Hydraulic oils, lubricants, machining fluids, and other contaminants can accumulate as tramp oil in aqueous parts washers during normal operation. If left untreated, this contamination can reduce cleaning effectiveness, shorten wash solution life, increase chemical consumption, and contribute to higher maintenance and disposal costs. Implementing an effective oil removal system helps maintain cleaner wash solutions, improve cleaning consistency, and support more efficient parts washing operations.

Alliance Manufacturing offers engineered tramp oil removal system solutions designed to remove free-floating oils from aqueous cleaning systems. Whether through oil coalescing or oil skimming technologies, our solutions help manufacturers extend wash solution life, improve operational efficiency, and maximize the performance of industrial parts washers.

Why Tramp Oil Removal Matters for Parts Washing

Tramp oil contamination can significantly affect the performance of aqueous parts washing systems. Removing free-floating oils helps maintain solution quality, improve cleaning consistency, and reduce the operating costs associated with frequent solution replacement and equipment maintenance.

• Extended Wash Solution Life: Removing tramp oil slows contamination buildup within the wash tank, helping preserve cleaning solution quality and reducing the frequency of bath replacement.
• Reduced Chemical and Detergent Consumption: Cleaner wash solutions maintain detergent effectiveness for longer periods, helping reduce chemical replenishment while supporting consistent cleaning performance throughout production.
• Improved Cleaning Consistency: Reducing oil contamination helps minimize the redeposition of soils and oils onto cleaned components, supporting more reliable and repeatable cleaning results.
• Lower Waste Disposal Requirements: Extending wash solution life decreases the volume of spent cleaning solution requiring treatment or disposal, helping reduce waste management costs.
• Reduced Equipment Maintenance: Removing accumulated tramp oil helps keep tanks, pumps, and other system components cleaner, supporting efficient operation and minimizing routine maintenance requirements.

Tramp Oil Removal Systems from Alliance Manufacturing

Alliance Manufacturing offers two oil removal systems designed to address varying contamination levels, flow requirements, and aqueous cleaning applications. Each solution removes free-floating tramp oil while helping improve cleaning system efficiency and extend wash solution life.

• Aqualescer Oil Coalescer: The Aqualescer Oil Coalescer is a stainless-steel parallel plate oil coalescer available in five standard models with flow capacities ranging from 0.5 to 3.0 GPM. It continuously recirculates cleaning solution through the coalescing chamber, allowing free-floating tramp oil to separate from the aqueous solution before cleaner solution is returned to the wash tank.
• Aquaskim Oil Skimmer: The Aquaskim Oil Skimmer is a belt-type tramp oil removal system capable of removing up to 6 gallons of waste oil per hour, depending on oil viscosity and operating conditions. Its 4-inch-wide stainless-steel belt continuously lifts floating oil from the solution surface and directs it into a separate collection container.

Benefits of Alliance Manufacturing’s Oil Removal Systems

Alliance Manufacturing’s oil removal systems help manufacturers improve parts washer performance by controlling tramp oil contamination, extending wash solution life, and reducing the operating costs associated with aqueous cleaning processes.

• Extended Wash Solution Life: Continuously removing tramp oil helps preserve wash solution quality, allowing cleaning baths to remain effective for longer operating periods before replacement becomes necessary.
• Reduced Chemical Consumption: Maintaining cleaner wash solutions improves detergent performance, helping reduce chemical replenishment requirements and supporting lower operating costs over time.
• Improved Cleaning Performance: Removing free-floating oil minimizes contaminant redeposition on cleaned parts, supporting more consistent cleaning quality across varying production volumes.
• Lower Disposal Costs: Longer-lasting wash solutions reduce the frequency of bath replacement, helping decrease wastewater treatment and disposal requirements while improving overall process efficiency.
• Minimize Maintenance Downtime: Reducing oil accumulation within cleaning equipment helps limit fouling of tanks and system components, supporting reliable operation and reducing maintenance interruptions.
