Machine Shop Receives Gift of Oil Skimmer

Blurry photo of the oil skimmer machine

OSU Alum Steve Davidian ('80), president of Zebra Skimmers  (http://www.zebraskimmers.com/), recently donated an oil skimmer to the Department’s Machine Shop in Smith Lab. 

This device, a model GSH4300, is used to extract oil from the coolant bath on our CNC machine tools. Seen in the picture is the rotating disk of the unit that attracts the oil and lifts it up and out of the coolant bath where it can be collected.  By extracting the oil, the service life of the coolant bath is extended. 

The Department expresses thanks to Mr. Davidian and Zebra Skimmers for their generosity.
