Compact Oil Skimmers

These skimmers have a wheel, which requires less space than skimmers with a belt. Use them to remove oil and grease from the surface of liquid in machine coolant sumps, parts washers, and other tanks. Your tank opening must fit the wheel diameter and wheel reach.

Adjustable Oil Skimmers

Accommodate shallow and oddly-shaped tanks—this skimmer has a belt that you can position at an angle. Use it to extract oil and grease from the surface of liquid in tanks, sumps, and parts washers. Skimmer comes with three mounting brackets to fit a barrel, a flanged tank wall, and a straight tank wall; install vertically.
