Tote-It Oil Skimmer

Wastewater sumps
Parts washers
Coolant systems
Heat treating fluids
Food processing plants
Parking lots, garages, and service facilities
Aircraft service areas and tarmac runoff
Truck, locomotive, and other mobile equipment washing facilities

The Tote-It is designed for those applications where multiple tanks can take advantage of a single portable unit. It also can be used in permanent installations with limited access areas, such as small parts washers and machining center coolant tanks. Typical applications include:

Where to Use It

Multiple site usage easily moved from one place to another
36 lb., single unit portability
A single unit elevates and separates oil
Effective in turbulent fluids
Can be used in tanks as shallow as a few inches
Requires no tank modifications in most applications
Maintains skimming efficiency in fluctuating fluid levels
Easy mounting and fast cleaning, with minimal maintenance
Rugged Construction for Harsh Conditions: The Tote-It has been designed to last for many years. Belts are specifically selected for your application (see Belt Selection page). A tough power train keeps the Tote-It running under the most severe conditions. With the proper configuration the Tote-It can handle liquid temperatures up to 212 F, and the pH of the fluid can range from 3 to 13.

Most inexpensive way to remove oil from water
Tote-It is easily hand carried to the source of the problem
Saves coolants by removing tramp oil
Conserves parts 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 andhelps meet government requirements for water discharge
Skimmed oil can be recycled and reused as a lubricant or fuel
Avaliable in 2" or 4" belt widths for efficient oil removal
Advantages

Features

The Tote-It is especially well suited for parts washing and machining center applications. By removing surface oil from a wash tank, the parts will not be recontaminated as they are withdrawn. Removing tramp oil from a coolant tank prevents excessive smoke and fumes due to oil burning during cutting operations. It also reduces bacteria growth in the tank, along with the resulting odor.

Oil skimming makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water. These physical characteristics allow the belt to attract oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from the surface of the fluid.

The Tote-It utilizes a continuous belt and wiper to remove up to 12 gallons of oil per hour from the fluid surface. The belt operates on a motor and pulley system attached to a stabilizer bar that is immersed in the contaminated liquid. After traveling over the head pulley, the belt passes through tandem wiper blades where oil is scraped off both sides of the belt, and discharged through a 1-1/4 in. ID hose. The tail pulley has flanges which allow it to roll freely on the inside of the belt without becoming dislodged. It does not need to be fastened to the tank.

The Tote-It's patented design is a dependable and effective means of removing oil from water. The single assembly unit can be used in any application where 115 VAC, 60 Hz power is available.
