Other Skimmers
EV-3 Skimmer System
The Aqua-Guard EV-3 is an entry-level oil skimmer that incorporates many of the performance features found on our industry leading RBS oil skimmers.
EV-3 Skimmers rely on adhesion of oil to the surface of a rotating Brush, Disc or Drum. As this rotates through the oil/water surface, the oil adheres to the bristles or drum surface and is removed by a scraper. The recovered fluid is collected in a common sump and pumped away.
Features
-
High oil recovery rates with up to 98% efficiency
-
Easily assembled, operated and maintained
-
Pump can be removed (no tools needed) and used as a separate hydraulic pump
-
All marine grade Aluminium and Stainless Steel construction
-
Versatile, able to be changed from a Drum to a Disc or Brush in less than one minute
-
Ideal for industrial applications such as oil/water separators, sumps, chronic spills and oil spill control
Each EV-3 Skimmer includes -
- A free-floating oil skimmer head
- Power Pack
- Transfer and hydraulic hose set
- Operations and maintenance manuals
Rope Mop Skimmers
Rope Mop Skimmers are suitable for recovering oil from the surface of water in remote relatively inaccessible areas. They are particularly useful in open water wave conditions or where a high quantity of debris is present. They can be operated in ditches, ponds, lagoons, canals, pits and separators.
Oil adheres to the oleophilic ropes as they pass through oil on the surface of the water. Squeeze rollers in the skimmer head remove the oil from the ropes as they pass through the head.
Our range of Rope Mop skimmers comprises
Rope Mop 90 - Our largest capacity model designed for the recovery of heavy and medium viscosity oils. A crane suspends the skimmer head over the surface of the water. Since the skimmer head doesn`t touch the water it is ideal for use in rougher water conditions.
Rope Mop 40 - A lightweight, barrel mounted model for use in a horizontal operation.
Aqua-Weir Skimmers
Aqua-Weir Skimmers are available in a number of sizes to suit your recovery needs. Aqua-Weir skimmers are ideal for collecting oil in shallow water and can be used in conjunction with your existing pumps or our line of Vacuum Trucks.

- Easily assembled, operated and maintained
-
All marine grade aluminium and stainless steel construction
-
Diesel, gas, pneumatic or electric pump systems available
-
Semi circular design with multi inlet ports
-
Ideal for industrial applications such as oil/water separators, sumps, chronic spills and oil spill control
Skimmer Accessories
Aqua-Guard supplies a range of Oil Recovery Skimmers for most types of environments from difficult land and shoreline situations to wave conditions in open water
Boom Wings
Boom Wings attach to fittings on the RBS-05 and RBS-10 Skimmers. They act as guides to channel spilled oil to the skimmer head intake.
Cold Weather Hose
Aqua-Guard offers a ``Bumble Bee`` suction and discharge hose that remains flexible in cold weather. Another benefit to the hose is reduced storage volume. The picture shows both the standard 2`` discharge hose and the 2`` ``Bumble Bee`` hose.
Lift Poles
Lift Poles are designed to assist personnel in moving the components of RBS-05 and RBS-10 skimming systems. The skimmer heads, pumps and hydraulic power packs all have fittings that allow the poles to be inserted.
XLT Package
The XLT Accessory Package for the RBS-05 and RBS-10 Oil Skimmers includes a bush bag that holds the extra flexible and compact suction and discharge hoses, spare parts and tools.
