Industry · Tube & pipe mills

Clean coolant back to the mill,
at the flow rate it demands.

EdjeTech's largest system was developed for tube mill facilities from the start. The Tube Mill Coolant Recovery System filters coolant continuously at the flow required by the mill, removing tube oil and ferrous and non-ferrous fines while the line runs.

Each TMCRS is engineered to the mill's required flow, tube-oil load, and particulate profile.

Real-time tube-mill coolant recovery

Engineered for the required mill flow and contaminant load

The Tube Mill Coolant Recovery System was developed for tube mill facilities from the start. It filters the mill's coolant in real time and returns it clean at the flow rate the line demands, engineered around tube oils and continuous ferrous and non-ferrous chip load.

Continuous contamination needs continuous recoveryA running mill sheds tube oils and ferrous and non-ferrous fines into the coolant without pause. Batch processing used in machine shops does not meet continuous mill demand; the recovery system must operate at the mill's required flow rate.
Engineered to your mill, sized per orderTube-oil loading determines the oil-removal stage, while the ferrous and non-ferrous particulate mix determines the solids-filtration stages. Each system is built to the plant.
More than 40 years of fluid-recovery engineeringTMCRS equipment is built and serviced in Ohio, with application engineering and parts support based on the installed model and component availability.
Operating benefits of cleaner mill coolant

Cleaner coolant for mill components and process consistency

Tube oil and particulate accumulate on the rolls and in the coolant pit. Real-time recovery supports cleaner mill components, lower solids accumulation, and more consistent coolant condition.

Cleaner rollers

Removing tube oil and fines reduces accumulation on forming and sizing rolls.

Galling control

Lower particulate recirculation helps reduce material that can score the tube.

Welder & impeder

Cleaner coolant supports consistent conditions around the weld box.

Pump protection

Lower contaminant loading reduces abrasive material circulating through the pumps.

Fewer pit cleanouts

Continuous oil and particulate removal reduces pit accumulation, while aeration helps suppress bacterial conditions associated with stagnant coolant.

TMCRS operating specifications

Real-time coolant recovery at mill flow

TMCRS integrates permanently with the mill coolant circuit and filters the required flow during production.

990 gpm
Systems have processed up to 990 GPM and can scale to 1,600 GPM or more. Each TMCRS is engineered around the mill's required flow.
99.75%
Ferrous and non-ferrous particulate and tramp oil removed by volume, filtering contaminants from 10 to 50 microns. Magnetic separation takes 98% of the ferrous load and self-discharges.
≤2%
Water in the recovered tramp oil. Potential reclamation or reuse depends on composition, waste classification, and recipient requirements.
Real-time
Clean coolant returned at the flow rate required by the mill, with 99% or greater system uptime. Continuous aeration helps suppress anaerobic bacterial conditions, and the proportioner mixes water and concentrate at the required concentration.
Integrated T.O.S.S. oil separation

The TMCRS process incorporates EdjeTech's Tramp Oil Separation System to remove free and mechanically dispersed tube oil continuously.

Application questions

Tube-mill coolant recovery

  • 01

    What does a tube mill coolant system remove?

    Tube oils plus ferrous and non-ferrous particulate: the TMCRS removes 99.75% by volume, filtering contaminants from 10 to 50 microns, with magnetic separation taking 98% of the ferrous load.

  • 02

    What happens to the tube oil that comes out?

    Recovered oil contains 2% water or less. Potential reclamation or reuse depends on its composition, waste classification, and the receiving facility's requirements.

  • 03

    What flow rates can the system handle?

    Each TMCRS is engineered around the mill's required flow. Systems have processed up to 990 GPM and can scale to 1,600 GPM or more.

    Request application sizing →
  • 04

    How does the system help control coolant odor and bacteria?

    Continuous coolant movement and aeration help suppress the anaerobic conditions associated with stagnant, degraded coolant.

  • 05

    Does TMCRS filter coolant while the mill operates?

    Yes. TMCRS is a permanent, automatic stage in the coolant circuit that filters in real time and returns clean coolant at the flow required by the mill. System uptime is 99% or greater.
