The Model 1H is the most compact Brill®tube-type skimmer manufactured by Oil Skimmers, Inc. The unit is designed to remove oil from aqueous washing and machining coolant tanks where restricted access or small surface area make skimming a challenge. As with all Oil Skimmers, Inc. tube skimmers, the Model 1H provides continuous oil removal anywhere it’s needed – from parts washing operations in custom machine shops to start-up oil recovery ventures. This is a high-quality, economical solution you can depend on to get the job done.

Skim Oil Effectively - Cut Costs

With Model 1H working continuously to remove oils, sludge or grease, the life of coolants and washing tank solutions is extended. That translates into lower expenses. Because you don’t need to drain and recharge as often, your detergent or degreasing supplies last longer and your fresh water bills go down.

Wastewater treatment and disposal costs decrease, as well, because the water drained out of the tanks is cleaner, requiring less treatment. Another benefit is that this small, but highly practical skimmer helps you stay compliant with water discharge regulations.

Optimize Operations, Increase Revenue with Continuous Oil Skimming

Continuous oil skimming pays off. In manufacturing operations, parts emerge from water baths residue-free, ready for plating, coating, painting or just packing. Clean dies and tooling are ready for the next job.

In the food processing industry, continuously skimming of animal fats and vegetable oils in cleansing or canning operations prevents grease build-up or drainage filter clogs. This helps to avoid shutdowns for maintenance and bacterial colonization.

The market for recovered oil is growing. Whether oil recycling is your main business or it’s another source of revenue for your core business, skimming with the Model 1H can pay off.

Oil Removal Where You Need It

The Model1H unit is compact and light enough for one person to carry. It weighs less than 25 pounds and measures approximately 1' x 8.5" x 1'.

Do you need to skim oil at more than one tank at different times? No problem. Shut down the Model 1H and move it to the next tank.

Installing Model 1H is fast and easy, time after time. The unit’s pre-fabricated mounting options make it suitable for a variety of applications. Mount it to a railing, a wall, the side of a tank or even fasten it to a cart. Positioning may be vertical or horizontal, which accommodates a variety of skimming situations and varying water depths. Simply place the unit where it’s needed, turn it on and it goes to work immediately.

The Model 1H – Durability Made to Run 24/7

Oil Skimmers, Inc. tube-type skimmers need no regular maintenance and they have been operating in even the harshest environments for decades. Whether the tank solution pH is very high or low, this unit will last.

When it comes to oil skimming solutions, the Oil Skimmers Model 6V Brill® oil skimming system is the dependable, cost-effective and uncomplicated solution for removing oily waste from water during the manufacturing and wastewater treatment process.

The Oil Skimmers Model 6V waste oil recovery system removes animal, vegetable and petroleum-based oils, fats, greases, and oily wastes that float on the surface of water or other liquids. The unit efficiently removes as much as 100 gallons of waste oil per hour, and discharges it to the collection vessel. The recovered oil is virtually water-free.

Features and Benefits

• Closed-loop collector tube floats on water surface
• Collector tube performance is unaffected by any floating debris
• Tube easily floats up or down to adjust to changing water level
• Gyrating action of collector tube breaks up oil crusts
• Virtually maintenance-free operation
• Unique anti-clogging design
• Cast metal housing and structural members
• High performance, quiet-running motor
• Can operate unattended 24/7
• Up to 30-year operating life

How the Model 6V Works

The Oil Skimmers Model 6V Brill® waste oil recovery system removes oil from water using a specially formulated collector tube:

• Oil adheres to the outside of the floating closed-loop tube as it is drawn across the surface of the contaminated water and into the oil skimmer
• Unlike other types of skimmer skimmers, which can get clogged by floating debris, the tube type skimmer snakes over and around floating debris, adjusting automatically to changing water levels
• The tube is then drawn up into the oil skimmer and through scrapers that remove the oil
• The tube returns to the water surface to collect more oil
• Recovered oil flows into a collection container

The Expertly Crafted, Customizable Oil Separation Solution

Engineered for headache-free operation, the external parts of the Oil Skimmers Model 6V Brill® unit – the drive wheel fingers, scrapers, and pressure blocks – are made of high abrasion-resistant ceramic. Gearing is engineered to require minimal power and maintenance, and sealed in a cast housing to protect them from conditions found in environments where skimmers often are placed.

Thoughtful design and durable construction ensure the Model 6V Brill® system an operational life span of 25 to 30 years. Many units have been in service for more than 30 years and are still going strong.

The Oil Skimmers Model 6V Brill® waste oil recovery system has been designed to operate continually and unattended as it separates animal, vegetable, and petroleum-based oils, fats, and greases floating on the surface of industrial process water and wastewater.

Pre-engineered mounting systems increase the 6V's versatility and flexibility. They simplify placement of the system on pits, sumps, ponds, and open or closed tanks, thus eliminating costly development and fabrication of creating your own mount.

With experience in over 35,000 applications, our experienced representatives are available to survey your oil removal needs and provide a complete oil removal system to meet even the most challenging oil on water problem.

WHEN IT COMES TO REMOVING OIL FROM WATER, VERSATILITY IS KEY.

The Oil Skimmers Model 5H is designed for efficient oil removal in areas where the unit can be located within 3 feet of the water level. The “H” stand for “horizontal” in that the tube operates horizontally. This unit is used for above-ground tanks, parts washers, and other applications where the skimmer can remain within 3 feet of the skimming area.

Also similar to our Model 6V Brill™, the Model 5H waste oil recovery system removes oily waste using an oil collector tube. Oil adheres to the outside of the floating closed-loop tube and is drawn across the surface of the water and into the oil skimmer.

The collector tube snakes over and around floating debris, adjusting automatically to changing water levels. The tube is drawn up into the skimmer and through scrapers that remove the oil. Then the tube returns to the water surface to collect more oil, while the recovered oil flows to a collection container.
