Description

General

The Model 5-H is a compact oil skimmer specially designed for small or hard-to-get-at places or in congested plant areas. It can be installed on open or closed tanks. Like the Oil Skimmer Model 6-V it is fully automatic and works 24 hours/day, 7days/week.

The Model 5-H oil skimming system removes waste oil by means of an oil collector tube. Oil adheres to the outside of the closed-loop tube and is slowly drawn across the surface of the water and into the oil skimmer. (See Video)

The collector tube snakes over and around floating debris, adjusting automatically to changing water levels. The tube is drawn up into the Model 5-H oil skimmer and through scrapers that remove the oil. Then the tube returns to the water surface to collect more oil. The recovered oil flows to a collection container.

There are numerous 5-H mounting systems available to ensure easy installation and peek performance.
