Clean large coolant sumps quickly with 110 Gallon Chip Trapper

The EXAIR Model 6198 110 Gallon Chip Trapper

EXAIR Corporation’s long line of industrial compressed-air equipment includes several designs of chip trappers, which are used to clean large coolant sumps. Because metal chips can easily block the intake of the coolant pump of a machine sump and cause pricey damage to tools and parts, it is important to clean these sumps on a regular basis.

The largest of EXAIR’s patented chip trappers, the Model 6198 110 Gallon Chip Trapper, is capable of making coolant last four times longer than the standard six weeks.

Eliminating lost productivity and downtime

The EXAIR 110 Gallon Chip Trapper is perfect for use on any machines with large sumps, part washers, tanks, and storage containers. It provides a faster, easier method of cleaning coolants and similar liquids, removing not only chips, but also swarf and shavings. This eliminates the lost productivity and downtime that result from heat-related damage to valuable equipment.

These chip trappers work by vacuuming dirty coolant into a 110-gallon drum and trapping all of the solids in a filter bag that can be reused over and over. Then the trapper pumps clean coolant back out when the user turns a simple flow valve. The device does not use any motors or impellers that may clog or wear out, eliminating extra cleaning or replacement, and a built-in pressure and vacuum relief helps to prevent spills and overfill, as does the automatic shutoff – ensuring safe use for all applications.

Among the additional features of the Model 6198 110 Gallon Chip Trapper:

• Stainless steel two-way pump;
• Lever lock drum lid;
• Three-metre vacuum hose;
• Six-metre compressed-air hose;
• Chip wand;
• Two filter bags;
• Drum dolly; and
• Optional Spill Recovery Kit.
