General
Information |

What
Type of Unit Should I Use?
If there
are no space limitations, we would normally recommend a disc/wheel
skimmer as it has
a higher collection rate than a belt unit. Belt units are
designed if you must reach into a deep sump/tank or are in a
confined area. |
| |
▪ |
What
Size Unit Do I Need?
The disc/wheel or belt
needs to be slightly under the surface of the fluid/solution.
You need to measure the distance from the mounting surface of the
unit to the normal level of the fluid/solution. We can
help you pick the correct unit with this measurement. |

When Should The Unit Be
Operated?
The unit will be most
efficient when the fluid/solution has a chance to settle out and
separate.
If you are running one or two shifts, run the unit
just before the start of the
first shift. When running three shifts, have the unit run during
shift changes, lunch breaks, etc. |
| |
▪ |
Do I Need a Timer On My
Unit?
We highly recommend using timers on all of our units The equipment will last
longer and it
will be more efficient than trying to remember to plug
the unit in or plugging
it and forgetting
to unplug it. |
| |
▪ |
How Long
Should The Unit Run?
This depends on how large
the sump/tank is and how much fluid there is to be removed.
We suggest that you use a timer and start in hour increments until
the fluid is removed |
| |
▪ |
What
Disc/Wheel Should I Be Using?
We use three different
materials for our discs/wheels.
▪ Acrylic for operating solution temperatures under 120º
Fahrenheit
▪ Aluminum for high temperature applications
▪ Phenolic if there is any chance the disc/wheel will be
used in caustic solutions |
| |
▪ |
What
Motor Should I
Use?
If
the unit is to be used on a machine center or any light duty
application, an intermittent
duty motor [Standard Motor] will do the
job if used with a timer.
If the unit is to be exposed to harsh conditions such as long use
durations or high heat such as a parts washer, a continuous duty
motor is recommend.
Even though the motor
is
rated
for continuous duty, we still recommend using a timer. |
| |
▪ |
What
Types of Motor's Do You Offer?
We use two different types of motors in all
of our units even though they may
have different RPM's.
▪ Our intermittent duty motors have a 5/16" [.312] diameter
output shaft.
▪ Our continuous duty motors have a 1/4" [.250] diameter output
shaft
These measurements
are over the full diameter of the shaft, not over the
flat end
of the shaft |
| |
▪ |
How
Much Power Do
The Unit's Draw?
Under full load conditions
▪ Intermittent motors will draw approximately .55 AMPS
▪ Continuous motors will draw approximately .055 AMPS |
