Integrated Coolant Purification for Modern Manufacturing #
Efficient coolant management is essential for maintaining productivity and sustainability in industrial environments. The BEST-1 Composite Oil-Water Separator offers a robust, all-in-one solution for coolant purification, combining oil skimming, advanced filtration, ozone-based sterilization, and automated pH monitoring.
Optimizing Coolant Quality and Longevity #
The BEST-1 system is engineered to address the challenges of coolant contamination, including tramp oil, bacteria, and pH instability. By integrating multiple purification processes, it helps prevent fluid rancidity, stabilizes pH, and extends the service life of coolants. This results in reduced maintenance, lower fluid replacement costs, and improved machining performance.
Key Features and Advantages #
- Multifunctional Purification: Combines oil skimming, particulate filtration (down to 0.4mm), ozone sterilization, and pH monitoring in a single unit.
- Ozone Purification: The built-in ozone module effectively eliminates bacteria, molds, and yeasts, addressing the root causes of coolant rancidity and unpleasant odors.
- Automated Control: A user-friendly control panel coordinates suction, separation, skimming, and ozone generation, ensuring consistent operation.
- No Consumables & Low Maintenance: The system is designed for minimal upkeep, with modular components and no need for consumable filters.
- Sustainability: By extending coolant life and reducing waste, the BEST-1 supports ESG goals and circular economy principles.
- CE-Certified: Fully compliant for global industrial applications.
How the BEST-1 System Works #
- Oil Collection: The system draws in coolant and tramp oil from the CNC machine tank.
- Filtration: Impurities and contaminants are filtered from the coolant.
- Oil-Water Separation: Slideway and foreign oils are separated quickly and thoroughly, minimizing water content in the removed oil.
- Ozone Sterilization: Ozone is introduced to eliminate bacteria and neutralize odors.
- Automated Control: The control panel manages the timing and sequence of each process.
- pH Monitoring: The system automatically detects and displays the coolant’s pH value.

Frequently Asked Questions #
How does a tramp oil skimmer improve coolant quality?
A tramp oil skimmer removes floating oils that enter the coolant from machines, lubricants, or hydraulic systems. This keeps the coolant cleaner and more stable, reducing bacterial growth, odors, and machining defects.
Is BEST-1 just an industrial oil skimmer?
While it functions as a high-efficiency oil skimmer, BEST-1 also integrates coolant purification, ozone sterilization, and pH monitoring—features not found in standard skimmers.
What sets BEST-1 apart in CNC coolant management?
Unlike basic skimmers that only remove surface oil, BEST-1 offers a comprehensive solution by also sterilizing and filtering fine contaminants, making it a complete coolant recovery system.
Is BEST-1 suitable for centralized coolant systems?
Yes, it is designed for both standalone machines and centralized systems, making it versatile for various industrial applications.
Can BEST-1 be used in CNC grinding or EDM processes?
Absolutely. It is suitable for grinding, EDM, CNC, milling, and other precision applications where coolant cleanliness is critical.
How often should the system be maintained?
Inspect the filter and sludge collection weekly, and perform a full cleaning monthly for optimal performance.
Does the ozone purifier require special handling?
No special handling is needed. The ozone module is maintenance-free under normal conditions; regular inspection during scheduled maintenance is sufficient.
Can BEST-1 help reduce coolant replacement costs?
Yes. By extending coolant life 2–3 times and reducing fluid degradation, it significantly lowers both purchase and disposal costs.
Sustainable Coolant Management for Every Need #
BEST-1 is designed to support sustainable manufacturing by minimizing fluid waste and maximizing operational efficiency. For operations with limited space or lower volume requirements, the Mini Oil Skimmer (Best-Mini) is also available. For high-demand environments, BEST-1 remains the preferred choice.
