Tackling oil contamination in shallow CNC machine sumps has never been easier, thanks to the revolutionary Sidewinder™ Tube Oil Skimmer. Say goodbye to the struggles of accessing tight spaces at your CNC sumps.
Unlike conventional skimmer solutions such as belts or disk skimmers, the Sidewinder is a compact yet powerful skimmer explicitly designed for environments where size matters. Engineered for agility, it maneuvers around corners and navigates through narrow openings. They are designed to be compact and to fit on the side or above the sump tank. This makes the Sidewinder ideal for smaller sumps and sumps with low fluid levels.
Embodying the essence of “American-Made, American-Quality,” the Sidewinder is proudly manufactured at our facility in Solon, OH.
Key features of the ZVA Sidewinder™ Tube Skimmer
The Sidewinder Tube Oil Skimmer is a cutting-edge tramp oil removal product employing an oleophilic (oil-attracting) continuous looped tube. Its remarkable ability to operate effectively even in shallow fluids sets this skimmer apart. It requires mere inches rather than the typical one to two feet of coolant required by belt skimmers.
The Sidewinder operates on the same principle as belt skimmers. Its looped tube disrupts the surface tension of the coolant, causing the oil to stick to the tube, which then passes through a scraper that removes the oil into a tray.
Add a diverter attachment for even more savings! The diverter will return your cleaned coolant back to your sump and divert the tramp oil into a bucket for disposal.
It’s that easy!
