"Sump-Aid"

Metal Working Machine Sump Cleaner

Davies "Sump-Aid" is strong medicine for heavily soiled, odorous machine sumps. Special cleaners and pentrants quickly attack and remove tramp oil, swarf, and other typical machine sump soils. A unique dispersant package is incorporated to aid in microbial displacement, thus eliminating order at the source. Studies have shown that proper sump cleaning procedures with "Sump-Aid" can extend fluid life up to three times. The cost of machine sump cleaning with "Sump-Aid" actually save the machine operator money in lower coolant usage.
