Oil Skimmer redesigned for easier maintenance

Abanaki recently announced that its low-profile oil skimmer, Tubetas-tic! has been redesigned for easier maintenance. Tu-betastic! is designed to reach inside the coolant sumps of metalworking machines, weighing only six pounds, and easily mounts to the side of virtually any machining centre coolant sump. The skimmer can skim oil from regular coolant sumps or totally enclosed machining centres. Its design allows it to fit into hard to access sumps and drawers with little to no top access. Using an existing opening or through a small access cutout, the Tubetastic!’s collector tube runs through the surface of the coolant to collect unwanted oils. The oil then flows out the discharge tube into a waste oil container for recycling.

The Tubetastic! removes up to 1.5 gallons of oil per hour, and features a fan-cooled, continuous duty motor and standard collector tubes, allowing a reach of six inches, 12 inches, 18 inches, or 24 inches. Longer lengths are available. These units are available in 110 – 220V or 50-60Hz models.
