Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ZEBRA SKIMMERS from 3G Electric.
What types of oil skimmers does ZEBRA SKIMMERS offer?
ZEBRA SKIMMERS manufactures belt, disk, and tube-type oil skimmers. Belt skimmers, such as the BPF1-08, use a continuous polymer belt to lift oil from the water surface, with capacities up to 1 gph and reach lengths of 8 inches. Tube skimmers use polyvinyl tubes that attract oil and are drawn over wipers. Disk skimmers use rotating disks for oil pickup. All models are designed for industrial applications like coolant sumps and wastewater pits.
What replacement parts are available for ZEBRA SKIMMERS belt oil skimmers?
Replacement belts for ZEBRA SKIMMERS belt oil skimmers are available in polyurethane, such as the BP-18 belt (1 inch wide by 44.8 inches long) for use with the BPF1-18 model. Wiper blades are also supplied as standard components. These parts are designed for easy field replacement to maintain skimmer performance.
Are ZEBRA SKIMMERS tube oil skimmer tubes interchangeable across models?
ZEBRA SKIMMERS tube oil skimmer tubes are model-specific. For example, the ZT8-14 tube (14 inches long) is for use with the ZVA8-14 skimmer, while the ZT8-08 tube (8 inches long) fits the ZX-CART8-08 model. Always verify compatibility by matching the tube length and part number to your skimmer model.
What is the accuracy of ZEBRA SKIMMERS analog handheld refractometers?
ZEBRA SKIMMERS analog handheld refractometers, such as the OPT32 and OPT10, offer an accuracy of +/-0.1% for Brix measurement. They feature manual automatic temperature compensation and are designed for field use in monitoring coolant concentration or salinity. The scale range typically starts at 0 ppt salinity.
What material are ZEBRA SKIMMERS oil skimmer belts made from?
ZEBRA SKIMMERS oil skimmer belts are made from polyurethane, which provides resistance to oils and abrasion. The belt material is selected for durability in continuous contact with water and oil mixtures. Belts are available in specific widths and lengths to match different skimmer models.
Does ZEBRA SKIMMERS offer odor-control products for industrial sumps?
Yes, ZEBRA SKIMMERS offers odor-control tablets, such as the XOCT25 model. These tablets are designed for use in industrial sumps, wastewater pits, and other water-containing systems where organic decomposition produces odors. They provide a chemical means to reduce smells without complex equipment.
