ECONAD Oil Belt Skimmers are compact mechanical systems designed for continuous removal of floating oil, grease and petroleum products from water, coolants, emulsions, washing solutions and industrial wastewater.
The skimmers use an oleophilic collection belt that attracts oil while allowing most of the water to remain in the tank. Their simple construction, low energy consumption and continuous operation make them suitable for industrial wastewater treatment, machine-tool coolant maintenance and other applications where free-floating oil must be regularly removed.
Efficient Oil Separation
The operating principle is simple and reliable.
A continuously moving collection belt passes through the contaminated liquid. Oil, grease and petroleum products adhere to the surface of the belt and are carried into the skimmer housing.
Special scrapers remove the collected contamination from the belt and direct it through the discharge outlet into a separate collection container.
The cleaned belt then returns to the liquid surface and the recovery cycle continues automatically.
ECONAD Belt Skimmers can be used for:
- Industrial wastewater tanks
- Settling tanks
- Oil collection wells
- Oil-water separators
- Sludge pits
- Machine-tool coolant systems
- Parts washing systems
- Heat-treatment facilities
- Industrial washing equipment
- Food-processing grease traps
- Circulating washing systems
- Removal of tramp oil from coolants and emulsions
They are particularly suitable for continuous removal of free-floating oil from industrial process liquids.
Oil contamination in metalworking coolants can reduce coolant performance, create unpleasant odours and increase maintenance requirements.
ECONAD Belt Skimmers continuously remove floating tramp oil from the coolant surface, helping maintain cleaner process liquids and reducing the accumulation of unwanted hydrocarbons in machine-tool tanks and industrial circulation systems.
The skimmer can operate continuously with minimal operator involvement.
Once installed above the tank or reservoir, the belt continuously passes through the liquid surface and removes accumulated oil.
An optional timer can be supplied to allow the skimmer to operate according to a predetermined schedule.
The SKM 3, SKM 6, SKM 10 and SKM 20 models require only 6 W of electrical power, making them an economical solution for continuous industrial oil separation.
The compact skimmers operate from a standard 230 V power supply and can be installed directly on tanks, separators and industrial equipment.
Compact SKM models feature a simple mounting arrangement using two bolts.
An optional magnetic stand is also available, allowing the skimmer to be installed or repositioned without permanent modification of the tank or equipment.
This provides flexibility when the skimmer needs to be used at different locations within a facility.
The smaller SKM models are lightweight and require very little installation space.
Their compact construction allows them to be installed directly on:
- Machine-tool tanks
- Small settling tanks
- Separators
- Industrial washers
- Coolant reservoirs
- Wastewater treatment tanks
Larger-capacity models are available where higher oil recovery rates are required.
- Continuous Oil Removal: The moving collection element continuously removes free-floating oil from the liquid surface.
- Low Operating Costs: Compact models consume only 6 W of electrical power during operation.
- Simple Mechanical Principle: The straightforward belt-and-scraper design provides reliable operation with minimal complexity.
- Multiple Capacities: Models with recovery rates from 3 to 50 L/h allow the skimmer to be selected according to the application.
- Easy Installation: Compact models can be mounted using two bolts or an optional magnetic stand.
- High-Temperature Operation: Suitable for process liquids with temperatures of up to 90°C.
- Compact and Lightweight: Small dimensions allow installation even where available tank space is limited.
- Wide Range of Industrial Applications: Suitable for wastewater treatment, machine-tool coolants, separators, washing systems and other industrial processes.
