How our skimmers work
As the discs or floating drums rotate, oil adheres to the
surface separating it from the water. Oil is then drained into
the collection trough where it is pumped or sucked out to a remote
containment location. Around the world, our skimmers have proven
their reliability and versatility in a variety of circumstances.
Choose from our complete line of skimmers or talk to our engineers
about equipment to suit your needs. Systems are available in pneumatic,
diesel or electric power. A test
kit / model is available. We offer a Lifetime drum warranty.
