The Magnum 100 is capable of recovering both light and heavy oils with very low water content – typically around only 3%. It may be fitted with either an air or hydraulic drive motor. We offer a choice of pumps to suit the application.
The skimmer may be fitted with steam coils as an option to provide heat that warms the oil that’s being recovered (to aid pumping and prevent freezing) as well as melting ice surrounding the skimmer.
The Magnum 100 is offered with either the original smooth drums or the latest patented Grooved Drums which can achieve higher oil recovery rates. The Grooved Drum design has been extensively tested by the Ohmsett test facility and researched by the University of California, Santa Barbara.
The skimmer may be supplied with pneumatic or hydraulic motor with a choice of recovered oil pumps – air operated diaphragm, hydraulic driven submersible (E150 or ES400) or diesel driven lobe pump. Hydraulically operated skimmers may be delivered with a diesel or electric driven hydraulic power pack.
Elastec pneumatic skimmers are fitted with air motors that conform to EC Directive 94/9EC (ATEX 100a) for zones 1 and 2 (Group II, category 2, Gas and Dust Atmospheres) and a maximum surface temperature of 275 F / 135 C.

Diesel Hydraulic Configurations

D10 Power Unit + E150 Pump
The ELASTEC D10 Diesel Hydraulic Power Unit is paired with the ELASTEC E150 submersible pump.


D22 Power Unit + ES400 Pump
The ELASTEC D22 Diesel Hydraulic Power Unit can run the skimmer with the ES400 submersible pump.


D7 Power Unit + Lobe Pump
Our diesel driven Lobe pump has the ability to handle heavy oils with entrained solids. The skimmer is powered with the D7 powerpack.

Pneumatic Configurations
The Magnun 100 skimmer can be powered by compressed air. Fitted with two air motors, coupled to the drums with a gearbox, the drums can be turned at low speeds if necessary to recover light oil layers. The recovered oil pump (air operated diaphragm), can be remotely located (on the pond or river bank), alternatively it can be mounted on the skimmer itself, for high head applications.

Optional Extras
Wave breaker (to increase skimmer freeboard), spares kits, steam coils, disc and brush inserts, smooth or grooved drums, aluminum storage container.
