Oil Skimmers

“Siphon” Tube type oil skimmer efficiently removes all petroleum - based oil, fats, greases, and oily wastes, as well as animal and vegetable oils that float on the surface of liquid.

An endless special purpose polymer tube is driven by a synchronous motor / PMDC motor. As the tube passes through liquid, due to oleophilic nature of tube surface, oil adheres to the outside of a closed looped tube.

Polyurethane wiper scrapes oil from tube surface and oil is sent to the outlet tray. The collector tube is durable and easy to install. The tube continues to recover oil, floating up or down when water level in the tank or sump fluctuates.

Length of the tube is determined based on free board length of the tank and overall tank size to ensure that the tube is always floating on the surface of liquid.
