New Mighty Disk(tm) Skimmer from Abanaki Removes More Oil, Saves More Money



Abanaki Introduces Skimmer with New Wiping System That Removes 40% More Oil from Industrial Coolant

Cleveland, OH, September 9, 2002 - Abanaki Corporation, the world leader in oil skimming products, now offers the Mighty Disk(tm), a disk skimmer equipped with a revolutionary new wiping system that removes 40% more oil than conventional wipers.

Mighty Disk(tm) uses a pick-up media similar to a 1/2" thick phonograph record to remove the tramp and honing oil that contaminate industrial coolants - especially coolants used in parts washers and in the machine tool industry. The oil is picked up by the disk and discharged into a trough.

By removing this oil, says Abanaki President Tom Hobson, "Mighty Disk(TM) prolongs the life of the coolant and its efficiency, thereby saving the manufacturer money. Removing waste oil also prevents machine operator dermatitis, the rotten-egg smell, and the oil mist associated with the buildup of anaerobic bacteria in contaminated coolant."

In addition to its unique new Boomerang Blades(tm) wiping system, the Mighty Disk(tm) also features a high-temperature disk and fan-cooled continuous-duty motor to suit most applications. Pricing starts at $159.00 per unit.

The Mighty Disk(tm) skimmer is just one of many industry-leading products from Abanaki Corporation. "With the introduction of the Mighty Disk(tm) skimmer, Abanaki now offers a full range of coolant maintenance equipment to service the machine tool industry," said Hobson. Other products include the Mighty Mini(tm) series belt skimmer, Tubetastic(tm) tube type skimmer, and Coolescer(tm) coolant refresher.

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.
