Advantages of KOSUN Vertical Cutting Dryer

KOSUN Vertical Cutting Dryer is a innovative design which fit for Oil based drilling waste management.Drilling cuttings from the primary solids control equipments like shale shakers,mud cleaners which is picked up by Auger(Screw) conveyor and transfer to feeder of the vertical cutting dryer.

Function of vertical cutting dryer

The vertical cutting dryer is designed to reduce and recover base fluid from a variety of feed slurries. In drilling operations, typical solids control equipments discards 1- 4 barrels of liquid for each barrel of solids removed. The Vortex has proven to reduce this liquid to below 3% by weight.

The vertical cutting dryer can:

1)Reduce the amount of OBM or SBM on cuttings discharge to reduce waste volume and/or meet environmental objectives.

2)Recover valuable base fluids for re-use

3)Reduce fluid content prior to other treatment, thereby increasing process capacity .

The Vortex dryer helps you meet environmental objectives by reducing waste volume, maximizing liquid recovery, and reducing your project cost.

High-speed centrifuge for maximum in liquid/solid separation

The vertical cutting dryer incorporates a high-speed vertical centrifuge that achieves maximum liquid/solid separation in large-volume processing. This mechanism makes the VERTI-G dryer one of the industry’s best performing and most dependable cutting dryers. The VERTI-G dryer gives operators a critical advantage in meeting increasingly stringent environmental rules for cuttings disposal. The flow of cuttings into the VERTI-G dryer is PLC-controlled and continuously fed to yield optimum liquid/ solids separation. Once cuttings are introduced into the dryer’s charge hopper, widely spaced, independently adjustable flights continuously direct cuttings to the screen surface. Flights are tungsten carbide coated to reduce wear and ensure optimum tolerance.

The vertical cutting dryer is capable of processing over 50 tons per hour and can deliver dry solids under the most severe loading. vertical cutting dryer have seen duty on rigs where instantaneous drilling conditions have reached 300ft per hour and was able to process these rates comfortably. The vertical cutting dryer has been used on many types of fluids, including drilling fluids of both synthetic and diesel based mud. As with all liquid separation equipment, like shakers, centrifuges and dryers, viscosity will have an impact on performance.

KOSUN machinery can design and manufacture the complete line of drilling waste management system, including shale shaker, high mud cleaner, vertical cutting dryer, decanter centrifuge, shear pump, etc equipments.
