ZEBRA SKIMMERS

ZEBRA SKIMMERS CORP. manufactures oil skimming equipment and replacement components used to separate floating oil, grease, and hydrocarbons from water and water-based coolants in industrial settings. The product line centers on belt and tube skimmers, along with the consumable belts and tubes those units require. Belt-type skimmers use a polyurethane belt that passes through the liquid surface, attracting oil while repelling water, then is wiped clean to recover the oil. Tube-type skimmers use a polyvinyl or similar tube that performs the same function in configurations suited to tighter spaces or different tank geometries. The replacement components 3G Electric supplies include polyurethane belts in sizes such as 1 inch wide by 24.8 inches long (BP-08), 1 inch wide by 32.8 inches long (BP-12), and 1 inch wide by 56.8 inches long (BP-24), each matched to specific skimmer models. Tube replacements include polyvinyl tubes in lengths such as 8 inches (ZT8-08), 11 inches (ZT8-11), 14 inches (ZT8-14), and 20 inches (ZT8-20), as well as the ZXCART8-08 tube for the ZVA8-08 skimmer. These components are direct-fit replacements keyed to manufacturer model numbers, so matching the existing skimmer model to the correct belt or tube is the primary selection step. Applications for this equipment include machining and metalworking operations where coolant sumps accumulate tramp oil, parts washers where floating oil must be removed from wash water, industrial wastewater treatment where oil must be separated before discharge or further processing, and any sump or tank where a stable oil layer forms on the water surface. The skimming process is mechanical and continuous, which allows oil to be recovered while the system remains in service. 3G Electric supplies ZEBRA SKIMMERS belts and tubes as replacement parts, with part numbers and model compatibility listed at the line level so buyers can cross-reference against the skimmer already installed. Because these are wear components, specifying the correct length and material matters: polyurethane belts are used in the belt-drive skimmer models, while polyvinyl tubes are used in the tube skimmer models. The catalog entries identify the manufacturer part number, the compatible skimmer model, and the dimensions, which supports maintenance planning and spares stocking. 3G Electric ships these components globally and can quote against a bill of materials or a list of installed skimmer models.

Common Applications

  • Machining and metalworking — BP-08, BP-12, or BP-24 polyurethane belts for BPF1-series skimmers removing tramp oil from coolant sumps
  • Parts washing — ZT8-08 or ZT8-14 polyvinyl tubes for ZVA8-series skimmers separating floating oil from wash water
  • Industrial wastewater treatment — ZT8-20 tube for ZVA8-20 skimmer recovering oil from process water before discharge
  • Coolant tank maintenance — BP-24 belt for BPF1-24 skimmer on large sumps where continuous oil removal is required
  • Central coolant systems — ZXCART8-08 tube for ZVA8-08 skimmer in recirculating coolant loops with oil accumulation
  • Sump and tank oil recovery — ZT8-11 tube for skimmer units where an 11-inch tube length matches the installed configuration

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about ZEBRA SKIMMERS from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between the ZEBRA SKIMMERS polyurethane belts and the polyvinyl tubes?

The belts and tubes are consumable components for two different skimmer designs. Polyurethane belts, such as BP-08, BP-12, and BP-24, are used in belt-type skimmers like the BPF1-08, BPF1-08(E), and BPF1-24. The belt runs through the liquid, picks up floating oil, and is wiped clean. Polyvinyl tubes, such as ZT8-08, ZT8-11, ZT8-14, and ZT8-20, are used in tube-type skimmers like the ZVA8-08, ZVA8-14, and ZVA8-20. The tube attracts oil while repelling water. Selection depends on which skimmer model is installed, not on the oil being removed.

How do I identify the correct replacement belt for my ZEBRA SKIMMERS BPF1 skimmer?

Match the skimmer model number to the belt part number. The BPF1-08 and BPF1-08(E) use the BP-08 belt, which is 1 inch wide by 24.8 inches long. The BPF1-08 also uses the BP-12 belt, which is 1 inch wide by 32.8 inches long. The BPF1-24 uses the BP-24 belt, which is 1 inch wide by 56.8 inches long. Confirm the model number on the skimmer nameplate before ordering, since belt length and part number are tied to the specific model.

Which ZEBRA SKIMMERS tube fits the ZVA8-20 oil skimmer?

The ZVA8-20 uses the ZT8-20 tube, a polyvinyl tube 20 inches in length. The part number is ZT8-20. This is a direct-fit replacement for that skimmer model. Tube length corresponds to the model number suffix in most cases: ZVA8-08 uses an 8-inch tube, ZVA8-14 uses a 14-inch tube, and ZVA8-20 uses a 20-inch tube. Verify the model number on the unit before ordering.

What materials are ZEBRA SKIMMERS replacement belts and tubes made from?

The replacement belts are polyurethane. The replacement tubes are polyvinyl. These materials are selected for their oil-attracting and water-repelling behavior in the skimming process. Polyurethane is used in the belt-type skimmer design, where the belt runs over pulleys and through a wiper. Polyvinyl is used in the tube-type design. Both are wear components and are replaced periodically as part of normal skimmer maintenance.

In what applications are ZEBRA SKIMMERS oil skimmer belts and tubes used?

These components are used wherever a ZEBRA SKIMMERS belt or tube skimmer is installed to remove floating oil from water or water-based coolant. Common contexts include machining and metalworking coolant sumps, parts washers, and industrial wastewater systems where oil must be separated from water before discharge or reuse. The skimmer operates continuously while the system is running, so the belt or tube is a maintenance item rather than a one-time installation part.

Does 3G Electric supply ZEBRA SKIMMERS replacement parts outside Singapore?

Yes. 3G Electric supplies ZEBRA SKIMMERS belts and tubes globally. Orders can be quoted against specific manufacturer part numbers such as BP-08, BP-12, BP-24, ZT8-08, ZT8-11, ZT8-14, ZT8-20, or ZXCART8-08, or against a list of installed skimmer models. Because these are direct-fit replacement components, providing the skimmer model number and the required quantity is sufficient to identify the correct part.
