Tube Oil Skimmer

Fishboy Tube Type Oil Skimmer

How The Oil Skimmer Works
Skimoil’s Fishboy Oil Skimmers use our specially formulated FishTube collector tube that is sized in length for the application and welded into a continuous loop. FishTube collector tube floats on the surface of water and is driven in a continuous loop by the skimmer. Oils, fats, and grease cling to the outside surface of the tube and are drawn into the skimmer. The material drawn into the skimmer is scraped off by abrasive resistant Dureon® scrapers and flows into a sludge pan with drain coupling. The clean tube is then driven back to the surface of the water by the skimmer to remove more material.
Animal fats, cooking oil, cutting oil, diesel fuel, fly ash, gasoline, grease, hydraulic oil, jet-a fuel, kerosene, lubricating oil, paint sludge, quench oil, RAD waste, silicone, solvents, sludge, soybean oil, tramp oil, vegetable oil, waste oil — no problem for a Skimoil Fishboy Oil Skimmer with FishTube collector tube.

Oil Skimmer Removal Rates
Removal rates for any oil skimmer depend on the viscosity of the material being removed and the amount of new material introduced into the application area on a regular basis. The higher the quality and more viscous the material the higher the removal rate.
