Skimmers
Filtration solutions for the treatment
of process liquids and gases.
Oil skimmers are used to remove tramp oils from the surface as well as floating oils and greases from all types of liquids.
The removed oil or grease is subsequently collected in a separate container. For simple application, belt skimmers or hose skimmers are used. For larger suction quantities FAUDI suction funnel skimmers are used.
The use of oil skimmers increases the service life of the cooling lubricant used and reduces nucleation.
The maintenance of cooling lubricants has been proven to increase the economic efficiency of the manufacturing process and also reduces the impact on the environment.
The skimmer ensures effective removal of tramp oils and impurities, thereby maintaining the quality of the cooling lubricant. This not only extends its service life, but also saves costs for replacement and disposal.
By optimizing the manufacturing process, the skimmer increases efficiency. It enables large suction volumes and minimizes the influence of contamination without impairing the function of floats.
The skimmer can be easily integrated into existing tank systems without a great deal of effort. It therefore offers a flexible solution that can also be easily implemented at a later date.
Let us advise you now, without obligation, on the best skimmer variant for your application.
The oil/grease discharge is performed through a slowly rotating continuous belt, which is pulled through the surface of the liquid. The oil adheres to the continuous belt and removes the oil from the surface of the cooling lubricant. The oil is then stripped off and collected in a separate container.
A hose skimmer has a hose that floats on the surface of the cooling lubricant. The floating oil is collected by the oil pick-up hose and enters the skimmer. The stripped tramp oil is collected in a separate container. Due to its robust design, the hose skimmer can be used in continuous operation.
The self-priming pump placed on the tank sucks the liquid flowing into a suction funnel. A sensor detects the surface of the liquid and controls the suction funnel to the optimum working position by a driven axis. Depending on the selected time interval, the filling level is checked and the suction funnel is re-positioned. Changes in the filling level are thus compensated. The extracted oil is collected in a separate container.
