Oil Grabber® Model MB
The Model MB 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 MB alone to reduce oil content to less than five parts per mil-
lion in water. The unit can be used as a pretreatment before filtra-
tion, and in conjunction with a coalescing system.
The Model MB utilizes continuous belts and wipers to remove up to
200 gallons of oil per hour from the fluid surface. The belts, operat-
ing on a motor and pulley system, run through contaminated liquid
to pick up oil from the surface. After traveling over the head pulley,
the belts pass through tandem wiper blades where oil is scraped

Advantages
Rugged Construction for Harsh Conditions:
The Model MB is designed to last for many years. With the proper configuration it can handle liquid temper-
atures up to 212 ½F, 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 MB exceptionally long life, even under the harshest conditions.

Typical Applications
The Model MB is designed for those applications where other skimmers do not provide adequate removal
capacity. Multiples of two, three, or five belts are available. From a mere shimmer on top of water to a
heavy oil slick, the Model MB performs efficiently, removing up to 200 gallons of oil per hour.

Specifications
Approximate Oil Removal Rates and installation dimensions for Model MB Skimmers
Removal Rate: (See Table)
Tail Pulley:
Specify standard or high capacity. (The high capacity option uses a patented pulley design that improves
the adherence of oil to the inside of the belt, thus increasing the removal rate.)
Motor:
Fractional, TEFC, gear motor operating on either 115/230VAC, single phase, 60Hz or 230/460 VAC, three
phase, 60Hz.
Optional: 50Hz power source; explosion proof; drip proof; pneumatic; and wash down duty motors.
Belt Width:
8 in. (20 cm)
Belt Length:
User specified (up to 100', measured from the center of head pulley to center of tail pulley)
Belt Material:
Specifically selected for your application (see Belt Selection page)
Wiper:
Nitrile standard; UHM, Ceramic or CRV optional. Specify wiper material based on temperature and fluid
compatibility. (See "Operating Limits.")
Mounting Method:
For MB 2x8 and 3x8 Bracket for 5" steel channel (supplied by customer), with oil discharge through the
channel. For MB 5x8 Bracket for 5"square tube (supplied by customer), with oil discharge through the
channel.
Weights 1:
Drive assembly and housing with motor, without belts or tail pulleys:
2 belt unit: 74 lbs. (34 kg) max.
3 belt unit: 86 lbs. (39 kg) max.
5 belt unit: 110 lbs. (50 kg) max.
Tail pulley (per belt): 10 lbs. (4.5 kg)
4 ft. corrosion-resistant steel belt: 7 lbs.(3.2 kg)
(belt weight varies according to actual length specified)

off both sides of each belt and discharged. The tail pulleys have flanges which allow them to roll freely
on the inside of the belts without becoming dislodged. These lower pulleys require no bearings and do
not need to be fastened to the tank. If turbulent conditions exist, an optional tether and cage assembly
prevents the tail pulleys 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 belts to attract oil and other hydrocarbon liquids from the surface
of the fluid. The Model MB can be used in tanks with depths as shallow as one foot or as deep as 100 feet.
