BOXER 100 in AISI 316L: the wastewater pump for water contaminated with waste oil
DISCOVERCompany profile
The client company operates in the industrial engineering sector and specialises in the production of metal components using turning, milling, drilling and CNC machining processes. The plant is equipped with numerous machine tools that use coolant fluids and generate waste water consisting mainly of water, machining oils, spent emulsions and metal residues. To maintain high operational and environmental standards, the company has implemented a system dedicated to the collection and transfer of these fluids to the treatment units.

Application of the BOXER 100: industrial wastewater pump
The BOXER 100 is used as an industrial wastewater pump for the extraction and transfer of water contaminated with waste oil from collection tanks, industrial sumps and machine tool drainage systems. The fluid handled may contain oily emulsions, coolant residues, metal particles and suspended solids generated during machining operations. In this specific application, the double-diaphragm pump technology for contaminated water offers a significant advantage over other pumping solutions. It allows for the handling of dirty and non-homogeneous fluids without the need for mechanical seals or rotating parts directly exposed to the fluid, thereby reducing the risk of critical wear caused by impurities and sediments. The AISI 316L construction also ensures high mechanical strength, good corrosion resistance and suitability for use in industrial environments characterised by the presence of contaminated effluent, emulsions and process residues.
Operating conditions of the BOXER 100 double-diaphragm wastewater pump
As part of the plant’s operational cycle, the BOXER 100 functions as a double-diaphragm wastewater pump and is used daily to transfer wastewater from production areas to storage tanks for subsequent separation processes.
- Versatile suction: Suction takes place from collection points characterised by varying levels of contamination and the possible presence of metallic sediments.
- Self-priming capability: A characteristic of pneumatic double-diaphragm pumps, this ensures that the BOXER 100 operates reliably even under intermittent operating conditions or with intermittent suction.
- Dry running: the absence of mechanical seals and the ability to run dry temporarily make these industrial wastewater pumps particularly suitable for environments where the fluid level fluctuates frequently.
Why choose the BOXER 100 as a stainless steel pump for contaminated water
The company required a stainless steel pump for contaminated water capable of handling effluent laden with oils and metal residues, thereby reducing the risk of downtime caused by the presence of solid particles. It was also necessary to ensure operational continuity during production cycles, minimising maintenance interventions and preventing unexpected system shutdowns. The BOXER 100 in AISI 316L proved to be the ideal solution for transferring contaminated water thanks to its robust construction, the durability of its materials and its ease of integration into the existing system, making it perfect for transferring dirty and non-homogeneous fluids.
Results achieved with the BOXER 100 contaminated water pump
The installation of the BOXER 100 as a contaminated water pump has significantly improved the efficiency of industrial wastewater collection and transfer operations. The main advantages include:
- Safe handling: Reliable transfer of water contaminated with waste oil and processing residues.
- Service continuity: The double-diaphragm technology has reduced the pump’s sensitivity to suspended solids compared with traditional solutions.
- Greater stability: The company has benefited from a drastic reduction in the risk of unplanned downtime and greater overall reliability of the industrial fluid treatment plant.
