Oil Skimmer Products

SkimTech's Skimall® family of tube type oil skimmers.

SkimTech's Oil Skimmers are designed to remove free-floating oils, fats, grease and other material from the surface of water in indoor and outdoor applications. Typical applications include oil/water equalization tanks, oil/water separators, settling and cooling ponds, scale pits and hundreds of other applications.

How The Oil Skimmer Works:

SkimTech's Skimall® Oil Skimmers use our specially formulated TigerTube® collector tube that is sized in length for the application and welded into a continuous loop. TigerTube® collector tube floats on the surface of water and is driven in a continuous loop by the skimmer. Oils, fats, and grease cling to the outside surface of the tube and are drawn into the skimmer. The material drawn into the skimmer is scraped off by abrasive resistant Dureon® scrapers and flows into a sludge pan with drain coupling. The clean tube is then driven back to the surface of the water by the skimmer to remove more material.

Oil Skimmer Removal Rates

Removal rates for any oil skimmer depend on the viscosity of the material being removed and the amount of new material introduced into the application area on a regular basis. The higher the quality and more viscous the material the higher the removal rate.
