Many different industries can prevent water pollution by recovering oily waste with a Monroe Oil Skimmer. The Monroe Oil Skimmer operates unattended in any area of tranquil oil accumulation. It will continuously recover floating oil in a condition that permits disposal or reclamation for other industrial purposes. Even the lightest oils from food processing can be easily removed.
Superior Belt Type Oil Skimmer
- Removes tramp oil from process liquids
- Prevents oil pollution
- Recovers valuable oil products
- Minimum maintenance
The Monroe Oil Skimmer is heavily constructed for industrial applications and consists of an endless belt, an electric motor and drive unit and a complete enclosure. The belt is suspended from a pulley, with the lower portion immersed in an oil supporting liquid. As the belt descends into the liquid, the floating oil adheres to both sides of the belt. Self-adjusting wipers mounted in a staggered position wipe the oil from the belt. The recovered oil drains into a trough for deposit into a storage tank or containers.
Why buy some rinky-dink skimmer that will last one year, and then need to be replaced? Buy an oil skimmer that will last 30 years! — The Monroe Oil Skimmer
Monroe Oil Skimmers are available in 8 in. to 24 in. belt widths
