Destiny’s® Tramp Oil Skimmer is an essential industrial device used to remove floating oil from coolant tanks, machine sumps, and industrial process fluids. In manufacturing environments such as CNC machining, die casting, and metal cutting operations, tramp oil contamination can reduce coolant efficiency, create bacterial growth, and cause unpleasant odors.
A high-efficiency tramp oil skimmer continuously separates unwanted oil from coolant surfaces, helping maintain clean fluids and improving machine performance. Our industrial tramp oil skimmers are designed for reliable operation, minimal maintenance, and maximum oil removal efficiency.
Trusted by 10000+ industrial installations worldwide.
What is a Tramp Oil Skimmer?
Destiny’s® A Oil Skimmer is a mechanical device designed to remove floating oil contamination from water-based fluids such as coolant, process water, and washing tanks. Tramp oil typically originates from machine lubrication systems, hydraulic leaks, slideway oil, or gearbox oil.
When this oil accumulates on the coolant surface, it prevents oxygen exchange and promotes bacterial growth. Over time, this contamination leads to foul odors, reduced coolant life, and decreased machining performance.
A oil skimmer solves this problem by continuously removing the oil layer from the fluid surface, keeping the coolant clean and reusable.

How a Oil Skimmer Works
The working principle of a tramp oil skimmer is based on the natural property of oil to adhere to certain surfaces.
The skimmer uses a rotating component such as a belt, disc, or tube that passes through the contaminated fluid surface.
Step-by-step process:
- The skimming medium moves through the coolant surface.
- Floating oil adheres to the skimmer surface.
- The rotating mechanism lifts the oil out of the tank.
- Scraper blades remove the oil from the belt or disc.
- Collected oil flows into a separate container.
This continuous process ensures efficient oil removal without interrupting machine operations.
Installing a tramp oil skimmer is simple and requires minimal modifications to the coolant tank. The unit is mounted on the tank edge with the skimming belt or disc partially submerged in the fluid.
Maintenance typically involves:
Cleaning scraper blades
Inspecting belt or disc condition
Emptying oil collection container
Routine maintenance ensures long and reliable service life.
What is tramp oil in coolant?
Tramp oil is unwanted oil contamination that mixes with coolant due to machine lubrication leaks or hydraulic systems.
Why is tramp oil removal important?
Removing tramp oil prevents bacterial growth, foul odor, and coolant degradation.
Where are oil skimmers used?
Oil skimmers are used in CNC machines, metal cutting operations, and industrial coolant tanks.
