Over the years Oil Skimmers, Inc. has
developed a number of "prefabricated mounting systems"
to aid the customer with the installation of its Model 6V
and Model 5H oil skimmers. These
systems were created as a direct response to the requests
of customers. This service resulted in mounting systems, which
solved many customer challenges.
|
• They
enable the skimmer to be located over the skimming area
with out the need for expensive platforms or bridgework.
• Pre-engineered -- thus eliminating
cost to design and build.
• They are designed to allow gravity
discharge of oil into an above ground collection tank
eliminating extra pumps.
• They allow movement of the skimmer
for safe, easy access.
• Are equipped to accept optional heaters,
if required.

SPECIAL MODIFICATIONS
The systems described below are standard
"off the shelf" units and readily available. Should
your application require something other than these, Oil Skimmers,
Inc. is ready and able to modify or design the appropriate
mounting system. Just contact us

6V FLOOR MOUNT - For
in-ground sumps where the skimmer can be mounted near the edge
or directly over the sump the floor frame mount systems were
developed. These
provide for easy, economical installation, which only require
a small amount of assembly. They eliminate the need for the
customer to engineer and design the installation of the skimmer
and allow the skimmer to be mounted high enough to discharge
to an above ground collection tank (e.g. 55 gallon drum).
Available
in:
60" FLOOR FRAME - Positions
the skimmer 5 feet above the floor level. The oil drops into
a sludge pan which drain is high enough to empty into a 55
gallon drum.
The skimmer is located approximately 6"
over the edge of the sump, but swings back for easy, safe
access. The sludge pan can be heated with a 200 watt heat
pad and the decanting system can easily be added and also
heated.
30" FLOOR FRAME
- Same as the 60" except it positions the
skimmer 30" above the mounting level. Primarily
used where the skimmed oil collection vessel is at a lower level.
Very useful on tall above ground tanks.

6V RAILING MOUNT -
Where a sturdy guardrail exists around the edge of the sump
the railing mount allows for an efficient method of mounting.
It positions the skimmer out over the water
but allows it to be swung back for easy economical servicing.
The skimmed oil drips from the skimmer into a sludge pan, which
can be mounted high enough to discharge into a 55 gallon drum.
The
pan can be heated and the decanter easily added and also heated.

6V WALL MOUNT - Where
a high wall is present near the edge of a sump or pit the wall
mount can be used to install the skimmer. The
framework can easily be secured to the wall, thus mounting the
skimmer at any height desired.
Like the other frame mounts the oil discharges into a sludge
pan, which drains into the collection vessel. The pan can be
heated and the decanter easily added and also heated.

6V CART MOUNT -
The 60" or 30" floor frame can be supplied with a
portable cart. This allows one unit to service a number of locations.
The cart is modified to accept the skimmer
and floor frame and counter balanced to permit the unit to operate
near the sump edge.

6V BOOM MOUNTS
One
of the challenges facing Oil Skimmers, Inc.'s customers in
its early years was how to locate the skimmer over the water
when it was impossible or undesirable to locate it near the
water's edge. A costly and time-consuming walkway or platform
was required. The requirement was eliminated with the introduction
of the "Boom Mounts". These
are pre-engineered, pre-constructed economical mounting systems
which allow the Model 6V to be positioned over the water.
The skimmer can be mounted at any height to allow gravity
discharge of the skimmed oil,
eliminates special design work and construction of support
platforms and allows the skimmer to swing back to shore for
safe, easy servicing. Boom mounts are available in two designs:
6V CANTILEVER MOUNT - Where
a reach of 1 to 7 feet is needed the cantilever mount is recommended.
By locating a mast near the edge of the basin or sump the
mount need only be assembled. The
skimmer will be out over the water. It will be mounted high
enough to allow for gravity discharge (the supporting boom
serves as the discharge pipe) and will swing back to the side
for easy and safe servicing. The entire system can be pre-wired,
heat traced and insulated for winter installations. The system
is available in standard 6' and 8' lengths but can be easily
modified for shorter lengths.
6V BALANCED MOUNT - For
longer reaches over 8 feet a balanced boom mount is available.
This enables the Model 6V to be positioned up to 20 feet from
the edge of the separation basin. The
system easily assembles to the mast and can locate the skimmer
(Model 6V) at a height which allows gravity discharge to the
shore. The boom, which supports the skimmer, serves as a discharge
for the oil. With the aid of balancing weights the skimmer can
easily be swung around to the edge and lowered for easy, economical
servicing. For winter applications the entire system can be
pre-wired, heat traced and insulated.

6V HANGING MOUNT -
For areas where an overhead structure is present the option
is available to mount the Model 6V by hanging it from its handles.
It can be mounted at any height to allow
gravity discharge and a "hanging kit" is used to channel
the oil in any direction for easy collection.

5H Side Mount - For
tanks which have no access this mount is designed to bolt or
weld to the side of the tank. An
access opening is cut into the tank to allow the tube to enter
and exit. All working parts of the unit are on the outside of
the tank.

5H Drum Mount - In
order for the unit to serve a number of tanks it can be mounted
onto a portable drum. A
special adapter is available which locates the unit onto a 55
gallon drum and allows it to discharge directly into the drum.
Oil Skimmers, Inc. can supply the top adapter or entire drum
package.

5H Cart Mount - For
mobility and the ability to serve multiple tanks, the Model
5H can be mounted on a frame mount which is secured to a "cart".
The cart is modified to accept the frame and balanced to allow
the skimmer operation.

5H Wall Mount -
On applications where the unit can not be mounted to a tank,
Oil Skimmers, Inc. has available a
wall mount kit which enables the unit to be secured to a near
by wall.
The collection pan can easily be piped to a nearby storage vessel.

5H
Frame Mount -
If the Model 5H cannot be mounted to a tank or nearby wall,
a floor frame mount is available. The frame
mount would be located independent of the tank, hold the unit,
and allow it to skim from the tank. The sludge pan catches
the skimmed oil from skimmer and can be easily piped to a collection
vessel. To prevent freezing the collection pan can be heated.
