Construction

Manufactured using durable, corrosion-resistant materials and available with optional decanter systems, integrated waste oil storage and transfer pumps, MAK Water's Oil Skimmers deliver dependable performance with minimal maintenance requirements.

Removing oil at the source can reduce operating costs, improve wastewater treatment efficiency, extend equipment life and support environmental compliance objectives.

Mechanism

Mechanical oil skimmers work by exploiting the natural tendency of oil to float on water. A continuously moving belt or floating tube attracts and collects oil from the liquid surface, while specialised wiper assemblies separate the recovered oil for collection and disposal.

Available in multiple configurations, skimmers can be tailored to suit varying tank sizes, oil types and site requirements.

Key features

  • Removes oil, grease and hydrocarbons from water and wastewater streams
  • Improves wastewater treatment efficiency and protects downstream equipment
  • Simple, reliable operation with low maintenance requirements
  • Belt and tube skimmer options to suit a wide range of applications
  • Supports environmental compliance while reducing operating costs
