FE-OL - Oil Separators & Skimmers
Industrial belt-type oil skimmers for CNC machines, lathes and coolant systems. Remove tramp oil to extend coolant life.
FE-OL belt-type oil separators remove tramp oil from CNC machine coolant tanks, grinding machines, washing systems and any application where oil contaminates water-based fluids. The patented belt design continuously skims floating oil from the surface, collecting it in a separate container while returning clean coolant to the tank.
By removing tramp oil, FE-OL skimmers extend coolant life by 2–5×, reduce bacterial growth and odour, improve surface finish quality and reduce coolant disposal costs. Available in belt widths from 25mm to 1400mm for tanks of all sizes.
OIL SEPARATOR 25 (FE-OL), 200mm
Vanishing Oil separator with its polyurethane belt 25 mm wide. It is recommended for lathes and milling machines with cooling tanks containing up to approx. 2000 liters. Work at a maximum temperature of 50 º. Its extraction capacity is 1.5 liters / hour. The best results are obtained when operating at 4.5 volts FEOL approx. 6 rounds / min. The FEOL is manufactured in three versions, with lengths using 200, 600 and 1400 mm. Intermediate steps can be supplied on demand. FEOL has conceived an easy-to-use system to separate lubricating oils from watery emulsions that get mixed in the trays of cnc tools machines or in centralised trays, bringing about various problems such as bad smells, deterioration of emulsion and/or skin irritation. These problems mean the machine has to be stopped frequently in order to replace the emulsion, thus leading to higher operating costs. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Check that there are no extraneous objects blocking the belt. By means of the special clamp, fasten the FEOL device to the trays from which the oil is to be removed; for the MAXI FEOL, use the clasp supplied. A tray should be placed alongside to collect the oil thus drawn off. Connect-up to the mains power supply. Make sure that it rotates the correct way. POWER SUPPLY Voltage rating: from 100V to 250V - 50 Hz 18W. Speed settings with potentiometer: 3 - 4.5 - 6 - 7.5 - 9 - 12 volts. BELT For FEOL: Polyurethane belt - max. temperature 50º For MAXI FEOL: Kevlar chain - max. temperature 100º MECHANICAL PARTS The structure is in 100% stainless steel with dustproof protection for the motor wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a belt-type oil skimmer work?
A continuous belt passes through the coolant surface, picking up floating oil by adhesion. The belt then passes through a wiper that strips the oil into a collection container. The clean belt returns to the tank to collect more oil. The process runs continuously and unattended.
What oil removal capacity can I expect?
Capacity depends on belt width and oil layer thickness. A standard FE-OL 200mm unit removes approximately 2–5 litres of oil per hour. Larger 1400mm models can handle 20+ litres per hour. The rate is highest when there is a thick oil layer and decreases as the coolant gets cleaner.
Do FE-OL skimmers work with all coolant types?
Yes. FE-OL skimmers work with water-soluble coolants, synthetic coolants, semi-synthetic fluids and wash water. The belt material is resistant to common metalworking fluids. For aggressive chemicals, special belt materials are available.
