A sump sucker is a type of industrial equipment used for the extraction of fluids, typically from sumps, tanks, or reservoirs. It is commonly used in applications such as oil and fuel removal, industrial cleaning, and maintenance tasks.
In the context of used oil recycling, a sump sucker can be used to extract used oil from engine sumps, gearboxes, or other machinery. This extracted oil can then be processed and purified through various recycling methods to be reused as a lubricant or fuel.
Sump suckers typically consist of a vacuum pump or suction device, a collection tank, and a hose or piping system for the transfer of fluids. They are often portable and can be easily transported to different locations for use in a variety of applications.
Using a sump sucker for used oil recycling can provide several benefits, such as reducing the amount of waste oil sent to landfills, conserving resources by reusing the oil, and reducing the environmental impact associated with the production and disposal of new lubricants and fuels.
