Steel Mill Oil Skimmers

Steel and oil and water — who says they don’t mix?

Different types of oil skimmers and how they work.

In the steel industry, oil in and on water is a constant. Bless these steel guys. By the very nature of their operations, oil gets spilled or leaked regularly, resulting in lots of floating oil and it needs to be removed. Call!

RULE #1 — Shut it down! Never!
RULE #2 — Keep it running till the downturn. Always!

“The SteelMax skimmer has done a consistently thorough job of removing hydraulic oil from our Rolling Mill Scale Pits. It has collected enough oil for resale from the water system to cover 50% of its initial cost within one year.”   — D.B., Plant Mechanical Engineer, Steel Dynamics Inc.

The steel mill oil skimming applications are the toughest. The equipment has to be rugged and simple enough to run without any attention or maintenance. There is simply not enough manpower to stay on top of it. It will usually be ignored until it breaks!

We have developed specialty skimmers —
hardened specifically for the steel industry!

That’s where we come in! We have a goodly amount of experience and equipment in the steel industry. We know how to match the application to the correct and appropriate technology, which often means:

"We’ve already screwed that one up."
But we learned how to do it right!

Skim: Morgoil™, hydraulic, lube, rolling emulsion, animal fat

As you know, the "steel guys" are a shy bunch, so pictures are rare, BUT the guys in steel do talk and even sometimes share information. What an industry!

We have ALL TYPES and technologies of oil skimmers and separation equipment for removing oil from water—or vice versa. WE LOVE OIL!
