This unit provides a continuous belt and wiper to remove up to 40 gallons of oil per hour from the fluid surface and a 12-V motor powers the compact, self-contained unit. That motor runs off a deep-cycle battery, which in turn is recharged by an adjustable solar panel in only a couple of hours. Using an upper and lower pulley system, the belt runs through contaminated liquid to pick up oil from the surface.
