Features and Benefits of Belt and Tube Oil Skimmers

Belt and tube oil skimmers are essential in industrial wastewater treatment, offering significant benefits such as extending coolant life by removing tramp oils and preventing the plugging of spray heads and filters. The skimmed oil can be recycled as a lubricant or fuel, promoting both cost savings and environmental sustainability.

These skimmers are highly efficient and convenient, capable of lifting oil without the need for expensive pumps. They offer easy mounting, fast cleaning, and minimal maintenance, reducing downtime. With multiple mounting options, including custom stands, they provide straightforward installation, making them a versatile solution for various industrial settings.

 

Relevant Applications

Belt and tube oil skimmers are crucial in industrial water treatment, particularly in drainage pits, metalworking parts washers, wash bay sumps, workshop pits, coolant tanks, and oily water collection tanks. They effectively remove tramp oils, ensuring fluid quality and efficient operation. They are also used in underground tanks to separate oil from wastewater.

These skimmers are versatile tools in mobile equipment wash bays, monitoring wells, and aircraft service areas, preventing oil contamination. They are equally effective in outdoor settings like ponds, lakes, dams, and workshop pits, where they maintain water quality by removing oil and floating contaminants. Their broad applicability makes them essential across various industries.
