Oil Skimmers

CNC oil skimmers that lift tramp oil off the coolant before it turns the sump rancid. EASYCUT belt oil skimmers, made in Korea, with an impeller that pulls the oil toward the belt: free-standing S models sit in or next to the tank, hanging F models mount on its wall. R versions add a remote control. Spare belts and motors are stocked too.

Lead time is 5 business days for any model. Order online 24/7, no quote needed.

Industrial Oil Skimmers for CNC Coolant Tanks

An oil skimmer does one job: it takes the oil that floats on top of the coolant and puts it in a container instead. On a CNC machine that oil comes from the machine itself — way lube, hydraulic leaks, spindle and gearbox oil. A CNC oil skimmer removes it continuously, so the coolant stays a coolant.

Why Tramp Oil Removal Matters

A layer of tramp oil seals the coolant surface from air. Under it, bacteria that live without oxygen take over, and that is the rotten-egg smell when the machine starts on Monday. Tramp oil also breaks down the emulsion, smokes in the cut, leaves parts and hands sticky, and shortens coolant life. An oil skimmer for CNC machines is one of the cheapest ways to make a tank of coolant last.

Signs the tank needs a skimmer:

A shiny film or brown layer on the coolant surface.
Coolant smells after the machine has been standing.
Smoke from the cut and an oily mist in the enclosure.
Coolant concentration that is hard to read on the refractometer — the oil blurs the line.

How Belt Oil Skimmers Work

A belt runs down into the coolant and back up through wiper blades. Oil sticks to the belt better than water does, so the belt lifts it out, and the wipers scrape it into a drain to a container. Inside the skimming zone, an impeller draws the surface layer toward the belt and keeps the flow steady, so the skimmer collects oil from a wider area of the tank, not only from the strip that touches the belt.

Skimmer Technologies and Mounting Options

Belt oil skimmers handle medium and large tanks well and keep working when the coolant level rises and falls. Tube oil skimmers and disk skimmers work on the same principle and are typically used in compact setups or tanks with awkward shapes. All EASYCUT skimmers are belt type, in two mounting styles:

Free standing (S240, S330): sits in or next to the tank, no modification needed. The easy choice when you want to move it between machines.
Hanging (F330, F450): mounts on the tank wall with a rigid bracket and stays in place. Good for tanks with little free space around them.
R models (S240R, S330R, F330R, F450R): the same skimmers with a remote control, handy when the skimmer sits deep inside the machine.

None of them needs a magnetic base, and they fit the coolant tanks of Haas, Doosan, Okuma, Mazak and other CNC machines.

Getting the most from a skimmer

Place it where oil collects — a calm corner of the tank, away from the coolant return.
Run it when the machine stands, too. Oil rises to the surface once the coolant stops moving, which is when skimming works best.
Empty the oil container before it overflows back into the tank.
Replace the belt when it is worn or glazed: a spare urethane belt for the 240 series and motors are in stock.
