API Certified Vertical Cutting Dryer for Drilling Mud Waste Management – Efficient, Environmental, High Recovery
TRCD Series Vertical Cutting Dryer is an advanced solution for oilfield drilling waste treatment. It plays a key role in reducing oil content in drilling cuttings, improving waste recovery, and protecting the environment. As an essential component in modern solids control and drilling waste management systems, this equipment is widely used for handling oil-based and synthetic-based drilling fluids.
Our vertical dryer utilizes centrifugal force to separate liquids from solid cuttings. Through high-speed rotation (up to 900 RPM), it generates G-forces of up to 420G, allowing efficient removal of residual fluids. In the VFD version, speed can be adjusted up to 1200 RPM with G-force reaching 750G, adapting to various waste conditions.
Key Benefits
✅ Eco-Friendly: Reduces oil content (OOC) in cuttings to below 5%, even <3% after fine-tuning, compliant with international environmental discharge standards.
✅ High Efficiency: Handles 30–50 tons/hour, ensuring fast throughput in large-scale drilling operations.
✅ High Recovery Rate: Effectively recycles synthetic and oil-based muds, minimizing resource loss and overall waste volume.
✅ Long Service Life: Equipped with wear-resistant components including high chromium cast iron scrapers and stainless steel screen baskets, extending operational lifespan.
