V3 Vertical Separator

The SmartSkim® V3 Vertical Separator System is designed to work in tight places where there is not enough room for typical separators. The unit can be floor mounted or removed from its base and mounted directly to your tanks.

SmartSkim® V3 systems have been successfully deployed on coolant sumps, parts washers and wastewater tanks. Wherever you need floating oil removed. Our multi-patented SmartSkim® V3 Vertical Separator Systems deliver unprecedented oil skimming and separation efficiencies in a remarkably small footprint. SmartSkim® Systems are open channel gravity coalescing separators. That is, they eliminate the maintenance because there is no coalescing media to clean and replace when fouled and plugged. The SmartSkim® Vertical Separator features a mild steel construction.

This system works by gravity only. Skimmed fluids are slowly pumped into the coalescing flights. Oil rises and is captured below the angled flights, then directed out of the flow to a capture zone. At the same time, solids in the skimmed fluids settle out in the separator by gravity and fall out of the flow to the cone bottom where they are periodically purged. Cleaned fluids gravity drain back to the source tank.

Low maintenance. Outstanding performance. Systems installed worldwide.

Key Features:

V3 Vertical Separator

The award winning SmartSkim® Vertical Separator employs “Open Channel” Helical Coalescing which separates both gross solids and free floating oils without plugging.

Gentle approach – won’t split weak emulsions or remove additive packages like a high speed centrifuge will. Can be used with virtually any coolant or cleaner.

Gentle flow through the system minimizes any formulation removal and maximizes oil separation.

SmartSkim® is low maintenance. The only moving part is the pump. High speed centrifuges and tortuous path coalescers require labor and time to effectively clean and maintain and they can’t deal effectively with any more than a minimal amount of fines and solids.

Quality of construction – Common Sense Engineering
Oil removal is simple and relatively free of water
Simple adjustable discharge weir to set level in separator
Sloped bottom of tank makes solids discharge easy and clean. Tank has full bottom drain.

Ease of installation. No electrical panel necessary, only 1 to 2 SCFM of plant air is required to operate pump.

Fair and affordable pricing. No electrical panels.
