The HELIX skimmer is a powerful brush skimmer in a revolutionary circular design to increase efficiency and total collection surface. The skimmer has a unique brush drive enabling it to collect the heaviest of oils. The HELIX is a revolutionary circular brush skimmer. It has been known for some time that circular skimmers have some operational advantages over square or rectangular units - namely that the oil is able to flow freely onto the collection surface from any angle. This is especially important with thick and viscous oils which do not flow very easily when pumped. DESMI Ro-Clean have...
