Tarantula Oil Skimmer

High capacity skimming at an affordable price

 

The TARANTULA incorporates two DOP-250 pumps which deliver a maximum capacity of 250 m³/h and can develop discharge pressures up to 10 bar while maintaining nearly maximum flow. It is capable of recovering a wide range of oils even with high viscosities. Each pump is fitted with a cutting knife that will handle many types of trash found in oil spills.

 

The TARANTULA offers high capacity skimming at an affordable price combined with well proven components. It can be supplied with thrusters for remote positioning.

All components are manufactured in marine grade aluminium, stainless steel or polypropylene. It has a single lift point, towing point and hose connections below the waterline. The TARANTULA is also available with DBD, Disc & Brush skimmer adaptors.

 

The TARANTULA incorporates the latest design self adjusting weir lip. The level of the weir is controlled by the pumping rate. As the weir floats on the internal contents of the hopper it lowers itself when the hopper is emptied by the pump, thus increasing the skimming depth. The weir is free to follow the wave movements independent of the position of the skimmer body.
