Food processors are always looking for ways to cut costs and reduce their impact on the environment. Cutting costs is good for the company, and being “green” is a great marketing strategy in today’s market. The Model 8 belt oil skimmer helps remove free floating oils in a variety of different applications. A food processor in New Jersey uses the Model 8 belt oil skimmer to reclaim frying oils from its wastewater stream to enable the plant to discharge to the public sewer. With the help of a Model 8 belt oil skimmer, company managers are able to remove up to 32 gallons of oil an hour, as well as get the oil content down to acceptable discharge standards. Belt oil skimmers are not a new technology but have proven to be a cost-effective low-maintenance solution to wastewater contamination. See the Model 8 oil skimmer in action in this video!
