FAQ

Maintenance is aimed at keeping the oil skimmer in a good condition and at reducing the wear of consumable parts (belt, motor, power supply, etc.). Optimal maintenance involves blowing the scraping point with compressed air. It is advisable to periodically check the correct operation of the oil skimmer.

Oil separation is a fundamental treatment for good fluid performance. The recirculation of the emulsion cleaned of waste oils in the machine prevents wear of the machine and tools and guarantees better quality of the processed product. It reduces the frequency of maintenance on the tanks and consequently disposal costs and last but not least it reduces the risk of irritation for the operator and improves the quality of the working environment.

The oil skimmers with 230 V gear motor are designed in alternating current and are supplied only with a power cable without plug; the customer, depending on the type of connection, will install a plug, providing the correct protections against overcurrents and overvoltages.

The polyurethane belt is a standard component of belt oil skimmers and is used when working on baths with classic oil/water emulsion. Instead, the PVC belt performs well on liquids with acidic/alkaline PH and high temperatures, such as water-based liquids, which would damage the polyurethane belt.
