The Model 8 utilizes a continuous belt and wiper to remove up to 40 gallons of oil per hour from the fluid
surface. The belt, operating on a motor 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 oi l 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 dislodged. 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 8 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 8 is designed to last for many years. With the proper configuration it can handle liquid temper-
atures 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 8 exceptionally long life, even under the harshest conditions.
The Model 8 is the most widely used skimmer. Its size and removal capacity make it suitable for most ap-
plications. From a mere shimmer on top of water to a heavy oil slick, the Model 8 performs efficiently, re-
moving up to 40 gallons of oil per hour.
