Oil Skimmer
Widely used in metal finishing, machine shops, cooling towers, food processing, oil refineries, steel plants, and any facility generating oily wastewater requiring surface oil recovery.
Unique Features
Continuously removes floating oil, grease, and hydrocarbons from water surfaces
Belt, tube, or disc media options to suit various oil viscosities
Operates in tanks, sumps, pits, and open water bodies
Low power consumption with minimal moving parts
Suitable for light, medium, and heavy oil removal
Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in industrial environments
Frequently asked questions
Oil skimmers can remove a wide range of floating oils including light machine oils, hydraulic fluids, cutting oils, animal fats, and heavy crude oils. The media type (belt/tube/disc) is selected based on oil viscosity and application.
A continuously moving oleophilic (oil-attracting) belt dips into the water surface, picks up floating oil, and carries it up over wiper blades that scrape the oil into a collection trough, from where it is discharged for disposal or recovery.
Yes. Tube-type and belt-type skimmers are flexible and can be deployed in narrow slits, deep sumps, or tanks with limited access. The equipment can be customized with extended reaches to suit tank geometry.
Under steady conditions with free-floating oil, removal efficiencies of 85–95% are achievable. However, emulsified oil requires additional treatment such as DAF or chemical coagulation for effective removal.
