Application · Sump cleaning

Complete a typical sump cleaning in approximately 15 minutes.

A manual sump clean can require about four labor-hours. The air-powered Green Machine completes the same work in approximately 15 minutes with one operator.

Sump-cleaning requirements

Reduce sump-cleaning labor and downtime

Manual sump cleaning can keep a machine out of production for about four hours. Portable vacuum cleaning reduces the required labor, fluid handling, and time away from production.

Lost production. The machine is idle for the full cleanout, every cycle.
Manual fluid handling increases spill exposure and cleanup requirements.
Temporary fluid storage occupies floor space and complicates material handling.
Repeatable equipment operation simplifies sump-service planning.
Recommended equipment

Select single-tank or dual-tank operation

Both configurations operate on shop air without an electric motor and are designed for access between machines. Tank selection depends on whether the unit will only collect fluid or collect and return clean fluid.

Frequent sump-service cycles

Evaluate coolant recycling

When recurring coolant replacement and disposal increase costs across multiple machines, the same Green Machine can transfer dirty coolant to C.R.O.S.S. for shop-wide recovery and reuse.

Beyond sump-cleaning labor

Recover coolant when consumption and disposal also increase

Portable sump cleaning reduces service time. When coolant consumption and disposal also need to be reduced, the Green Machine can transfer dirty coolant to C.R.O.S.S. for contaminant removal, concentration control, and reuse.

Reduction in new coolant purchases once the same vacuum feeds a recycling loop, with up to 90% less disposal. See batch recycling →

The up to 85% new-fluid reduction and up to 90% disposal-cost reduction apply to C.R.O.S.S. coolant recycling. Results depend on coolant condition, contaminant load, operating practices, and system configuration.

Application questions

Planning sump-cleaning equipment

  • 01

    Which fluids are compatible?

    The Green Machine serves water-based coolants and washer-reservoir fluids. Straight oils and unusual viscosities require an application review.

    Request an application review
  • 02

    Can the system serve a small shop?

    Yes. Configurations are available for one or two sumps and for facilities with narrow machine aisles.

    See the unit
  • 03

    What is the difference between single and dual tank?

    The single-tank configuration collects fluid. The dual-tank DTS configuration collects dirty fluid and carries clean fluid for refill on the same visit.

    How does ownership compare with outsourced sump cleaning?

    Compare the equipment cost and approximately 15-minute cleaning cycle with current contractor expense, service frequency, and production downtime.
