Monroe Oil Skimmers
The Monroe Oil Skimmer is heavily constructed
for industrial applications and consists of an endless belt,
an electric motor and drive unit and a complete enclosure. The
belt is suspended from a pulley, with the lower portion immersed
in an oil supporting liquid.
As the belt descends into the liquid, the
floating oil adheres to both sides of the belt. Self-adjusting
wipers mounted in a staggered position wipe the oil from the
belt. The recovered oil drains into a trough for deposit into
a storage tank or containers.
The Monroe Oil Skimmer operates unattended
in any area of tranquil oil accumulation. It will continuously
recover floating oil in a condition that permits disposal or
reclamation for other industrial purposes.
