing costs: Allows fluids to be continuously circulated and reused in the production line
• Reducing the amount of waste requiring disposal: Reduces environmental burden and waste disposal costs
• Reducing machine downtime: Eliminates the need to frequently stop production lines for oil replacement

Product Specifications

The system supports a wide range of flow rates to suit the size and production processes of each factory:

Sludge and Contaminant Separation Performance

TOUTO’s Centrifugal Separator can separate both metallic and non-metallic sludge, covering materials commonly found in general manufacturing processes:

• Metal Sludge: Suitable for use as a grinding oil sludge separator and cutting oil sludge separator, including iron, aluminum, titanium, copper, and stainless steel
• Non-Metallic Materials: Ceramic, glass, and silicone
• Other Contaminants: Synthetic resin paint sludge

Consistently maintaining fluid cleanliness also helps reduce scratches on workpieces, directly contributing to a lower reject rate in the production line.

Improvement of the Working Environment

The benefits of a Centrifugal Separator are not limited to cost reduction. The system also contributes to improving the quality of the working environment inside the factory.

Cleaning oil sumps is a task that regularly exposes workers to HDDS (Harsh, Dirty, Dangerous, Smelly) conditions. A centrifugal separator helps reduce sludge accumulation within the system, decreases the frequency of sump cleaning, and reduces unpleasant odors in the work area.

In addition, machines can operate continuously for longer periods because production lines do not need to be stopped frequently for fluid replacement.

Performance Testing and Support

TOUTO SEPARATOR ASIA LTD. provides support from the testing stage through to actual operation:

• Separation Test (Work Test): Separation performance is tested using an actual fluid sample from the customer’s worksite, with a volume of approximately 60 liters. The results are analyzed to support decision-making before installation.
• Demo Machine: Demo machines are available for loan so that customers can test actual operation on their production lines, subject to conditions and mutual agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the system separate sludge smaller than 10 microns?
A: Separation performance does not depend solely on particle size. It also depends on the difference in specific gravity between the sludge and the fluid. If the difference is sufficient, the centrifugal system can effectively separate small sludge particles.

Q: How often does the filter need to be replaced?
A: TOUTO’s Centrifugal Separator operates with a filterless system, so there are no consumable costs associated with filter replacement, and there is no need to worry about clogging during operation.

Q: Can the system be used with forging machines?
A: Yes. The separator helps remove iron particles and contaminants mixed with lubricating oil or coolant used in the forging process.
