PORTABLE OIL SKIMMER, TOTE-IT

Hi-Tech Engineers offers Portable Oil Skimmer, Tote-It. It is an effective means of removing oil from water. It makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water for seperation. The single assembly unit can be used in any application where power is available. It utilises a continuous belt and wiper to remove up to 12 gallons of oil per hour from the fluid surface. The belt operates on a motor and pulley system attached to a stabilizer bar that is immersed in the contaminated liquid. After travelling over the head pulley, the belt passes through tandem wiper blades where oil is scraped off both sides of the belt, and discharged through a 1-1/ 4 in. ID hose. The belt attracts oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from the surface of the fluid. It well suited for parts washing and machining centre applications. By removing surface oil from a wash tank, the parts will not be recontaminated as they are withdrawn. Removing tramp oil from a coolant tank prevents excessive smoke and fumes due to oil burning during cutting operations. It also reduces bacteria growth in the tank, along with the resulting odour.
