Wayne Products introduces intermittent-use oil skimmer

January 23, 2017 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Wayne Products now sells a Mini-Skimmer R.S., a belt-type oil skimmer that collects over a quart of oil per hour despite its tiny housing that measures just 3 x 3 x 2.75 in. Designed as an easy-to-use solution for small machine shops, Mini-Skimmer R.S. skims unwanted tramp oils from coolants, but can rest easily with the flip of a switch once its job is complete.

Named after Rich Segermark, the company’s founder and inspirational innovator, Mini-Skimmer R.S. is the smallest of Wayne Products’ expanding family of oil skimming products.

It is the only oil skimmer on the market with an on/off switch, allowing users to easily monitor its activity, and is lightweight and small for seamless transportation between machines.

The design of Mini-Skimmer R.S. emphasizes ease of use, knowing that smaller machine shops sometimes need a small, simple product that is portable, yet effective. Mini-Skimmer R.S. comes with the company’s industry-standard, stretch-resistant, fiberglass-reinforced cogged belt but has a liquid tight housing made of anodized aluminum and a motor with the highest torque for a skimmer of its size. It is also shipped completely assembled – just plug it in and flip the switch.

“This oil skimmer is the perfect solution for small machining operations. It has been designed from scratch to address key customer needs while hitting a price point previously unattainable,” said Don Ware, President of Wayne Products.

Wayne Products offers industrial customer base an affordable product. Expect the company to continue to develop new products in the future as it fulfills its mission of providing the best and longest-lasting products to its customers.

Wayne Products has manufactured Mini-Skimmers and Maxi-Skimmers since 1989 from its facility in Broomall, PA. They also manufacture Electra- Kool Filtered Blowers for use on electrical enclosures and electric motors. Visit www.miniskimmer.com for more information.
