Zebra Z17 Muscle™ Flexor™ Intake Attachments
The Zebra Hammerhead™
Hammerhead™ – the skimmer attachment that gets to the oil layer! The Hammerhead™ removes tramp oils in hard-to-reach areas. The head floats on the surface allowing oil to flow into the openings. It fits into the tightest areas and can handle a very large flux. Not recommended for large fluid surface areas, heavy suspended chip loads, or with fluids where the introduction of air can be an issue.
- Fits in tight spots where others cannot
- Installs easily with no adjustments
- Floats on fluid surface where the tramp oil is
- Handles large fluid fluctuations
- Can be used with other brand coalescers
- 1 gpm flow rating
- Measures 4.5 x 3.25 x 1.75″ (11.4 x 8.3 x 4.5 cm)
The Zebra Recept™
Recept™ is the newest member of Zebra’s intake attachment family. It’s capable of handling large flux with a greater capacity for suspended chips, and preventing the introduction of air into the pump. It fits into moderately tight areas, but is not recommended for large surface areas or in heated solutions.
The Zebra Sumpster™
Sumpster™ – the skimmer attachments that gobble oil without chips!
- Galvanized steel construction resists rust
- Chip screen prevents clogging hoses
- Oil drawn over precision-formed hinge
- Skims without air- great for foaming coolants
- Temperature Rating: to 212°F (100°C)
Sumpster™ handles heavier suspended chip loads and harsher fluid environments, such as heat or chemicals. Sumpster™ can be positioned on its rod or attached to the tank wall. It also minimizes the amount of air introduced into the suction line. Disadvantages are that its flux handling capability is roughly 3 inches. Recommended when there is good sump or tank access and low flux.
Floating Sumpster™ handles large fluid surface areas, large fluid flux, and even turbulence. This device has all the benefits of Sumpster™ technology, plus the ability to handle more extreme environments. Floating Sumpster™ can be configured to carry a submersible pump, reducing the need for an external pump, when fluid lift is not an issue. It can also be attached to an external air pump when greater power is essential. There are stainless steel or plastic floats options.
