Eriez offers the widest selection of sump cleaners in the industry. Solutions range from inexpensive drum top cleaners to the industry’s widely recognized sump cleaner. Manufactured since 1974, these heavy-duty industrial wet/dry vacuum filtration units clean virtually any machine tool sump, tank, or pit quickly and thoroughly.

The sump cleaner removes the coolant, sludge and chips from the sump, filters the sludge and chips from the coolant and returns the filtered coolant to the sump, or transports the coolant to waste treatment for disposal or to an Eriez Recycling System.
