I just became a dealer for the Easy Clean Oil Recovery System. It is basically a portable cleaning system that spins sludge out of oil and deposits it in one gallon canisters. Complete system is $1250 plus shipping. Effective and practical for commercial or serious cutters and can be used on multiple saws. Made in USA too. Just added it to my website.

Didn't the new HP company have a unit like this under development too?

Yes. HP came out with one that bolts on the saw and has a much smaller canister. I don't know if they have since come out with a portable version or not. The BD guy bought one of the HP units when they first came out and installed it on one of his slab saws. He said the canister filled up too quickly and overall quality was poor. Of course as a manufacturer of made in USA products they will likely be biased against any Chinese competition. Both systems are basically centrifuges that spin the oil to separated solids.

For the fact that we don't need super clean oil buy cheese cloth, pour oil thru it. Then take the sludge and tie it into a bag. Put bag in a washing machine on spin. Be sure to cut drain hose from washer tube to eliminate pump and put hose in a bucket oh yea use cheese cloth in a wooden frame with hardware cloth to support it. Place frame over washer hole. I have a 1991 GMC pickup that I run off usrd vegetable oil from restaurants instead of diesel. Yes I ride for free and smell like fried chicken! LOL

Yep HP has a stand alone unit they "invented" in 2014 that is virtually identical to the one Phil started selling in 2013.
Freaking Chinese counterfeits and the unethical folks who market them.
I would love to convince the rock club to get on of your cleaners for their rock shop.

My apology John I didn't mean to downgrade your product or imply it is unnecessary. I just was trying to tell folks how I used to clean veggy oil but stopped because of low productivity and went to another method. Quite to the contrary I am a huge believer in centrifuges to clean oil. Specially if they run all the time the machinery is running. I have one on my diesel truck that continuously cleans the motor oil, diesels produce a lot of soot in the oil and by using the centrifuge I can go 10000 miles with synthetic oil between changes. If I were a big time sawer I would definitely get one. 1200 dollars isn't much compared to the cost of a new large saw or even a big blade. We all run our saws with a lot of sludge in the bottom. The reason we use oil isn't just lubrication it's also cooling. Two gallons of sludge and a half gallon of oil don't have very much cooling capacity.
Once again my apologies John and thank you Scott for pointing this possibility out.

No problem Bill. I would not buy one for me either. My 18" slab saw has not cut a rock in three years and the oil is filtered and in buckets from when I removed it from the HP24 I sold 2 years ago. For a serious cutter that is running multiple slab saws it makes sense. Most hobby cutters get by just fine with the paper bag/bucket filter systems. For the record, HP Lapidary came out with their system first. The BD guy had me pick up the HP literature the first year they had it at Quartzsite. Then he bought one for one of his saws. He didn't like many things about it and got Phil to design a larger, portable, and much better made system. BD guy wants to see a 5 gallon system but I doubt it will ever happen. I think both systems would work best if they ran whenever saw was cutting to keep clean oil clean rather than stirring up sludge and expecting the system to spin out everything.
