Li’l Gusher Belt Oil Skimmer

Li’l Gusher Belt Oil Skimmer (Pat. Pending) is an accumulation of years of designing, engineering, and testing to come up with the very best features available in an oil skimmer.

With over 35 years in the machining industry, we have bought and used every type of oil skimmer there is to be had. From the least expensive to the most expensive, we have been disappointed with every purchase, either from the quality, it’s oil recovery abilities or the outlandish pricing for sub-par performance.

At the end of the day, you want to feel like you spent your money wisely, and by wisely we mean an investment in an oil skimmer that will last you a lifetime and perform flawlessly through the years, and if not, a warranty that will stand behind the product for the lifetime of the original owner, no questions asked. We guarantee that you will be “Gushing” with excitement that for once, you finally got your monies worth.

We have engineered and designed the Li’l Gusher line of Belt Oil Skimmers with the latest in technology. The entire unit is 100% machined from solid bar stock, no castings anywhere. Every machined component is made in-house, which allows us to control costing and quality throughout the process. We have utilized technologically advanced bearings designed and engineered in Germany on all rotating bearing shafts. The bearings provide decades of use while being subjected to the environment of water and cutting fluids that an oil skimmer is subjected to every day.

All shafts, keepers, and fasteners are all stainless steel, eliminating any potential oxidation. All of the 6061-T6 aluminum machined components are 100% anodized, thereby eliminating any potential for corrosion due to electrolysis and/or galvanic corrosion, both usually present in machine coolant tanks.

By examining and critiquing all of the oil skimmers we have used over decades of machining, we have incorporated the best features, eliminated the worst and re-engineered the things that needed to be addressed differently, to bring a simple, effective and ever-lasting product to the market.

We have been machining components in the Aerospace, Defence, Deep Oil Rigs, Medical and Small Arms field for over 35 years. We also build every day the most accurate rifle scope mounting hardware in the world. We know precision and we know quality, and so each and every Li’l Gusher Belt Oil Skimmer that goes out our door has decades of real-world engineering, design, and quality behind it.

Had these past experiences?

1. Did motor fail due to overheating?
2. Power cord heated up, shorted and melted creating a dangerous situation?
3. Aluminum housing and components not anodized, causing corrosion?
4. Fasteners and components, not stainless steel, causing damaging corrosion?
5. Bearings corroded and seized upon the idler wheel?
6. Did moisture enter the motor housing causing electrical shorting and corrosion?
7. Skimmer trough wore out due to no anti-friction skimmer device for the belt wear?
8. Entire unit submerged in coolant corroded and was destroyed in coolant tank due to electrolysis?
9. Was your hard earned money spent on a disposable item with no lifetime warranty?

If any of these issues above you have experienced yourself, we guarantee you; it will be your last. We guarantee you will never have to replace your Belt Oil Skimmer again due to manufacturing defects or inferior quality parts. If for any reason your skimmer fails to perform as designed, other than the usual wear of the kevlar belt or the UHMW wear strip from normal usage, we will gladly repair or replace your skimmer for the lifetime of your purchase, no questions asked.*
