CNC Coolant Recovery Vacuum

Quickly Filter CNC Metalworking Fluid

The Sump Shark® sump cleaner is a high-suction vacuum designed to efficiently remove fluid and heavy sludge from CNC coolant or oil tanks. Renowned in the industry for its superior features and functionality, this high-performance equipment filters and moves fluid and sludge at rates of 60 to 100 gallons per minute, depending on hose diameter, ensuring quick and safe sump cleaning.

It effectively removes and filters industrial fluids from machine tools for reuse, recycling, or transportation to a waste area within your facility. By upgrading to the Sump Shark®, you can improve your CNC coolant cleaning process and significantly reduce labor hours, moving away from traditional shop-vac and manual methods.

This tool not only keeps coolant tanks clean but also enhances your industrial metalworking operations. Even the heaviest sludge poses no challenge for our CNC coolant recovery vacuum. A few of the applications that benefited from Sump Shark® sump cleaners include general machining, screw machines, grinding, plasma cutting, and more.

CECOR Sump Shark® sump cleaners use pumps that only move air to create pressure or a vacuum in the tank. This design ensures that neither sludge nor metalworking fluid ever passes through the Sump Shark pumps, maintaining their integrity and prolonging their lifespan.
CECOR provides a complete range of solutions for sump maintenance, including Drum Top units, highest suction lift sump cleaners & high suction combination sump cleaner/dispensers. Our products are designed to help customers effectively keep their sumps clean and operating efficiently.

High Suction Lift:

The Sump Shark® excels at removing metalworking fluid, chips, and heavy sludge from dirty machine tool sumps. By doing so, it provides several cost-saving opportunities:

  1. Reduced Labor Costs: Cleaning sumps becomes more efficient.
  2. Improved Tool Wear: Cleaner metalworking fluid contributes to longer tool life.
  3. Reduced Fluid Costs: Reusing fluid helps cut down on fluid usage.
  4. Fresh Fluid: The Sump Shark® helps maintain the freshness of your metalworking fluid.

Safety

CECOR is the only sump cleaner manufacturer to offer a comprehensive three-step system to prevent over-pressurization in air powered units:

  1. Pressure Regulator – controls the operating pressure (6 psi) set at factory.
  2. Pressure Relief Valve – goes off at 8 to 9 psi (loud, unmufflered sound) alerting operator
  3. Rupture Disk – Shuts the unit off at 15 psi (only on air powered units)
Pressure GaugeAll CECOR units feature a pressure gauge that allows you to monitor the tank's status in real-time. This gauge provides valuable insights into the performance of your Sump Shark®, ensuring you are maintaining optimal operation and efficiency.

 

Float Control - 2 Balls

All CECOR sump cleaners are equipped with standard mechanical (non-electric) overflow protection, ensuring that the tank does not overflow when full. This safety feature provides peace of mind and helps maintain a clean, efficient workspace.

The optional DF4 discharge filter is available on all models if additional filtering is required for your operation.

 

Filter Media

Customer feedback indicates that our media can be reused multiple times, with some media bags lasting up to a year. This durability enhances efficiency and reduces the need for replacements.

CECOR offers three tested filter media fabrics for removing sludge that neatly fit inside the appropriate filter basket: F10, F23, and F50. With every sump cleaner purchase, CECOR includes all three media types, allowing customers to determine which option works best for their specific sludge. The three media types are:

  1. Poly (green) media
  2. Fine Cotton (white) media 
  3. Burlap (brown) media.

 

Tools

 CECOR includes 3 tools with every sump cleaner purchase:

 Sump Cleaner Tools

  2. Flex tool – Flexible end reaches around corners to access hard-to-reach areas.
  3. Flare tool – Cleans the bottom of the sump or can be used to pickup small puddles.

 

CECOR sump cleaning tools are designed to clean both the sump and, thanks to the high-speed dispensing capabilities of the Sump Shark sump cleaner, they allow you to wash down interior windows, walls, cutting surfaces, and any other areas that attract chips and sludge in a CNC machine. This comprehensive cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your equipment.
