Oil Grabber® Model 4
The Model 4 Oil Grabber is a dependable and effective means of
removing oil from water and water-base solutions. Often, skimming
by itself will reduce oil to an acceptable level of water purity. De-
pending on the characteristics of the liquid, it is possible for the
Model 4 alone to reduce oil content to less than five parts per million
in water. The unit can be used as a pretreatment before filtration,
and in conjunction with coalescing systems.
The Model 4 utilizes a continuous belt and wiper to remove up to 20
gallons of oil per hour from the fluid surface. The belt, operating on
amotor and pulley system, runs through contaminated liquid to pick
up oil from the surface. After traveling over the head pulley, the belt
passes through tandem wiper blades where oil is scraped off both
sides of the belt and discharged. The tail pulley has flanges which
allow it to roll freely on the inside of the belt without becoming dis-
lodged. It requires no bearings and does not need to be fastened to
the tank. If turbulent conditions exist, an optional tether and cage
assembly prevents the tail pulley from being dislodged

.
Oil skimming makes use of the differences in specific gravity and surface tension between oil and water.
These physical characteristics allow the belt to attract oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from the surface
of the fluid. The Model 4 can be used in tanks with depths as shallow as one foot, or as deep as 100 feet.

Advantages
Rugged Construction for Harsh Conditions:
The Model 4 is designed to last for many years. With the proper configuration it can handle liquid temp-
eratures up to 212°F, and the pH of the fluid can range from 1 to 13. Belts are specifically selected for
your application (see Belt Selection page). The skimmer drive includes an oil filled gear reducer with
bronze gears and ball bearings. The motor, reducer, and powder coated finish of the weldments give
the Model 4 exceptionally long life, even under the harshest conditions.

Typical Applications
The Model 4 is designed for those applications where other models provide excess capacity, or physic-
ally will not fit. From a mere shimmer on top of water to a heavy oil slick, the Model 4 performs efficiently,
removing up to 20 gallons of oil per hour from wastewater sumps.
