VC-1000 series vertical cuttings dryer (vertical centrifuge) produced by KOSUN is a type of vertical centrifuge, which can perform solid/liquid separation through centrifugal separation. The vertical cuttings dryer can effectively recover the liquid phase in drilling cuttings, making the solid phase become very dry. It is suitable for water-base mud, oil-base mud and synthetic base mud. By recovering the mud in drilling cuttings, the vertical cuttings dryer can reduce the drilling cost and cut down environmental pollution. With handling capacity of 40-60 T/h, the oil on cuttings (OOC) of drilling cuttings can be reduced to lower than 5% (w/w) after treatment, meeting the international emissions standards and environmental protection requirements. The vertical cuttings dryer can also be applicable for drilling waste management in onshore and offshore drilling.

Features and Benefits:

Environmental and cost
• Highly effective liquids/solids separation minimizes fluid content of cuttings
• Reduces waste-disposal volumes
• Effective separation reclaims high percentages of fluid that can be reused in the active mud system
• Recovers whole mud lost from shale shaker failure, rig motion and screen blinding, that is cost- effective.
Operational Advantages
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), with automatic warning indicators, monitors temperature, torque, oil flow and operating hours
• High-capacity, continuous feed units have the throughput to keep up with drilling
• Tungsten-carbide-coated, independently adjustable flights reduce wear and ensure optimal tolerance
• Handrail and walkways is convenient for operators to do routine maintenance work, that can reduce risk to personnel

  Different kinds of screens can meet various operation requirements
Ease of Maintenance
• Normal wear parts are easily accessible from the top of the unit; belts are easily
• changed without removing gear assembly
• Interchangeable tungsten carbide flights protect rotor and gear box from excessive erosion, minimizing main component failure
• Explosion-proof motors and control panels can be certified with CE/ATEX

Xi’an KOSUN Machinery Co., Ltd., integrating both domestic and foreign advanced solutions and experience in well drilling and completion waste management, has laid down an integrated solution for drilling waste treatment after repeated researches and experiments, which goes through four steps as reducing waste discharge at source, recycling wastewater, recovering drilling mud, reprocessing waste by means of four-stage solids control system before realizing zero discharge of waste, offering high-quality drilling waste treatment services for projects.
