BS Belt Oil Skimmer for Small, Narrow Tanks
When tank space is very limited and installation positions are restricted, the FRIESS BS belt oil skimmer continuously removes floating oil from tanks as small as 100 × 100 mm. Its oleophilic belt collects oil from the liquid surface, while the scraper mechanism discharges the recovered oil. It is ideal for machine-tool emulsion tanks, compact degreasing baths and other space-constrained process tanks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between the BS10, BS20 and BS30?
The three models mainly differ in belt length and discharge height. The BS10 has a 1,150 mm belt and a 334 mm discharge height; the BS20 uses a 1,500 mm belt and a 509 mm discharge height; the BS30 uses a 2,200 mm belt and an 858 mm discharge height. All three are 160 mm wide and recover 2–15 L/h.
Q2: How does the BS differ from a tube oil skimmer?
The BS uses a continuously circulating oleophilic belt and fits extremely small spaces down to 100 × 100 mm. Tube oil skimmers use a floating collection tube and are better suited to larger tanks and basins.
Q3: How does the BS belt oil skimmer work?
The circulating oleophilic belt enters the liquid and collects floating oil. At the top, scraper blades remove the oil into a collection tray before the belt returns to the tank for continuous operation.
Q4: How long does installation take?
The BS is supplied as a prefabricated system and requires no complex commissioning. In typical installations it can be ready for operation within about 30 minutes.
Q5: Where is the BS typically used?
Typical applications include machine-tool emulsion tanks, compact degreasing systems, CNC metalworking, surface treatment, small wastewater systems and other narrow process tanks.
Beyond cost savings, FRIESS oil skimmers, electrostatic oil cleaners, magnetic filters, coolant purification systems, oil-water separators and vacuum oil purifiers provide many additional benefits.
