Delfin TC100 MPI Industrial Vacuum for Oil and Swarf

The Delfin TC100 MPI industrial vacuum cleaner is a specialist industrial oil and swarf vacuum system engineered for the efficient cleaning and maintenance of CNC machine tools and metalworking equipment. Designed specifically for the mechanical and manufacturing sectors, this heavy duty industrial wet and dry vacuum cleaner removes coolant liquids, emulsions, cutting oils, and metal chips (swarf) in a single operation, dramatically reducing machine downtime and improving workshop productivity.

Unlike a standard shop vacuum, the TC100 MPI is purpose-built for CNC cleaning, coolant recovery, and metal chip separation, making it ideal for:

• CNC machining centres
• Turning and milling workshops
• Automotive manufacturing plants
• Aerospace component production
• General engineering facilities
• Metal fabrication workshops

By recovering and filtering coolant for reuse, this industrial coolant recovery vacuum reduces fluid replacement costs and minimises hazardous waste disposal, helping facilities improve both operational efficiency and environmental compliance.

What the TC100 MPI Does — In Practical Terms

In everyday workshop use, the TC100 MPI allows operators to:

1. Vacuum coolant and oil directly from CNC machines.
2. Separate metal chips and swarf from the liquid automatically.
3. Filter the recovered coolant.
4. Pump the cleaned fluid back into the machine, without stopping operation.

This means vacuuming, filtering, and discharging happen simultaneously, eliminating the need for manual draining or secondary filtration processes. The result is faster machine cleaning, reduced labour time, and immediate coolant reuse.

Key Technical Specifications — Explained Clearly

The TC100 MPI is powered by three independent single-phase motors. In simple terms, this means it delivers exceptionally strong and consistent suction power, suitable for collecting heavy metal chips and viscous oils without performance drop-off.

It features:

• 60-litre liquid capacity – Large enough to handle substantial coolant recovery jobs before emptying is required.
• 40-litre sieve grid basket – A robust internal container that captures metal swarf while allowing liquid to pass through for filtration.
• 300-micron PPL filter – This industrial-grade filter separates fine metal particles from liquids, ensuring recovered coolant is clean enough for reuse in machining processes.
• Tangential suction inlet with separation cyclone – The airflow design creates a cyclonic effect that improves solid-liquid separation efficiency before filtration even begins.
• Automatic float shut-off device – When the container reaches maximum capacity, suction automatically stops to prevent overfilling and protect internal components.
• Integrated submerged discharge pump – Allows continuous pumping of filtered liquid while vacuuming is still in progress — a rare capability in industrial vacuum systems.

The unit is available in stainless steel construction, making it corrosion-resistant and highly durable in harsh industrial environments exposed to oils and emulsions.

The TC100 MPI is designed for intermittent duty applications, making it ideal for scheduled CNC cleaning cycles and preventative maintenance routines.

Why Choose the Delfin TC100 MPI Over Alternatives?

Many industrial workshops attempt to use standard wet vacuums or basic oil vac systems for CNC maintenance. However, these machines typically:

• Do not properly separate swarf from coolant
• Require manual emptying before discharge
• Cannot pump and vacuum simultaneously
• Lack industrial-grade durability

The TC100 MPI stands apart because it combines the power of an industrial vacuum pump, the functionality of a coolant filtration system, and the practicality of a portable industrial vacuum cleaner in one integrated unit.

Compared to larger centralised industrial vacuum systems, this model offers:

• Lower upfront investment
• Greater mobility between machines
• Reduced installation complexity
• Immediate ROI through coolant reuse

For workshops seeking the best industrial vacuum cleaner for metal chips and coolant recovery, this model offers a balanced combination of power, filtration precision, operational safety, and long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What makes the TC100 MPI different from a standard shop vacuum?

A standard shop vac isn’t designed for CNC coolant and swarf recovery. The TC100 MPI is a purpose-built industrial wet vacuum cleaner with integrated filtration and a discharge pump, allowing liquids to be emptied without stopping the cleaning process, reducing downtime during machine maintenance.

Can the recovered coolant be reused?

Yes. The built-in 300-micron filtration system separates metal particles from the liquid, allowing filtered coolant or oil to be safely reused in machining processes, reducing fluid replacement costs.

Is the machine suitable for heavy metal chips?

Yes. The three-motor system provides strong suction capable of collecting heavy swarf and dense metal debris without clogging or loss of performance.

Does the vacuum need to stop before emptying liquids?

No. Thanks to the integrated submerged pump, the TC100 MPI can discharge filtered liquid while continuing to vacuum, significantly reducing downtime.

What industries typically use this machine?

It is widely used in CNC machining workshops, automotive production plants, aerospace manufacturing, metal fabrication facilities, and general engineering workshops.

Is stainless steel construction important?

In environments exposed to oil and emulsions, stainless steel prevents corrosion and extends the operational lifespan of the machine.
