Abanaki's Tote-It Oil Skimmer with New Removable Trough
Removable trough facilitates easy cleaning
Cleveland, OH, April 21, 2006 - Abanaki Corporation, the world leader in oil skimming products, has redesigned its Tote-It® portable oil skimmer to include a new removable trough that makes clean up and oil disposal easier. The new design also allows customers to upgrade to wider belt sizes, as their oil removal volumes expand, without replacing the entire oil skimmer unit.
Abanaki's patented Tote-It oil skimmer removes up to 12 gallons-per-hour (45 lph) of free-floating oil from water. The single assembly unit, weighing just 36 pounds (16 kilograms), is easy to move around a facility and can be hand carried to any indoor or outdoor application. It can also be used in permanent installations with limited access areas.
Well-suited for removing oil from parts washing and machining center applications,
the Tote-It also reduces bacteria growth in tanks along with resulting odor.
With proper configuration the rugged Tote-It can handle liquid temperatures up to 212º F along with pH levels ranging from three to 13. The units mount easily and require minimal maintenance and cleaning.
Designed for dependability and low maintenance, the Tote-It oil skimmer uses the company's proprietary belt skimming process that performs as the most inexpensive method for removing oil from water. Its belt attracts oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from the surface of the fluid, where the contaminants are then scraped off the sides of the belt and easily discharged.
Manufacturing and industrial applications are found throughout a facility:
· Saves coolants by removing tramp oil
· Conserves wash water and prevents recontamination of parts as they are removed from wash tank
· Prevents plugging of spray heads and filters
· Reduces fluid disposal costs and helps meet government requirements for water discharge
· Skimmed oil can be recycled and reused as a lubricant or fuel
· Effective even in turbulent fluids and fluctuating fluid levels
· Requires no tank modifications in most applications
Abanaki offers a variety of belt materials and widths (1", 2" or 4"), depending on the application. Oil skimming specialists consult with customers to identify the proper belt dimensions, materials and length for the specific application.
