Reversible LIQUI-VAC™
For Sump Cleaning
Removing spent coolants, waste fluids, or oils from machine sumps, reservoirs, or storage tanks is usually just plain bothersome. Inexpensive vacuums will not do a satisfactory job, are quite loud, and are not built for the industrial environment. Now, the Reversible LIQUI-VAC™ provides the solution to your sump cleaning problems. It is small enough to fit in your hand, yet it sucks up tramp oils, used oils, and waste coolants fast and simple. This unit will also discharge fluids out of the drum into a separate container if desired with just the turn of a knob.
Features
operates on shop air
attaches to small bung on a standard drum
has one moving part
requires no maintenance
has whisper quiet exhaust
The Reversible LIQUI-VAC™ comes in a kit that includes everything you need to start using it the very first day. The standard kit includes:
venturi unit
1" x 10' (38mm. X 3 mL) suction hose
drum standpipe adapter
quick disconnect fittings
air control valve
safety shut-off valve
aluminum wand
Mini Dos
Proportional Injector Fluid Mixer
Compact, low- to mid-flow, fluid-driven proportional injector. Segregates harsh chemicals from critical internal components.
MISCO Palm Abbe™ Digital Refractometer
Laboratory Precision in the Palm of Your Hand!
The new Palm Abbe is a fourth-generation digital handheld refractometer that puts laboratory precision in the palm of your hand. Not just laboratory precision, but laboratory precision for the price of a traditional analog refractometer. It is exactly the kind of bold, cutting-edge technology you would expect from MISCO, the company that pioneered the digital handheld refractometer.
The Palm Abbe refractometer is fast, convenient, and easy to use. Simply place a drop or two of fluid in the titanium well and press a button. The custom-designed microprocessor delivers a nearly instantaneous readout in degrees Brix. Nonlinear temperature compensation is automatic and insures that fluids read between 0°C and 50°C (32°F to 122°F) are measured accurately.
The large LCD display is easily read, even in dim light, and removes the subjectivity associated with interpreting where a boundary line crosses tiny scale divisions. And, it is so easy to use! The user interface consists of two buttons, one to take readings and the other to step through various menu options.
Calibration is automatic and does not require the use of special calibration solutions, or tools. The Palm Abbe refractometer automatically calibrates itself to water and is ready to use in seconds. No more screws to turn and nothing to adjust.

SCROUNGER® Jr Oil Skimmer
Effectively Remove Oil from Coolants and Washing Solutions
Tramp oil is a major source of problems associated with water miscible cutting and grinding fluids.
Tramp oil contributes to the growth and formation of:
coolant-destroying bacteria
undesirable residues on machine tools and workpieces
smoke and oil mist in shop atmospheres
These problems result in:
shortened coolant life
poor material removal rates
poor surface finish and size control
decreased tool and wheel life
Numerous devices ("floating ropes," wheels, and belts) have been developed over the years to remove "free floating" tramp oil from the surface of coolant. While they have all worked to one degree or another, they generally have been either "troublesome," high maintenance, relatively ineffective, or able to operate only on limited liquid level fluctuations.
As a "belt-type" skimmer, these units are effective in removing floating oil from widely fluctuating liquid levels of coolants or parts washing solutions. The SCROUNGER features a revolutionary new oleophilic belt and a totally new concept of stripping the separated oil from the belt. The SCROUNGER Jr. uses the same "oil loving" belt, but uses a more compact scraper blade to strip the separated oil from the belt.
Features
115 volt, single phase, 50/60 Hz
heavy-duty, impedence-protected, fan-cooled drive motor with hardened shaft and needle bearings (220 volt,
single phase, 50 Hz also available)
open, accessible oil-collecting tray with a convenient drain connector
"oil loving" oleophilic belt (purchased separately)
heavy-duty steel construction, with industrial-grade enamel paint
Benefits
fast, simple belt changing
low maintenance
lower hang roller that will not fall off in the machine sump even in turbulent conditions
Options
dewatering tray
portable kit
special length belts available on special order
special belt materials available for high temperature or pH applications on special order
