OIL AND SWARF
Stop Wasting Coolant.
Reclaim 95% of fluids, filter chips instantly, and get back to work in under 10 minutes. No scooping. No mess. No downtime.
This is Depureco’s main category page for CNC sump vacuums used to recover coolant, separate chips and swarf, remove sludge, and clean machine tanks in machining environments. The page groups sump vacuums by tank size and system capacity so buyers can compare compact, mid-size, and large-capacity options more quickly. Common search terms include CNC sump vacuums, sump vacuums for coolant and metal chips, coolant recovery vacuum, oil and swarf sump vacuum, and industrial sump cleaner for machine shops.
Tank size is one of the fastest ways to narrow down sump vacuum selection. Smaller units fit prototype labs, job shops, and single-machine maintenance. Mid-size units suit standard VMCs, lathes, and routine coolant recovery. Larger systems are built for high-production facilities, greater coolant volumes, heavier sludge loads, and longer maintenance intervals. Search intent here includes sump vacuum by tank size, small CNC sump vacuum, large coolant recovery vacuum, and high-capacity oil and swarf vacuum.
Perfect for prototype labs, job-shops and single-spindle CNCs
The sweet spot for mid-size VMCs, horizontal lathes and dual-pallet machining cells.
High-capacity flow-inversion for large HMCs, gantry mills and central coolant pits.
A stainless-mesh chip basket teamed with a 150-micron PPL filter keeps metal shavings out of the fluid stream. Chips drop dry into the basket for premium scrap resale, while the filtered coolant drains into an epoxy-coated steel tank ready for immediate reuse or drum transfer.
Result: Clean coolant back in the machine, zero pump damage, zero filter consumables.
Every gallon of coolant you reclaim is a gallon you don’t buy—or pay to haul away. By removing solids, a Depureco sump vacuum cuts coolant disposal fees, eliminates tramp-oil fines from waste haulers and converts dry chips into high-value scrap metal. Shops typically save $9,500+ per CNC per year in fluid, labour and scrap uplift.
A heavy-duty submersible discharge pump lets you vacuum and refill at the same time: suction pulls chips and dirty coolant into the tank while the pump returns filtered fluid to the machine at up to 120 GPM (2 gal s⁻¹). Continuous operation means no waiting for the tank to fill, no secondary transfer step, and no downtime between shifts.
Tell us about your chips, coolant volume, and floor space—our engineers will size the right vacuum, include accessory recommendations, and send a detailed quote (with freight and lead-time) within one business day. No spam, no obligation—just the right solution you need to keep your spindles turning.
