Portable Skimming, Coalescing, Separation,
and Filtration Systems
The Ultimate Skimming Machine at a Fraction
of the Cost!
Zebra Snapdragon™ now with ADAPT™
Gravity Separates First
Current coalescing technology re-emulsifies
oils during the initial filtering process.
The Zebra Snapdragon™ with ADAPT™ (Advanced
Dual Action Pumping Technology, patent
pending) solves this problem. FIRST - it
removes the oils by gravity separation, THEN
- it removes small particles through
filtration for better parts quality. Zebra
Snapdragon™ is able to perform these
functions by utilizing both sides of its
diaphragm pump.
Faster Smoother Skimming
The Snapdragon™ ADAPT™ uses pulse dampening
technology (PDC) to smooth the fluid flow
coming into the skimming device. This not
only treats the oil gently, but it also
provides the fastest skimming rate possible.

Easy to Maintain
The Snapdragon™ ADAPT™ has been designed to
be easy to use, clean, and maintain. All
components can easily be inspected and
replaced, if necessary. Even the central
tank can be removed to be cleaned and
disinfected within minutes.
Towmotor Lift Wings
The Snapdragon™ ADAPT™ has also been
designed to be very maneuverable, with
towmotor lift wings, allowing for easy
storage and quick lifting to upper plant
levels or over conduit and floor
obstructions.

The Original Zebra Snapdragon™
Our Snapdragon™
Deluxe is a solid partner in keeping machine
sumps clean. For removing oils quickly, or
maintaining multiple sumps, the Deluxe has
satisfied many customers throughout the
world. It is the most economical unit when
ultrafiltration and pressurized coolant
return are necessary.

(A)
Skimming - Removing the surface
layer is critical to sump
performance. We offer the largest
selection of skimmer types and
configurations. We can continuously
skim from sumps that fluctuate more
than 10 feet.
(B) Prefiltering -
Prefiltering means protection for
the pump, without emulsifying the
oils in your coolant. We use filters
from 500µ down to 100µ in size. We
will help you choose the one that's
best for your needs.
(C) Pulse Dampening - This
Pulse Dampening Capsule (PDC) keeps
the impact of the diaphragm pump to
a minimum for a continuous flow of
separated tramp oils.
(D) Pump - Air-driven double
diaphragm pumps are standard.
Electric models are also available.
Pump life average of 7 to 10 years.
(E) Oil Separation Technology
- We use sophisticated separation
technology to remove oil droplets
from your coolant. Coalescing media
is standard inside the tank, but we
improve them with a Baffled Air
Turbulence System, removing
entrained air from the column before
the oil enters the main separation
tank. This improves separation
efficiency (when air is present) by
over 20%.
(F) Oil-Free Coolant Once
free of oil the coolant travels from
the tank to the left side of the
split double diaphragm pump, to be
delivered to (G) Ultrafiltration.
(G) Ultrafiltration - The
particle filtration stage located
under the left wing of the ADAPT™
takes the de-oiled coolant and
removes particles from 100µ to 5µ.
There is also a recirculation line
that keeps the pump from overfilling
the tank.
Clean Coolant Return - Once
the de-oiled coolant has been
filtered for particles, it is
returned under pressure to your sump
or other holding tank. The return
hose is crush and kink resistant
(not shown).
(H) Waste Oil Removal - Getting
the waste oil out of Snapdragon™ is
as easy as opening this valve. The
opaque tank shows the oil layer to
be drained.
Maintenance - We made the
Snapdragon™ System easy to assemble
and disassemble, to make sure it
will always be used by your team.
Empties in a minute, cleans in 15
minutes.
