Mud Cleaner Detailed Overview

The AIPU Hunter Mud Cleaner is a highly efficient solids control equipment that combines the functions of a shale shaker and hydrocyclone desander/desilter. It effectively removes fine solids particles from drilling fluids, ensuring optimal drilling performance and fluid properties.

Primary Application: As essential equipment in drilling mud purification systems, it is widely used in oil and gas drilling operations, HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling), CBM (Coal Bed Methane) drilling, and environmental dredging projects.

Working Principle

The mud cleaner operates in two stages:

  • First Stage: The shale shaker removes larger solids particles through high-frequency vibration screening
  • Second Stage: Hydrocyclones separate finer solids (15-74 microns) through centrifugal force

This two-stage process ensures maximum solids removal efficiency while maintaining optimal drilling fluid properties.

Technical Advantages

  • Large Screen Area: Provides superior solids separation efficiency and higher processing capacity
  • High G-Force: Enhances separation performance for better solids removal from drilling fluids
  • Flexible Adjust Angle: Allows operators to optimize performance for different drilling conditions
  • Quick-Replace Shaker Screen: Minimizes downtime during maintenance and screen replacement
  • Less Spare Parts: Simplified design reduces maintenance requirements and operational costs
  • Premium Materials: High quality raw materials with heat treatment ensure durability and longevity
  • Corrosion Resistance: Wear and corrosion resistant coatings with stainless steel fasteners extend service life
  • High Cost-Efficiency: Superior performance and low maintenance deliver exceptional ROI

Applications & Performance Benefits

Performance Benefits:

  • Efficient solid-liquid separation reduces downstream waste processing
  • Minimizes overall treatment costs and mud loss, lowering total drilling expenses
  • Extends the life of downstream equipment by removing abrasive particles
  • Improves drilling efficiency by maintaining optimal fluid properties

The AIPU Hunter Mud Cleaner is engineered to withstand the harshest drilling environments while maintaining optimal performance. Our mud cleaners are designed with operator safety and ease of maintenance in mind, featuring quick-release mechanisms for screen changes and accessible service points for routine maintenance.
