Muscle tramp oil coalescer Copyright Zebra Skimmers Corp. Muscle™ Tramp Oil Coalescer for Water-based Fluids

Sump circulation is key to preventing excessive bacterial growth. Bacteria will break down your coolant and create problems like those shown in the Coolant Troubleshooting Guide in Free Resources.

The Muscle is recommended for use on individual sumps, operating day and night. Tramp oil is removed and the sump circulates even if the machine's pump is off.

  • Choose from three models
  • Choose from four intake attachments
  • Multiple pump options:
    • NEW & IMPROVED submersible centrifugal pump
    • Air diaphragm pump for tough jobs
  • Permanent coalescing media accelerates oil collection
  • 15 minute hold time
  • Heavy-duty spin-welded fittings prevent leaks
  • Fine Stopper (F15DF model) captures fines. Five 100µ bags standard. Other sizes also available.
  • Crush resistant hoses can be customized. 4 foot standard.
  • Clean coolant returned back to sump via gravity.
  • Built-in siphon makes the coalescer easy to empty.
  • Drum dolly (standard on F15DF model only, order separately for others) allows easy movement between machine sumps
  • Backup aeration (certain models only)

How It Works

  1. Muscle coalescer how it worksDirty coolant is pulled from your sump surface (using an intake attachment) into the coalescing tank.
  2. The Fine-Stopper (on F15DF only) captures recirculating fines.
  3. The oleophilic (oil attracting) coalescing media gathers tiny oil droplets that are too tiny to rise to the surface on their own. The surface area of our media collects enough of them together, until they become large enough to float. Muscle will remove all oils that float our within 15 minutes.
  4. Oil accumulates in the Internal Oil Discharge Skimmer and is manually discharged, as needed, via the spigot.
  5. Clean coolant is returned from the bottom of the tank back to your sump via gravity.
  6. Optional drum dolly (standard on F15DF model only).

FAQ tramp oil coalescersTestimonial - Muscle
"We are currently changing filters about once a month. Our machines run about 50-60 hours a week. We are cutting mostly tool steel which is fairly clean. On a positive note, the air quality in our die shop has improved since we started using your products. The stench of spoiled coolant and tramp oil is no longer an issue. Thanks for your help." Greg Freeland, Programming Supervisor, Impact Forge, Remington, IN, Sep 2010

Flexor™ Tramp Oil Coalescer for Water-based Fluids

Tramp oil separation is further advanced with patent pending Flexor technology, the most advanced on the market today. In this Muscle model, a venturi at the fluid surface creates a turbulent zone to draw in perimeter oil and concentrates it within the central coalescing cartridge.

  • F16 – Next generation technology active coalescer
  • Featuring the first ever
    • Internal surface skimmer (pat. pending)
    • and more powerful pump
  • Liberating 90% of the surface – giving you:
    • Visual confirmation that it's working
    • Easy access to the fluid for monitoring concentration
  • Automatically freshens and aerates
