Paddle SKIMMER
Zenit Ambiente’s Vane Skimmer is suitable for the recovery from the water surface of oils of different viscosities, from the most volatile such as gas oils and gasoline to the most viscous such as crude oil.
The roller recovers water-free oil so it is particularly suitable for any application where a pure and possibly reusable product is required.
The roller is also able to recover the thin film of oil that, when present in small amounts, creates a surface iridescence.
It can operate completely autonomously without the presence of operators and supervision, continuously for long periods.
The operation of the skimmer is very simple, based on the adhesion effect of the oil to the particular roller material. The rotation of the rollers creates a surface flow that allows the recovery of floating substances even in areas of the tank farther from the Skimmer. The roller is rotated by an air motor, the oil adheres to the surface and is lifted off the water. As the oil adhering to the roller approaches the scrapers, it is recovered and conveyed to the reservoir where the pump, also pneumatic, direct suction and located on board Skimmer, is housed. The pump sends the recovered oil to final storage.
Description
APPLICATIONS
The Paddle Skimmer works on the same principle as the roller and brush, it differs from the previous ones in that it can also recover solid objects of significant size. The pump is on board Skimmer, transfers oils and solid objects recovered up to a certain size.
Solid objects recovered from the vanes and having significant size are not evacuated by the pump, but remain confined in the Skimmer and must be removed by manual systems or external self-purging.
FIELDS OF APPLICATION
Refineries, Fuel Depots, Iron and Steel Plants, Marinas, Tankers, Port Basin Cleanup and Sea Recovery Companies, Engine Maintenance Facilities, Car Washes and Machine Shops, Rainwater Treatment Plants, Purifiers, Civil Defense Departments.
The Zenit Ambiente Skimmer comes complete with all accessories and ready to use:
– Skimmer with floating paddle rollers.
– Control panel.
– Connected flexible hoses for air supply and oil delivery.
– Air pump.
