The oil skimmer type I is an excellent solution for separating every kind of quantity of surface oil from an aqueous liquid. In contrary with the traditional oil skimmer, the Laborex oil skimmer type I can be used in a continuous system f.ex. in a transit washing tunnel.
The oil is skimmed off from the liquid surface through a special tilting float. By using a hinging tilting float the skimmer remains to function efficient in case of variable liquid heights.
The integrated pneumatic diaphragm pump sucks the mixture of oil and liquid out of the tilting float and pushes it to the oil separator.
By means of the lamellae which improve the coherence of the oil drops, and a partition wall, the oil is separated very accurate from the liquid.
The separated oil is captured in a collecting van while the liquid flows back to the bath.
In general the oil separator type I has the following characteristics:
A very good oil separation in a bath with a fluctuating liquid level, for every type and quantity of surface oil.
The oil skimmer type II is also provided with a thermic isolation, a pressure regulating valve and a manometer.
The oil skimmer type I is treated with a 2-component primer-coat with an etching and passivating functioning based on polyvinyl butyral. The final coating consists of a 2-component paint based on modified acrylic/isocyanate.
Dimensions: 485 x 655 x 1260 mm.
Note: Our oil skimmers type II can only be installed on cleaning and degreasing systems.
