The unique Mini-Max is a self-adjusting floating weir skimmer that is capable of recovering a wide range of oils and waste products floating on the water surface.
The Mini-Max skimmer head can be connected to any self-priming suction pump. Capacity and viscosity handling of the skimmer head is determined by the suction pump or vacuum system attached to the skimmer – vacuum systems can pull a deep suction. The Mini-Max floating weir skimmer is ideal for small industrial separators, tanks and waters and can be coupled directly to a vacuum truck or other suction pumps such as diaphragm pumps. In this mode it may be considered for use in hazardous areas.
The Mini-Max is ideal for skimming a wide range of products – as long as it floats and flows, the Mini-Max will be able to recover it. It is typically packaged with a diesel driven 3in diaphragm pump in a convenient aluminium, polyethylene or wooden storage box.
Advantages of the Mini-Max self-adjusting floating weir skimmer:
- Totally self-adjusting articulated weir lip allows the weir to fully react to water movement
- Shallow draught and lightweight, the Mini-Max is ideal for industrial, inland and coastal oil spill operations
- 360 degree uninterrupted flow of oil into the central hopper, with buoyancy provided by the central float
- Reliability, as the Mini-Max is constructed from robust materials and is virtually maintenance-free. It is ideal for installation in oil pits, API separators and other process lagoons
- Simple operation – the Mini-Max does not require compressed air or hydraulic power to adjust the skimming depth, this is simply achieved by regulating the suction rate
