＞Integrated recovery and separation in a single unit. No test run required
Floating Oil & Debris Recovery Unit with Separator
Place the attached float in the tank – the built-in self-priming pump draws in the fluid, which is automatically separated and recovered by the separation tank. Recovery and separation are completed in one compact unit.
＞ Floating Oil & Debris Recovery Unit with Separator – Features
The float developed for the recovery skimmer efficiently suctions floating debris on the water surface.
Installed in the pit, it prevents leaks unlike land-based pumps. The integrated float and pump enable recovery and transfer in one unit. The pump is made of corrosion-resistant resin and SUS stainless steel.
No electrical work required – easy installation
- Operates simply by connecting to air supply
- Customizable design to fit installation space
Self-priming design allows dry running
- Equipped with our in-house diaphragm pump
- Self-priming and capable of dry running
Handles challenging fluids with ease
- All SUS construction (for high-temperature fluids)
- PVC/PTFE construction (for corrosive fluids)

Unit Details
Introduction to each part of the unit.
▶ Return Valve
The discharge amount of floating material is adjusted by controlling the liquid level in the separator tank.
Start operation with the valve fully open. If, after sufficient accumulation of floating material, the liquid level does not reach the height of the floating material outlet, gradually close the valve to raise the liquid level.
▶ Inspection Port
Allows inspection of contamination inside the piping.
Although constant fluid flow prevents clogging, this port allows you to check overall contamination levels as a reference.
▶ Discharge Port (VP40A)
Only floating material is discharged due to the liquid level difference in the separator tank.
The system is designed to discharge directly into a pail or similar container, but piping can be connected as needed to suit your setup.
▶ Air Connection Port (Ø10)
A three-way valve is used for the air connection of this unit, designed to release internal pump pressure when stopped.
Since air-operated pumps require a momentarily high starting pressure during startup, always use a three-way valve for turning the pump ON/OFF.
If the pump fails to restart reliably, it may be due to insufficient starting pressure. In such cases, please increase the supply pressure accordingly.
▶ Floating Material Recovery Skimmer
The skimmer draws in floating material while maintaining a constant liquid level using a float ball.
If large chips or debris are sucked in, they will accumulate inside, please inspect and clean as needed.
Do not glue or fix the threaded section between the hose nipple and the unit; allow it to remain loose to ensure proper operation.
