Control Tramp Oil Buildup
Continuously or periodically remove floating tramp oil before it continues to accumulate on the coolant surface.
Oil Skimmer Application
Oil Skimmers for Coolant Maintenance
Wayne Products coolant-maintenance systems for removing floating tramp oil from machine-tool coolant sumps, from compact belt skimmers to the Skimerator oil-removal and aeration system.
Control Tramp Oil in Machine-Tool Coolant
Tramp oil can accumulate on the surface of machine-tool coolant and increase routine sump-maintenance requirements. Wayne Products offers belt-skimming systems for continuous or intermittent surface-oil removal, along with the Skimerator for applications that combine tramp-oil removal with coolant aeration.
Why Include Oil Skimming in Coolant Maintenance?
Support Routine Sump Maintenance
Surface-oil removal helps keep machine-tool coolant sumps easier to inspect and maintain.
Choose Skimming or Skimming + Aeration
Select a Mini-Skimmer for straightforward surface-oil removal or a Skimerator when both tramp-oil removal and coolant aeration are desired.
Which Coolant-Maintenance System Fits Your Sump?
Select the system based on sump size, coolant-level variation, duty cycle, available mounting space, and whether aeration is needed. Mini-Skimmer models provide compact belt skimming, while the Skimerator combines surface-oil removal with coolant aeration for medium-to-large sump applications.
Skimerator
Best for: Medium-to-large coolant sumps where tramp-oil removal and coolant aeration are both desired
The Skimerator removes floating tramp oil while aerating the coolant as it circulates through the system. Shallow-draft, deep-draft, and floating configurations are available to accommodate different coolant-level conditions.

Cogged Poly Mini-Skimmer
Best for: Continuous tramp-oil removal in machine-tool coolant sumps
The positive-drive cogged polyurethane belt provides reliable surface-oil pickup for routine machine-tool coolant maintenance and is the standard Mini-Skimmer belt style for machine-shop coolant service.

Flat Poly Mini-Skimmer
Best for: Light to medium duty coolant applications with compatible neutral fluids
The flat polyurethane belt provides an economical option for routine tramp-oil removal where polyurethane is compatible with the coolant, temperature, and operating conditions.

Mini-Skimmer R.S.
Best for: Small coolant sumps and intermittent skimming needs
The compact R.S. is designed for applications where oil skimming is needed periodically rather than continuously, making it a practical choice for smaller sumps and lighter maintenance duty.
