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.

Many different industries can prevent water pollution by recovering oily waste with a Monroe Oil Skimmer. Even the lightest oils from food processing can be easily removed.
