Our disk tramp oil skimmers (wheel skimmers) represent the most efficient and cost-effective method for removing floating oils from water and coolant surfaces. These systems utilize the principle of differential adhesion, where oil preferentially adheres to the rotating disk material while water is rejected.
All of our skimmers are designed for continuous operation with minimal maintenance, providing reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Each model is built with high-quality materials to ensure durability and long service life.

The oleophilic disk rotates through the oil-water interface, where oil adheres to the disk surface while water is repelled.
As the disk rotates, it carries the adhered oil up and out of the water or coolant.
A scraper blade removes the oil from the disk surface, directing it into a collection container.
The process continues automatically, providing ongoing oil removal with minimal supervision.
Perfect for small to medium applications
The DS-200 Standard Disk Skimmer is our most popular model for machine shops, small manufacturing facilities, and automotive service centers. Its compact design allows for easy installation in tight spaces while providing efficient oil removal from coolant tanks, parts washers, and other water-based systems.
Heavy-duty performance for demanding industrial environments
The DS-500 Industrial Disk Skimmer is designed for heavy-duty applications in refineries, steel mills, large manufacturing plants, and wastewater treatment facilities. With its robust construction and high-capacity oil recovery, this model excels in environments with significant oil contamination and continuous operation requirements.
Compact and versatile for multiple locations
The DS-100P Portable Disk Skimmer is ideal for facilities with multiple oil removal needs or for emergency response situations. Its lightweight design and optional DC power capability make it perfect for field operations, maintenance departments, and temporary installations where mobility is essential.
