Abanaki's New Tubetastic!(TM) Oil Skimmer Eliminates Need for Overhead Access to Coolant Sump



New Unit Can Skim Oil from Chip Conveyors, Even Totally Enclosed Machining Centers

Cleveland, OH, October 21, 2002 - Abanaki Corporation, the world leader in oil skimming products, has introduced a revolutionary new oil skimmer that works in places where other skimmers can't: on coolant sumps with little or no overhead access.

The problem-solving Tubetastic!(tm) easily mounts to the side of virtually any machining center coolant sump. Using an existing opening or through a small access cutout, the unit's collector tube runs through the surface of the coolant to collect unwanted oils. The oil then flows out the discharge tube into any waste oil container for easy disposal.

Tubetastic!(tm) removes up to 1.5 gallons of oil per hour, says Abanaki President Tom Hobson, "thereby prolonging the life of the coolant and its efficiency." Tubetastic!(tm), priced at $289, features a fan-cooler continuous duty motor and standard collector tubes allowing a reach of 6", 12", 18" and 24"; longer lengths are also available.

The Tubetastic!(tm) oil skimmer is just one of many industry-leading products from Abanaki Corporation. Headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, Abanaki has served a global customer base in industries as diverse as iron and steel, wastewater, paper, food processing, automotive, environmental remediation, and recycling for more than 30 years.
