Oil Water Separators for Trade Waste & Wash Bays

Fox Environmental Systems manufactures the FX Series - stainless steel oil water separators built for tough jobs in trade waste, stormwater, and wash bay treatment. Each unit uses Vertical Tube Coalescing (VTC) technology to separate oil and solids before discharge. The result is reliable wastewater performance that meets EPA and council requirements, with low upkeep and long service life across workshops, marinas, and refuelling areas.

Why Choose a Fox Oil Water Separator

The Fox FX Series is engineered for long service life, low maintenance, and proven separation efficiency. Each system is manufactured in Australia from stainless steel and fitted with Vertical Tube Coalescing (VTC) filters for consistent performance in trade waste and stormwater applications.

Smaller units include 100-micron filter bags for fine solids capture, while larger systems feature expanded plate packs for higher flow capacity. All models are supplied complete with pump, float switches, low-voltage control panel, and 20L oil-collection drum – ready for compliant installation.

All Fox oil separator units are supplied with matching diaphragm pumps and smart control systems, ensuring precise flow handling in oily wastewater treatment and stormwater runoff environments.

Pump Control Box

Low-Voltage Pump/Control Box: Automates pump operation, featuring:

  • On/Off auto selector switch
  • An hour run meter ((X3 model only) to track runtime)
  • A high-level alarm (top, amber-colored) for alert visibility
  • Safety warnings and labels for electrical hazard control

Float Switches (Blue & Yellow): These detect water levels inside the separator tank and automatically trigger the pump to turn on/off, preventing overflows or dry running.

Fox FXP Series Diaphragm Pump

Diaphragm pump: Ideal for transferring oily wastewater and sludge to an oil separator.

  • Non-emulsifying operation: Prevents oil and water from blending, which helps maintain clear separation and simplifies treatment.
  • Self-priming: Works even in low water level conditions or dry starts.
  • Corrosion-resistant materials: Built to withstand harsh trade waste environments.
