An oil skimmer is a machine that separates a liquid from particles floating on it or from another liquid.
hese technologies are commonly used for oil spill remediation but are also commonly found in industrial applications such as removing oil from machine tool coolant and removing oil from aqueous parts washers.
The working principle is based on a linear movement of parts through the process; parts are conveyed through the different stages of the process at controlled and changeable speed. Parts can be moved in continuous or indexed for precision cleaning of holes and recesses.
Conveyors can be designed in many ways with steel belt, chain and rod type to carry parts or baskets and with necessary parts holding fixtures.
Dedicated pneumatically operated reciprocating pressurized spray manifolds with wrapping effect for precision cleaning to attain cleanliness values and to suit parts and the process requirement.
Drying systems using air knife with low compressed air consumption or regenerative blowers at an elevated temperatures for water dry off effect.
A common application is removing oil floating on water.
Suitable for manufacturing, automobile and aeronautical industries.
