Drilling mud, also called as drilling fluids, are serve to lubricate and cool the drill bit as well as convey the drilled cuttings away from the bore hole, and are the essential to drilling success. These fluids are a mixture of various chemicals in water or oil based solution, and the cost is very expensive. For both environmental reasons and to reduce the cost of drilling operations, which need recover more drilling mud from the drilled cuttings.

WEB WIRE MESH can offer two kinds of screen products:

Shale shaker screens

Shaker screens are widely used for drilling mud solids control of oil & gas well drilling. In a complete mud recycling system, shale shaker equipment is the first stage equipment for both solids control and mud cleaning, and also combination of desander and desilter as mud cleaner which is the second phase or the third phase solids control equipment. Using shale shaker screen, customers continuously recycle and re-use drilling fluid, while also controlling drilled solids, reduce waste discharged and environmental impact.

Wedge wire centrifuge baskets

Wedge wire centrifuge baskets used for vertical cuttings dryers, such as synthetic oil based drilling mud and diesel based mud. Synthetic oil based drilling mud is the most common types used in the offshore rigs.

During the drilling process, drill cuttings being discharged from the primary shakers are transferred to the inlet pipe and are fed by gravity to the distribution cone/support disc. A distribution cone removes the cuttings from the discharge end of the inlet pipe and accelerates and spreads them evenly onto the inner circumference of the conical wedge wire screen. The drill cuttings are retained on the inner circumference of the wedge wire basket by centrifugal force, and Linear Motion is induced axially onto the basket, conveying the retained drill cuttings to the discharge end of basket.
