On-Line Die Lube Reclaiming System

Tests have shown that only half of the spray die lube ever reaches the die itself. This wasted die lube, instead of doing its intended job, settles onto the base of the die-casting machine where it mixes with the accumulated grease, spit metal, flash, and other contaminants.

Before the die lube drains into the holding tank, it passes through a metal catch pan that keeps larger spit metal from entering the tank. A fine-mesh filter screen at the inlet to the diaphragm pump prevents sludge, and other debris that has settled in the bottom of the holding tank, from entering the pump. The circulating die lube flows through two spin-on-type filters that remove suspended particles from the liquid. This filtering action is continuous, even while the sprayers are turned off.

“The Mini-Max Reclaimer is the most useful piece of equipment to come along in years.”

If you want to increase die lube life, save up to 40% of your die lube costs, reduce disposal costs, reduce frustrating down time due to clogged spray heads, and premature equipment wear, it makes sense to purchase the Advance Mini-Max Reclaiming System.

The Advance Products Mini-Max Reclaiming System is an efficient and unique recycling unit that collects virtually all of the sprayed die lube, filters out the impuities, and pumps it back into the lube system for use. It consists of a 15-gallon stainless steel tank that acts as a reservoir to hold the collected die lube, a specially designed diaphragm pump that pressurizes and circulates the die lube, and a three-stage filtration system that continually cleans the circulating liquid. The system operates from a standard 110-VAC, 60-Hz line and is space efficient, measuring only 30” L X 16” W x 21” H. The diaphragm pump is driven by a shop air compressor.
