Processing Principle: The cuttings dryer uses centrifugal force to separate solids and liquids. Drilling chips enter through the feed port, are dispersed by distribution plates, and enter the interior. Under centrifugal force, liquid and small solid particles pass through the screen basket, while larger solids are retained and scraped off by rotor scrapers for discharge.
Cuttings Dryer Detailed Overview
The drill chip spin dryer utilizes the principle of centrifugal separation to efficiently separate solids and liquids from drilling cuttings. Based on customer requirements for particle size separation, different gap sieve baskets can be selected for optimal performance.
Processing Workflow: Drilling chips enter through the feeding port, are dispersed by distribution plates, and enter the interior of the cuttings dryer. Under centrifugal force, liquid phase and solid particles smaller than the sieve basket gap flow through into the outlet ring and are discharged. Larger solids are scraped off by rotor scrapers and pushed to the discharge point.

Customer Testimonials
What our clients say about our cuttings dryer solutions
We've been using the APVCD930 cuttings dryer for over 18 months in our offshore operations. The adjustable screen baskets allow us to optimize separation for different drilling conditions, and the maintenance has been minimal.
The compact design fits perfectly in our limited space on the drilling platform. The 40 m³/h capacity handles our peak drilling periods without issues, and the recovered drilling fluid has significantly reduced our operating costs.
AIPU's VFD model gives us precise control over separation efficiency. We can adjust the speed based on the specific cuttings characteristics, which has improved our overall processing efficiency by approximately 30%.
