Patent pending in Canada, European Union, and Japan NexJen Technologies was founded in 2005 by a chemical engineer with 18 years experience in the pretreatment/metalworking industries and a senior executive in the consumer goods industry. Initiated R&D and field testing in 2003 Launched product at Westec show in 2006 Upgraded manufacturing process in late 2008 via purchase and utilization of injection mold
Current solutions for tramp oil removal belt, disk, and rope skimmers coalescer centrifuge Advantages: Small and compact Inexpensive initial cost - $200-$700 Disadvantages: Doesn t collect relatively 'dry' oil (~50% water) Very slow oil skim rate Only collects oil that sticks to the belt, disk, and rope Efficiency affected by debris Ineffective at 'pulling' oil into collector Can be difficult to install Advantages Capable of processing 1-3 gallons per minute Effective at removing t ramp oil from machine tool Portability Disadvantages Large and bulky utilizes large amount of floor space Adds additional coolant gallons to shop Expensive - $1000 - $5000 Possible breeding ground for bacteria if not properly cleaned on a regular basis Portability Advantages Most effective means in industry to remove contamination Process large amounts of fluid Remove emulsified tramp oil Disadvantages Extremely expensive - $20,000 to $80,000 Very large takes up important floor space Maintenance and labor intensive
Introducing the most effective solution in the industry for tramp oil removal. The C-Thru Separator The C-Thru Separator is a unique, patented unit designed to remove solid and liquid contamination from coolants and cleaners throughout the metalworking and pretreatment industries.

C-Thru Separator Standard Package Unit is designed to remove tramp oil and particulate from metalworking fluids Patented Transparent Injection molded seam free design Compact 10 times more efficient then belt, disk, or rope skimmer Mounts to machine tool via magnets No consumables Holds less than 3 gallons
C-Thru Separator Standard Package with Air Pump Unit is designed to remove tramp oil and particulate from metalworking fluids Patented Transparent Injection molded seam free design Compact 10 times more efficient then belt, disk, or rope skimmer Mounts to machine tool via magnets Consumables Holds less than 3 gallons Utilizes air pump versus electric submersible pump
Why is the C-Thru Separator the most effective solution on the market? Transparent design View process from any angle allowing for exact depth of tramp oil in unit Ensures only tramp oil is removed and not good coolant/cleaner View inner workings of unit Allows operators/supervisors to monitor contaminant levels at a glance Compact design Equal to an average size briefcase Holds less than 3.0 gallons of fluid Easy to clean Does not add many additional sump gallons to shop Easy Installation Frees up valuable floor space Mounts at chest/eye level on machine tool via magnetic mount for ergonomic optimization Remove tramp oil and perform routine maintenance without bending over Mounts on back or side of machine for easy access Allows floor cleaning units to clean around machines without obstruction
Value Why would a customer buy C-Thru versus belt/disc skimmer? Cost is similar to most belt/disc skimmers depending on margin levels required by distributor, etc. No consumables Adds very little additional sump gallons to facility Uniqueness Only transparent unit in industry which allows for facility to monitor tramp oil levels and cleanliness of coolant. Hangs on machine tool via magnetic mount Easy to install with no machine tool modification Performance Ten times more efficient than belt/disc/tube skimmers this is based on oil removal rate in a given time frame (view video on our website comparing belt skimmer and C-Thru Separator www.nexjentech.com) Eliminates messy floors caused belt/disc/tube skimmers Eliminates good coolant loss experienced with belt/disc/tube skimmers Removes particulate as well as tramp oil High process flowrate despite smallest footprint in the industry

Applications for C-Thru Separator Coolants and Cutting Fluids Machine coolants become contaminated with tramp oils leading to reduced coolant life, decreased tooling performance, and more hazardous waste generation. Oil separators that remove the tramp oils solve these problems and typically pay for themselves within a few months. Parts Washers Floating oils re-contaminate parts as they are removed from a wash tank and reduce the life of the cleaner bath. Oil separators can remove this oil and provide oil-free parts and extended cleaner life. Wastewater Sumps Most manufacturing or processing facilities have circulating water systems. This water collects in a central tank or sump. Removing floating hydrocarbon contamination with little water content can reduce the cost of disposal and lower the contingent liabilities of wastewater discharge. Heat Treating Quench oils that must be removed from heat treated parts can be captured by oil separators for re-use or disposal. The results are lower quench oil costs, prolonged wash water life and lower disposal costs. Food Processing Facilities Removal of vegetable oils, greases and animal fats from a plant's wastewater stream by oil separators reduces the cost of processing and disposal. Parking Lots, Garages and Service Facilities Waste oil from leaks, spills and other sources must be retrieved from sumps before water can be discharged to storm or sanitary sewers.
