Vacuum Oil Skimmer Factory Direct Sales



Oil skimmers mainly consist of three parts: the skimming head, the transfer system, and the power station. The skimming head separates oil from water; the transfer system includes pumps or vacuum devices, hoses, and connectors, which serve to transmit power and pump out recovered liquids; the power station provides power to the skimming head and pumps. Currently, oil skimmers used domestically and internationally mainly include weir type, belt type, DIP type, brush type, vacuum type, disc type, rope type, and other mechanical devices.

1. Weir Oil Skimmer (equipped with Sea Marker 052)



The weir oil skimmer is one of the most commonly used oil skimmers. It uses gravity to allow oil to flow from the water surface into an oil collector and pumps the oil from the collector into a storage container. It is suitable for recovering medium and low viscosity spilled oil in calm waters with wave heights less than 0.3 meters. Its characteristics include small size, light weight, simple structure, easy maintenance, high recovery speed, and wide applicability.



2. Belt Oil Skimmer ("Qinggang Environmental Protection No. 1")



The belt oil skimmer uses a rotating oleophilic adsorption belt to adsorb spilled oil from the water surface, and the adsorbed oil is scraped off by scrapers or rollers into an oil collector. The belt oil skimmer mainly consists of an adsorption belt, scrapers (or pressure rollers), a transmission device, and an oil collector. The belt oil skimmer has advantages such as high recovery rate, high recovery efficiency, wide adaptability, and good wave-following capability. At the same time, the belt oil skimmer also has disadvantages such as complex structure, large size, the need for lifting equipment for operation, and high cost.



3. Dynamic Inclined Plane Oil Skimmer (Sea Marker 12, Sea Marker 24, and Offshore Oil 251)



The dynamic inclined plane oil skimmer mainly consists of a screw-type oil pump, a detachable dynamic inclined plane conveyor belt, a ship-mounted suspension support system, oil-proof inflatable or solid floats, oil guide plates, piping systems, a power station, and an automatic control system. It is characterized by a wide range of applicable oil viscosities, the ability to recover spilled oil while moving, insensitivity to currents, suitability for oil layers of different thicknesses, minimal impact from floating debris, wide applicability, and high recovery efficiency and rate.



4. Brush Oil Skimmer (Korean professional oil spill response vessel)



The brush oil skimmer refers to a mechanical device that uses brushes to recover spilled oil. It mainly consists of several groups or rows of brushes, scrapers, and an oil collector. Its working principle is that spilled oil adheres to the rotating brushes and is scraped off into the oil collector, then pumped into a storage device. It is characterized by high recovery efficiency and rate, good wave-following capability, the ability to handle waves up to 1 meter high, and easy maintenance.



5. Vacuum Oil Skimmer



The vacuum skimmer is commonly referred to as a "skimming head." It refers to a device that uses a suction pump or vacuum pump to create a vacuum in a vacuum oil storage tank, and recovers the oil-water mixture through the pressure difference at the skimming head. The vacuum skimmer has the characteristics of small size of the operating device, simple operation, easy portability and movement, insensitivity to debris, easy maintenance, and low cost.

6. Disc Oil Skimmer



The disc oil skimmer refers to an oil spill recovery device that uses discs made of oleophilic materials to rotate in the oil-water mixture. When the discs rotate out, the adsorbed spilled oil is scraped off by scrapers into an oil collector and pumped to a storage container. Its advantages include good adaptability to light oils, high recovery efficiency, good adaptability to debris, simple maintenance, and wide applicability.

7. Rope Oil Skimmer



The rope oil skimmer uses a floating oleophilic material made into a certain length of ring-shaped rope mop to adsorb spilled oil from the water surface. The adsorbed oil is squeezed out by roller squeezing devices and stored in an oil collector. It has the advantages of good wave-following capability, high recovery efficiency, minimal impact from debris, large coverage area, and easy maintenance
