ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for removing floatable material from the surface of a carrier fluid including a hollow receptacle having a continuous side wall and a bottom having an opening centrally located therein. A pump is mounted within the hollow receptacle such that the pump inlet is positioned over the receptacle bottom opening and the pump outlet is connected to an exhaust conduit line mounted in the side wall and extending outwardly therefrom to a container or sump. The receptacle is positioned such that the top rim of the side receptacle wall rides at the surface of the carrier fluid so that floatable material, solid or liquid, is transferred over the rim into the receptacle and for solid materials, an opening is provided in the receptacle bottom for flowing upwardly into the receptacle to combine with the skimmed solid floatable substance for pumping outwardly of the receptacle through the exhaust conduit line.
