Oil Skimmer Machine

An oil skimmer is a machine that removes floating oil and grease from liquid. The floating oil adheres to skimming media, such as a belt, tube, rope, mop, or disk. The media then runs back to the machine to be wiped cleanWhen the pool pump is running, the skimmer works by pulling water and floating debris from the pool surface through a pivoting flap called a weir. After the debris passes through the weir, it gets collected by the skimmer basketOil skimmers were used to assist in the remediation of the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989, and more recently BP used a giant skimmer to clean up a substantial oil spill. For oil skimming and coolant filtration, the Interfil 2000 is easy to use and simple to service.If oil is left to build up, it can potentially be a fire hazard. An oil skimmer helps reduce that threat by removing the oil. Skimming can prevent clogs in lines and sprays by removing tramp oil from coolant. Tramp oil removal maximizes the effect and life of the coolant and also increases the life of the tool.There are two main types of oil skimmer: oleophilic and non-oleophilic. Oleophilic skimmers include disc, belt, tube, brush, mop, brush, grooved disc, smooth drum, and grooved drum. Non-oleophilic skimmers include weir (manual or self-adjusting).
