Machine Center Skimmer Solves Two Problems in One Application
 |
|
Recently, a US automotive parts engineering facility contacted Abanaki Corporation about two issues it was having at its plant. The first issue
the company was facing was the high costs of constantly needing to replace its coolant, due to oil contamination. They wanted a way to
separate the oil from the coolant in hopes of being able to reuse the coolant and cut down coolant disposal costs. The second issue was removing
the oil from the wastewater recovery trenches. The plant manager contacted Abanaki salesman John Logar hoping Abanaki would have a machine
center skimmer to solve both of the problems.

Ask Skimmerman your questions and they will be answered in an email. Read below to see Skimmerman's answers to other questions.
Christopher Hollis asked:
My belt is slipping on my Mighty Mini, how can I fix it?
Skimmerman says:
Check to make sure there are no obstructions on the belt as it passes through the wipers. Check to make sure that the tail pulley (bottom roller) turns freely and is free from obstruction.
Sometimes the coolant/oil combination in the application can be extremely slippery, making the belt slip. Try adding a 1/2" spacer between the stabilizer bar spring and the mounting base
plate to provide extra tension on the belt. The added resistance should keep the belt from slipping.
Paul Edwards Asked:
How can I check to see if the oil I need removed will adhere to your belt materials?
Skimmerman Says:
Abanaki has various belt materials that give customers the best pickup rates possible; an easy test to see what belt material is the most effective is to simply take a piece of PVC and/or
metal pipe and run it through the oil that is floating on the surface. If the oil sticks to either one or both, then we know our belt materials will work as well.
