Skimerator Logo

The SKIMERATOR® is the perfect complement to Wayne Products’ family of oil skimming products. The SKIMERATOR is a floating oil skimmer system that not only skims oil from your coolant, like our Mini-Skimmers, but also aerates your coolant to reduce bacteria growth and improve working conditions.

CLEAN & GREEN! The original SKIMERATOR® skims contaminating oils and aerates coolant so your CNC machine can perform at peak efficiency while extending coolant life – saving you time and money.

The SKIMERATOR uses no filters or consumables and is easily assembled and installed.

Dirty Waste Water Disposal

Oil Skimming Prevents Contamination

Oil Skimmers are necessary for cleaning oily wastewater before dumping it into sewage or waterway. Using an oil skimmer will effectively clean oily wastewater and can significantly reduce the cost of treating wastewater when compared to other treatment methods. Dumping oily wastewater can lead to an extremely large fine and/or a trip to your nearest correctional facility.

Dirty Coolant

Oil skimmers clean your CNC coolant, also known as tramp oil. Tramp oil can severely affect your coolant and will eventually reduce the efficacy of it. Disposal of dirty coolant can be expensive and there are actually benefits to disposing of oily wastewater properly.

Inefficiency

Clean coolant is more efficient and in addition to the quality of the product being improved, oil skimmers cut cycle times and reduce wear and tear on cutting tools. They can also increase the life of the filter in the water since tramp oil and sludge won’t be binding to it, and as mentioned above, reduces cost and maintenance.

Poor Working Conditions

An oily work environment can lead to skin and respiratory problems for your employees! Which again could lead to potential and unnecessary increased costs. An oil skimmer will prevent the work environment from being messy.
