¡ Comparison test between the MINI-SKIMMER floating oil collecting equipment and collecting equipment on the market
A comparison test was made between the MINI-SKIMMER floating oil collecting equipment and a belt-type oil skimmer available on the market in terms of the collecting speed and separation accuracy of oil over time while running them under the same conditions.
After a run was started, surface oil could be collected in a short time and when all of the floating oil was collected after the elapse of a certain period of time, no coolant was mixed with the collected oil. (Photos after the elapse of 7 hrs.)
yTest conditionsz
- Undiluted solution --- Coolant (5% concentration)
- Oil --- Machine oil: 0.8L (For comparison, a red coloring agent is mixed.)
- Tank --- Net content: about 30L

–MINI-SKIMMER
Collection starts in the Q pot
– Collecting equipment on the market
Collection starts after oil becomes stuck to a belt
œAfter the elapse o
f 1minute
–MINI-SKIMMER
Oil collection starts very soon.
– Collecting equipment on the market
Oil collection starts slowly.
œAfter the elapse of 5 minutes
–MINI-SKIMMER
About 80% of the total quantity of oil has been collected
.
– Collecting equipment on the market
About 40% of the total quantity of oil has been collected.
œ After the elapse of 7 hrs.
