Waste Oil Pump And Used Oil Pump

 

Let’s understand what is waste oil, a petroleum or synthetic based oil that is no more useful and requires disposal. As the oil is no more useful and contaminated, thus the disposal should be done carefully. 

While used oil is also a petroleum based or synthetic oil which has been used but contaminated due infusion of substance, while being used leading to change in physical or chemical properties. Example - hydraulic oil, transmission oil, gearbox oil, motor oil, brake fluids etc. 

Waste oil pump selection:

While selecting a heavy duty waste oil transfer pump there are certain things one needs to comprehend. 

  • High volume pumps: used for transfer of thin or warm oils

  • High torque pumps: used for transfer of thick or cool oils

  • Diaphragm pumps: built for transfer of mineral oil, biodiesel oils or vegetable oils. These are mainly used for centrifuge systems. 

Things like type of oil, viscosity and environmental conditions play a huge role in selection of the pump. Such as, a high viscosity oil requires higher torque while less viscous oils move more freely, thus power required by the pump is lower. Questions to think of when selecting the waste oil transfer pump should be:

Inclusion of filtration system: Waste oil handling requires the pump to filter out the objects contaminating the oil to reduce the chances of clogging the pump.

Environmental factors affecting the transfer: The temperature it will be exposed to and the geographical location also plays a big factor in selection of electric waste oil pump.

Parts availability: when selecting the best pump, it is important to consider that the spare parts are easily available incase of some wear and tear. 

Used oil pump system:

One of the industries where used oil extractor pumps are most needed is automotive, specifically in servicing. When using an oil extractor versus a manual oil change in a vehicle, the task becomes not only easier and efficient, but also less messier. The used oil transfer pump for vehicles can be classified as per the power used for the pumping mechanism. 

  • Manual oil extractor: As the name suggests this pump is operated manually and requires no power to operate. This makes it easily portable and low cost.

  • Electric oil extractor: This pump is usually powered by vehicle battery or an external battery. It is a small sized pump thus needs an additional oil container attached with a pump to store the used oil. Electric extractors are lightweight and easy to use.

  • Pneumatic oil extractors: An air operated mechanism that uses an air compressor unit. Most pneumatic extractors come with a manual mechanism as well making it very useful.
