Rotor assembly is the rotating part of vertical cuttings dryer. There are scrapers between the rotor and screens basket to help for solids removing. So the scrapers are wearing parts. Manufacturer will suggest to change the whole rotor assembly with a full set scrapers. Many customer cannot understand, why the rotors are not wearing parts, but have to change together with the scrapers?

The reason is that:

The scraper is with a curved surface. Although it is a precision casting, it has machining deviation. There are mounting holes on the scrapers after casting. The rotor is also a curved surface, and the rotor itself has no standard mounting holes for scrapers.
During assembly, put the scraper on the rotor to find the best place where the curved surface of rotor and scraper can touch well, and then drill holes on rotor for fixing. After 8 scrapers are fixed to the rotor, the whole unit will be machined and do dynamically balance. Because both precision casting and assembly have deviations. Therefore, the mounting hole positions on every rotor will be not the same. And the dynamic balance can only fit the original scrapers which delivered together from the factory. That’s why the scrapers and rotor must be replaced together.

If operators want to only replace the scrapers but use the old rotors, they will need to find a workshop with vertical lathe to machine the scrapers to ensure the equal gap between scrapers and basket. and make balancing for the whole unit.

The method of using flat washers to adjust the gap between screen and rotor may solve the problem of installation. But the gap between screen and rotor maybe not equal. Do balancing will be another challenging.

It is high speed rotating equipment. If the rotor assembly is not in balance. It will cause abnormal vibration, it may damage the machine, or even cause dangerous.

GN Solids Control makes vertical cuttings dryer to treat oil base mud cuttings discharged from shale shaker. The fine soil discharged from decanter centrifuge cannot be treated by vertical cuttings dryer. As the screen opening of vertical cuttings dryer is 0.25mm, 0.35mm and 0.5mm. But decanter centrifuge cut points is 2 ~ 5 microns. It is used to remove very fine solids. The screen opening is vertical cuttings dryer is too big to the decanter centrifuge soil.

GN Solids Control can offer full package vertical cuttings dryer together with electrical control panel, telescopic skid and Cantilever crane system for screens changing.
1) GN Solids Control equips an adjustable Cantilever crane with 0.5T Hand chain hoist for vertical cuttings dryer screen changing.
2) The vertical cuttings dryer skid designed by GN Solids Control can be adjustable to lower down for transportation, and it is also it’s easily Rotatable. GN Solids Control design vertical cuttings dryer skid is heavy duty. It is to make it more reliable and easy for operation. It is complete with walkway, handrails, stairs and connections between the vertical cuttings dryer and flush pump.
3) GN Solids Control can also equip a small vibration motor system under the vertical cuttings dryer skid to help for the solids discharge. Mostly GN Solids Control does not equip the vibrator motor system. As the solids discharged from vertical cuttings dryer is with very lower liquid, it is very dry, like powders. It is optional function. GN Solids Control can offer the vibrator motor system in case clients want it.
After the vertical cuttings dryer, GN Solids Control can offer high speed decanter centrifuge with telescopic skid or catch tank, and feeding pump for the centrifuge.

Furthermore, GN Solids Control can offer screw conveyer system under the solids control shale shakers to collect drilling cuttings and transfer to vertical cuttings dryer for separation. GN Solids Control can also offer screw conveyor auger system to transfer the dry cuttings discharged from the package.

The equipment and system used together with the drilling rig to clean and recycling drilling mud is caused as drilling fluids solids control equipment and solids control mud system. Its principle is liquid and solids separation.

During the drilling process, the dirty drilling fluid exits the wellbore through a flow line and be charging to the solids handling equipment for solids control. After removing the unqualified bigger size particles, the mud is cleaned and fed into the wellbore via the suction tank through high pressure mud pumps. The equipment is arranged in the right way to remove successively smaller particles during its processing.
A full function drilling fluids handling system will including below tank unit:

1) Firstly, there will be a trip tank section, it is an associated system for gauging pipe displacement during tripping operations. It is normally equipment with a small power trip pump, an mud agitator, and a small volume tank less than 10 cbm.

2) The shale shaker tank / separation tank section is the major part of the mud processing system. The tank(s) and associated relative equipment is used to remove useless solids and recovery useful drilling fluid from the handling process.

3) Discharge tank unit, the tank(s) or pit(s) and equipment located at the well site used to store and process drilling fluid and cuttings for disposal.

4) Reserve tank unit, the tank(s) or pit(s) and associated equipment used to isolate drilling fluid from the active system. The mud mixing system is normally equipment on/together with a reserve tank, and it is qualified to mixing to any of the clean mud tank compartment.

5) Suction tank unit, it is the tank(s) from which the high pressure mud pumps take suction, and any associated pumps or mixing equipment.

The popular solids control and handle equipment are as following:

1) Shale shaker is the most popular and widely used equipment for drilling fluids liquid and solids separation.

2) Mud cleaner, desander and desilter. They are the 2nd and the 3rd stage solids control equipment after shale shaker separation.

3) Decanter centrifuge is the 4th stage solids control equipment for barite recovery or fine solids separation to reduce the mud weight.

4) Degasser device (vacuum degasser or centrifugal degasser) is used after shale shaker but before hydra cyclone separation.

5) Jet mud mixing system is combined of mixing hopper and mixing pump. It is used to prepare qualified drilling fluids for the rig mud system.
