Oil Skimmers, Inc. Solves Environmental Concerns For Heavy Equipment, Maintenance, and Washdown Facilities

Beckwith Machinery Company of Murraysville, Pennsylvania, is one of the largest Caterpillar dealers in America, with 11 sales, service and manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Beckwith's Cranberry, Pennsylvania facility also has a large rental business. When the machines are returned, many are loaded with mud, grease and oil. The mud can be removed simply by washing the machine, but the grease and oil are another matter. Federal and local Environmental Protection Agency regulations require that water returned to its original source be free of commercial contaminants. The dilemma facing Beckwith: how to economically remove grease and oil from the water used to clean equipment so it can be safely returned to the Cranberry Township sewer system. That's where the Oil Skimmers Inc.'s waste oil recovery system came in. The Oil Skimmer is designed to remove petroleum - based oils, animal and vegetable fats, greases and oil wastes floating on water.
