General Description
The Abanaki Model 4 Oil Grabber is a depend- able and effective means of removing oil from water and water-based solutions. Often, skim- ming by itself will reduce oil to an acceptable level of water purity.Depending on the charac- teristics of the liquid, it is possible for the Model 4 alone to reduce oil content to less than five parts per million in water. The unit can be used as a pretreatment beforefiltra- tion, and in conjunction with coalescing systems.The Model 4 utilizes a continuous belt andwiper to remove up to 20 gallons of oil per hour from the fluid surface. The belt, operat- ing on a motor and pulley system, runs through contaminated liquid to pick up oil from the surface. After traveling over the head pulley, the belt passes through tandem wiper blades where oil is scraped off both sides of the belt and discharged. The tail pulley has flanges which allow it to roll freely on theinside of the belt without becoming dislodged.It requires no bearings and does not need to Go WithThe Pro! The Model 4 Advantages
