Mud cleaner is the second class and the third class solids control equipment which is the newest type to treat the drilling fluids. At the same time mud cleaner has the higher cleaning function compared with separated desander and desilter. In addition to the reasonable design process, it equals another shale shaker. KOSUN Mud Cleaner's structure is compact, it occupys small space and the function is powerful. Mud cleaner is the ideal device of the second class and the third class solids control equipment to treat the drilling mud in a solids control system.
KOSUN's compact, multi-functional drilling mud cleaners are designed to be combined with desander, desilter and an underflow shale shaker. The equipment in multi-functional feature allows the operator to handle varying drilling fluid viscosity and solids content with the same unit.
The mud cleaners are given a three-part coatings to maximize equipment life. Spare parts and consumables have been designed to ensure the lowest replacement cost & long-term product durability. The numbers of hydrocyclone device decided the productivity, and rotary flow quantity.
The feed slurry of solids and liquid is fed through the inlet at a high velocity obtained by steady pressure of twenty-five. The high velocity transmitted to the feed section creates a spinning velocity and resorting centrifugal forces. The vortex finder causes the stream to spire downward towards the hydro cyclone wall, in a downward spiraling stream.
The solids separate according to size and weight particles. In the density range of particles in drilling fluids, size is of far more influence than the variations in density so that basically the biggest particles settle first and fastest.
The cone section narrows, inner layer of the downward spinning liquid turn back toward the overflow because of the increasing centrifugal forces near the center.
