Floating Tripod Oil Skimmer
Floating skimmer
|
The TriSKimmer (TSK)is an old well proven design of floating weir oil or surface skimmer that can work in lots of industrial and spill situations. With 3 separate floats tied together by the framework and central round funnel weir, this is a very stable oil skimmer and easy to keep floating flat or level. With the central round weir the stainless steel TriSKimmer will pull from a 360 degree surface area, influencing the area all around it. The hose connection is located dead center at the bottom of the adjustable banded drain pipe, which is used to easily set the funneled weir height or depth which determines how deep a cut or skim is coming off the surface and into the weir. On the topside there is a rotating T-handle on this funneled drain pipe which is turned to simply adjust the surface skim or surface cut vertically. No tools needed ever. This T-handle is also a carrying handle. |
Be aware, this is not an automatically self adjusting weir skimmer like our Floating weir skimmer (FWS), but it is easy enough to adjust before installation or by leaning down over it from a boat or dock or platform above it. A one time adjustment is all that's needed for most applications and it will keep skimming at that depth until you change it.

The TriSKimmer is especially handy for skimming sheen or light product where you just want to take a light cut or shave off the top surface. You can't get that kind of control with the FWS because the weir is a moving part that has to have clearance so that it can move. If you need precise control of the cut or skim off the surface this is the skimmer for you. This baby has no moving parts after you done an initial setting of the funnel weir with the rotating T handle while our FWS automatically self adjusting weir has only one moving part-the hinged weir.
This TriSKimmer comes in 4 sizes from the Baby TS1 with a 1” camlock quick connect outlet swivel, which can skim from 1 to 25 gpm, all the way to the BigBoy TS4 with a 6” outlet which can skim from 10 to over 600 gpm.
We've taken surface skimming to a new level of control, by adding the precise depth control available with the manual screw T handle adjustment. The TSK is perfect for closed tanks or jobs where you want and need fixed / constant skimming depth cut.
