PORTABLE OIL SKIMMER

Enjoy the Benefits of Oil Skimming!

•Tote-It is easily hand carried to the source of the problem•Most inexpensive way to remove oil from water•Saves coolants by removing tramp oil•Conserves parts wash water by removing oily wastes•Prevents recontamination of parts as they are removed from wash tank•Prevents plugging of spray heads and filters•Reduces fluid disposal costs•Skimmed oil can be recycled and reused as a lubricant or fuel•Helps meet government requirements for water discharge

General Description

The Tote-It’s patented design is a dependable and effective means of removingfree floating oil from water. The single assembly unit can be used in anyapplication where 115 VAC, 60 or 220V, 50 Hz power is available.The Tote-It utilizes a continuous belt and wiper to remove up to 12 gallons of oilper hour from the fluid surface. The belt operates on a motor and pulley systemattached to a stabilizer bar that is immersed in the contaminated liquid. After traveling over the head pulley, the belt passes through tandem wiper blades whereoil is scraped off both sides of the belt, and discharged through a 1-1/4 in. IDhose. The tail pulley has flanges which allow it to roll freely on the inside of the belt without becoming dislodged. It does not need to be fastened to the tank.Oil skimming makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface tensionbetween oil and water. These physical characteristics allow the belt to attract oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from the surface of the fluid.The Tote-It is especially well suited for parts washing and machining centerapplications. By removing surface oil from a wash tank, the parts will not be recontaminated as they are withdrawn. Removing tramp oil from acoolant tankprevents excessive smoke and fumes due to oil burning during cutting operations.It also reduces bacteria growth in the tank, along with the resulting odor.

The Tote-It Advantages

•Multiple site usage — easily moved from one place to another•36 lb., single unit portability •A single unit elevates and separates oil•Can be used in tanks as shallow as a few inches•Requires no tank modifications in most applications •Maintains skimming efficiency in fluctuating fluid levels•Easy mounting and fast cleaning, with minimal maintenance
