Skimoil Floating Drum Oil Skimmer floats 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 runs into the sump area, where it is picked up by the pump suction and transferred to storage.
The Descriptions of Skimoil Floating Drum Oil Skimmer
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, and even works in ice or any weather.

Takes heavy abuse & 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.
