Redesigned Tube Skimmer
August 1, 2017
Abanaki Corporation has improved the design of the TubeTastic! tube skimmer. The renovated skimmer has metal reinforcements to prevent wearing on the skimmer and the tube material during abrasive applications.
The TubeTastic! can mount to the side of a variety of machining center coolant sumps. It can skim oil from chip conveyors or completely enclosed machining centers. Using an existing opening through a small access cutout, the unit's collector tube runs through the surface of the coolant to collect unwanted oils. The oil then flows out the discharge tube into any waste oil container for disposal.
The redesign helps to prevent wear and tear on both the skimmer and tube. In abrasive applications, friction and aggressive chemicals can cause an oil skimmer to warp or the tubes can erode during the skimming process. The metal reinforcements help alleviate the stress on the skimmer and prevent the tubes from ripping, helping to provide a longer lasting and low-maintenance oil skimming operation.
This oil skimmer is capable of collecting up to 1.5 gallons of oil per hour and has a reach of up to 36", suitable for machining center applications. The TubeTastic! features a fan-cooled, continuous duty motor and standard collector tubes measuring from 8" to 36" reach. Units are available with a 110v or 220v, 50/60Hz motor.
