Star Africa offers the Markleen Operating Principle Multiskimmer, which are compact, lightweight units used for recovering Multiskimmers operate based on the all types of oil. Diesel oil, grease and well-proven oleophilic (oil attracting) emulsions are quickly and efficiently properties of some materials and recovered with a minimum of water recover light oils through to heavy content. All components used in crude.Markleen MultiSkimmers are robust and water and oil resistant .

Depending on the viscosity of the substance to be recovered, standard rotating brush Markleen Multiskimmer may be converted to drum or disc skimmers in just a few minutes and without the use of tools. Thus the Markleen Multiskimmer offers the advantages of having three skimmers in one.
