Vens Rope Mop Oil Skimmer recovers floating oils from the surface of water using a rope mop. This floating mop is driven over the surface of the oil by a drive unit which also squeezes the oil out of the rope for recovery. Vens rope mop skimmers use a unique fibrillated polypropylene rope which is oleophilic (attracts oil) to remove the floating oils in a wide range of spill clean-up or industrial applications and have proven their reliability in thousands of applications worldwide. The rope mop system is ideal for recovering oil over small or large areas, in separators or pits, harbors and dams in any climate and in a complete range of viscosities.
