Floating Drum Oil Skimmer
The world's most efficient floating oil skimmer!
|
|
These floating drum skimmers (FDS) float on the surface, and sealed flotation makes it unsinkable. The drums are motor driven (by air or hydraulics) and turn slowly attracting the oil to its surface and rotating around to the wiper blade which scrapes the floating oil off and it runs into the sump area, where it is picked up by pump suction and transferred to storage. The FDS is known to be the most effective oil skimmer in the world! |
Great for heavy industrial or spill work and is the tool of choice for several spill contractors and facility owners since it is so fast and does not give you much water to deal with. Readily skims light or heavy floating oils, even works in ice or any weather.

STATE OF THE ART! The Floating Drum Skimmer. Takes heavy abuse-rugged & almost bullet proof very reliable. Requires a pump to remove skimmed oil. Used extensively in the steel and refinery industries. These drum skimmers are the most efficient and the most selective floating skimmers available anywhere, due to the large surface area at water level, that is exposed to the floating oil. Easy to install and operate. Drum skimmers need only 3" of water to float in. “The Drum 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 FDS Floating Drum Oil Skimmer is a robust and reliable drum skimmer designed with industrial applications in mind. The standard skimmer frame is manufactured in Polyethylene HD, making it resistant to many chemicals found in industrial pits, sumps, separators and tanks. The FDS is capable of recovering both light and heavy oils with very low water content typically around only 2 to 3%.
The motor, gearbox and drums are capable of thousands of hours of trouble free operations. The scrapers are self-adjusting to allow for wear. The FDS is supplied fitted with either an air or hydraulic motor. The Floating Drum Skimmer is also offered with a marine grade anodized aluminum frame and drums for hot environments. We can also deliver a stainless steel version for hot and corrosive applications such as palm oil skimming.
