Alfie the portable coolant cleaner

features         technical data

Clean coolants save more than you think

For the metalworking industry, coolants are a major expense. Some are obvious. Replacing them - a messy and time-consuming task. Disposing of them - a continually rising expense in the face of today's environmental regulations.
But dirty coolants also incur other less obvious but no less expensive costs. For example, tramp oil and solid particles in the coolant can cause increased tool wear, quality problems during later processing, and health problems for your personnel.
Earlier, centrifugal separation of coolants has been best suited for large coolant and cutting fluid systems, and inappropriate for small tanks.
But now there's a solution. A solution that will pay off for you in more ways than you might at first have considered. It's called Alfie, and it's here to make your life a lot easier.

Alfie is designed to clean small system coolants

Alfie is specifically designed to remove contaminants from coolants in smaller systems, using the time-tested technique of centrifugal separation.
With its compact design, Alfie is easy to move across a workshop floor. It can be used to service several tanks, or just one, up to a volume of 5 cubic meters (1,500 gallons). Since the separator is installed in a bypass flow, Alfie can treat the coolant when the machine tool is in use or idle.
Alfie separates tramp oil as well as metal fines and solid particles (down to 1 um) from the coolant. Result? Coolant lifetime is extended many times and only make-up additions to replace carry out and evaporation are required. Apart from the obvious economic benefits, this effective cleaning process provides greater availability, reduced wear and tear on tools, and an overall improvement in product quality.
Return on investment is under a two years.
Priced under $15,000. Prices subject to change

Innovative features

Thanks to new materials and new design solutions, Alfie is truly compact. Total weight, including the stand, is only 55 kg (120 lbs).
Inside the separator, certain essential components traditionally manufactured in stainless steel have been replaced by a recently developed tough, durable plastic.
Alfie is extremely easy to use. Anyone can learn all that is needed to operate and maintain Alfie in less than an hour.

1. Solid particles accumulate inside the rotating bowl. When the bowl needs to be cleaned, it can be opened with a few simple operations. Cleaning takes about five minutes and can be performed as infrequently as once a week.
   
   
2. When the trump oil has reached a certain level in the collecting tank, a micro switch is activated, stopping the cleaning process and turning on an indicator light.
   
   
3. Control panel have only two buttons.
   
   
4. The surface of the rotating bowl is coated with a material that is 12 times harder than steel.
   
   
5. Large wheels make it easy to move Alfie even when the floor is not entirely smooth.
   
   
6. Suction hose with surface suction device.
   
   
7. Hose for return of clean coolant.
