A device for recover products floating on the water, in particular hydrocarbons

摘要

The invention concerns a device comprising at least a recuperating member (3) globally circular in shape whereof the active surface (6), that is its contact surface with the mass of water to be treated is wettable by the product to be recuperated. Said recuperating member (3) is mounted on a power-operated shaft (1) to be driven in rotation, the lower part of said recuperating member (3), beneath said power-operated shaft (1), being designed to be immersed in the mass of water to be treated, whereas its emerging upper part co-operates with a scraping member (5) associated with means for recuperating and storing (10) the recuperated product. The invention is characterised in that at least part of the active surface (6) of said recuperating member(s) (3) is/are spherical or spheroid in shape, the scraping member (5) consisting of a strip of material shaped to follow the curved outline of said active surface.
