Oil Skimmers
Oil skimmers are designed to recover used oil from wastewater or coolants and are ideal for use in sumps, food processors, metal mills and HVAC systems. Raptor Supplies offers top-of-the-line oil skimmers from brands like Abanaki and Chipblaster. These oil skimmers can be used as a pre-treatment unit before liquid filtration or in conjunction with a coalescing system. Selected models are capable of reducing oil content to as low as 5 parts per million in water. To withstand turbulent fluid conditions, these oil skimmers feature a rugged stainless-steel / polymer / steel / carbon-steel construction that can withstand temperatures up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit. These oil skimmers come equipped with a totally enclosed fan-cooled 60 hertz motor that delivers a maximum speed of 57 rpm, making them suitable for both light- and medium-duty skimming operations. Belt oil skimmers utilise a continuous belt-drive and a wiper to remove up to 20 gallons of oil per hour and can be used on fluid surfaces that are 4 - 54 inches deep. Choose from a wide range of these oil skimmers, available in different size and mounting variants, on Raptor Supplies.
Working Mechanism
- If the belt type oil skimmers come unassembled, attach the stabiliser bar & spring into the stabiliser tube of the motor assembly. Install the belt over top & tail pulley and mount the skimmer.
- The tube-type skimmers have a tube drive assembly top to fit lubricated tubing around a sprocket and match with the motor shaft. They are mounted using a mounting bracket with the tube resting on the liquid to be skimmed.
- The disc type oil skimmers come preassembled and require only mounting on a flat surface. The bottom of the attached disc should be in the water & oil mixture to be skimmed.
- After unpacking the skimmer, the wiper blade discharge trough fits into the assemblies for discharging the oil collected.
- The units are then powered through a grounded outlet which starts up the motor to rotate the belt / disc / tube. The belt, tube or disc attract the oil from the liquid mixture.
- A wiper removes oil from the belt / disc / tube and discharges it through a hose or trough for collecting skimmed oil.
- Users can check oil skimmer accessories page on our website for replacement parts like oil skimmer belts.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are some points users need to remember while using oil skimmers?
- Remove the trash, debris and other contaminants before operating the oil skimmers.
- The oil skimmers will remove oil as a mixture with water and not as pure concentrated oil.
- Their removal rate depends on the nature of oil and skimming material used.
- The efficiency of these skimmers may decrease due to the presence of surfactants or turbulent flow of liquid.
What are the main types of oil skimmers?
- Oleophilic Oil Skimmers: They use drums, discs, belts or ropes having oleophilic (oil-loving) properties to skim out oil from the surface. Since these oil skimmers collect only oil, water mixing during oil recovery is limited.
- Non-Oleophilic Oil Skimmers: They feature metal skimming elements to collect oil in those applications where using an oleophilic material is inappropriate.
- Weir type Oil Skimmers: These floating oil skimmers skim the floating oil on the top surface of the water when it flows over a weir.
What accessories are compatible with oil skimmers?
- Controls: Users may require a control panel & other electronic tools like timer, heater and float switch & warning light combination to monitor skimmed oil level, prevent overflow and control flow rate.
- Decanters / Concentrators: They remove water from the skimmed oil mixture produced after oil skimmer operation.
