Screw Conveyor for Drill Solids Transfer
Screw conveyor is a typical machine in oilfield for drill solids or cuttings transport, it is designed for drilling waste transport from one point to another effective and safe. A scroll is installed in middle of screw conveyor tank, and rotated at speed of 60 / 72 RPM by a drive electrical motor. The drilling cuttings will be feed into the screw conveyor and drill waste will be transported along the rotating scroll and discharge at the end of screw conveyor. The scroll will be sealed inside by a hinged metal cover and bolted down for safety purpose.
The screw conveyor normally feed straight from the shale shaker at solids control system or decanter centrifuge from solids controls system, the first set of screw conveyor will be horizontal to pick up solids from several sets of drilling mud recycling machine. The drilling waste will be unloaded by means of a chute and will be reaches the end of screw conveyor. The large distance will be maneuvered it may be necessary to place several sections of screw conveyor join together to make it longer and meet distance requirement.
There is different size of diameter of screw conveyor; the client need choose suitable size of screw conveyor depending on drilling cuttings capacity and requirement. Other than screw conveyor , GN Solids Control supply a full line of drilling waste management equipment including vertical cuttings dryer , oilfield decanter centrifuge , screw pump , mud tank , design service for a whole drilling waste management , etc. .
The screw conveyor can be working continuously to feed drilling cuttings to vertical cuttings dryer or from vertical cuttings dryer, but the inconvenient is straight transfer and long distance on space need. Please contact GN Solids Control for a work proposal .
