An overview of the re-designed intake for the Abanaki Oil Boss coolant skimmer/coalescer that we use to remove tramp oil from the surface of our Haas UMC500's coolant tank.
In this video I talk through the following:
1) The issues with the existing Abanaki Oil Boss skimmer/coalescer intake
2) How my re-design aims to solve these issues
3) How the skimmer actually works in practise to remove tramp oil form the coolant tank on our specific machine
4) The CAD file for those that would like to 3D print the skimmer for their own use
5) Alternative skimmers/coalescers to the Abanaki Oil Boss
