Multi-Skimmer Package
A unique package of oil skimming equipment that provides a solution for most skimming jobs. At the heart of the package is a D7 diesel hydraulic power pack that’s used to run either a TDS118 skimmer or its larger brother, the TDS136. Also provided is the shallow draft self-adjusting SeaSkater NP weir skimmer. Oil is recovered from any of the three skimmer heads using our powerful lobe pump that is capable of handling a wide range of oils.
D7 Oil Skimmer Power Pack
The D7 is a compact and portable diesel-driven hydraulic power pack for operating a range of equipment. This is the smallest skimmer power unit that we produce. Fitted with a single hydraulic circuit it is able to run an Elastec drum skimmer. Recovered oil can be collected from the skimmer using a separate pumping system.
This power pack features a hand and electric start diesel engine mounted in a steel cage frame fitted with hydraulic flow control. Handles and solid wheels are fitted so that the unit can be moved around the site. The open style allows excellent access for maintenance. A hydraulic pressure gauge shows the working pressures. This unit is also offered with high flotation tires and drop handles.

Oil Skimmers
The Elastec floating drum oil skimmers are designed for continuous duty in oil spill or industrial applications. They are ideal for response operations in shallow waters such as creeks, rivers, and lakes as well as in harbors and near-shore incidents.
TDS118 Oil Skimmer
The Elastec TDS118 floating drum oil skimmer is available in pneumatic or hydraulic motor for oil spill response or industrial use. Due to its shallow draft and light weight, the TDS118 is ideal for cleanup in creeks, rivers and lakes. It is capable of recovering a wide range of oils.
TDS136 Oil Skimmer
The Elastec TDS136 floating drum oil skimmer is designed for continuous duty in oil spill or industrial applications. The TDS136 skimmer is ideal for response operations in shallow waters such as creeks, rivers, and lakes as well as in harbors and near-shore incidents. It is capable of recovering both light and heavy oils with very low water content, typically 2 to 3%.

SeaSkater NP
The SeaSkater is a self-adjusting weir oil skimmer, it represents a significant step forward in weir skimmer design. Conventional weir skimmers typically have the float frame under the skimmer, the unique SeaSkater has it above to reduce draft. The SeaSkater has large diameter floats to increase the water line beam, combined with lightweight design, results in a new generation of weir skimmers with unparalleled responsiveness to wave movements.
| Skimmer Model | SeaSkater NP |
| Recovery Rate* | Varies on pump/vacuum source |
| Weight | 167 lb / 76 kg |
| Dimensions | 74 x 67 x 34 inch / 188 x 170 x 87 cm |
Shovelhead Skimmer
The ELASTEC ShovelHead is a lightweight, suction skimmer that can be attached to a suction pump or vacuum system. The ShovelHead can recover a variety of oils or liquids from the water’s surface and is best suited in calm water conditions. The head can operate in minimal amounts of water due to a draft of only 2 inches / 50 mm.
| Skimmer Model | Shovelhead |
| Recovery Rate* | Varies on pump/vacuum source |
| Weight | 26 lb / 12 kg |
| Dimensions | 47 x 28 inch / 119 x 70 cm |
Lobe Pump
The Elastec Lobe pump is a heavy duty diesel driven pump set, the lobe pump is capable of handling solids and viscous materials. For industrial or oil spill applications up to for product transfer such as filling and emptying trucks and transferring slurry between pits. Matched to an electric start 9hp / 6.7kW diesel engine the pump can deliver up to 159 gpm / 36 m3/h @ 58 psi / 4 bar.
Run Dry: The pump is capable of dry running for a period up to 30 minutes without damage
Self Priming: Up to 25 ft (wet)
Solids Handling: The lobe design handles tough applications where large solids may be present in the liquid. The two-wing design has a cavity between the lobes and housing – facilitating solids.
