Abstract
A device for separating, in an ice environment, fluids having differing physical properties which combine an oleophilic pick-up device with a rotating tumbler mechanism which tends to agitate and propel oil coated pieces of ice rearward and along a perforated inclined through-put barrier where oil jarred off the ice chunks is allowed to rise through the perforations and be contained in an area where it can be accumulated and recovered by the pick-up unit.
