A company that handles the transferring of petroleum and alternative fuels recently had a leak in one of its reservoir tanks. The company purchased a 4 inch Tote-It with a Fuzzy betl and Oil Concentrator to clean up the mess.

With its patented design, the Tote-It belt oil skimmer is a dependable and effective means of removing oil from water. The single assembly unit can be used in any application where 115 VAC, 60 Hz power is available.

The Tote-It belt oil skimmer utilizes a continuous belt and wiper to remove up to 12 gallons of oil per hour from the fluid surface. The belt operates on a motor and pulley system attached to a stabilizer bar that is immersed in the contaminated liquid. 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 through a 1-1/4 in. ID hose. The tail pulley has flanges which allow it to roll freely on the inside of the belt without becoming dislodged. It does not need to be fastened to the tank.

Working with the Fuzzy belt , the Tote-It was able to successfully remove 5 gallons of oil in 15 minutes. Once all of the oil is removed there is still a thin layer of hydrocarbon on the surface, but the Oil Concentrator helps to remove any oil remnants.
