The document describes a waste oil drainer for pits, manufactured by Alentec & Orion AB in Sweden, with part number 39068. This device, also referred to as a "Spilloljeuppsamlare för grop" in Swedish, is designed for the gravity draining of engine, gearbox, and differential oil from vehicles positioned over a pit.
The primary function of the waste oil drainer is to collect waste oil from vehicles. It is designed to be placed within a pit, allowing oil to drain directly into the unit. A sludge filter on the top of the unit serves a dual purpose: it filters out larger debris from the waste oil and can also be used to support oil filters for draining, ensuring that any residual oil from the filters is also collected.
When the unit is full, indicated by the oil level reaching the underside of the filter mesh, it can be emptied. The emptying process is facilitated by an outlet port located at the bottom of the tank. This port is equipped with a 3/4" BSP quick release coupling, which allows for easy hose connection to a suitable waste oil pump. This pump, which can be mounted either within the pit or in close proximity to it, then transfers the collected oil to a designated bulk storage vessel. The manual also mentions that pit waste oil units are available with an air-operated pump mounted to the side of the unit, specifically for use in pits where easy access to pumping facilities might be limited.
The waste oil drainer is designed for ease of assembly and safe operation.
Assembly: The unit is shipped with the castor arms removed to prevent damage during transit and to minimize package size. These arms must be fitted before the unit can be used. All castor arms are identical, simplifying the assembly process. They are mounted into the open ends of the side tubes, ensuring that the castor wheels face downwards. The fixing screws, which are M8, are located in the side tubes and require a 13mm A/F spanner for tightening. The position of the castor arms needs to be adjusted and tightened according to the width of the pit walls. For optimal safety during operation, it is recommended to extend the castor arms equally at each end of the tank. The manual provides an illustration showing how to slide the castor arms into the side tubes and fully tighten the two clamping screws at each end of the side tubes to lock the castor arms in the operating position.
Safety Precautions (Operation):
Waste Oil Storage Safety Precautions: The manual emphasizes the importance of always emptying the waste oil drainer. This is to prevent flammable fluids from being stored in spaces that are not fire-rated, highlighting a critical safety aspect related to fire prevention.
Cleaning: The filter tray, located at the top of the unit, can be easily removed for cleaning. This is achieved by removing the four self-tapping screws that secure it to the top of the unit. Replacement filter trays are available for purchase to replace any damaged units, ensuring the continued functionality of the filtration system.
The design of the unit, with its removable filter tray and accessible outlet port, facilitates routine cleaning and maintenance, contributing to its longevity and efficient operation.
