Drilling Cuttings Industrial Screw Conveyor Equipment Unit For Waste Transfer System

LS screw conveyer has become one of the important equipment in the whole production process.Advanced structure, strong adaptability, small resistance, long life, easy maintenance,complete protection device is remarkable characteristic of the screw conveyer.This equipment is an important part of the mud non-landing (drilling waste management) system.

1. Drilling cuttings and waste solids enter the conveyor through the feed hopper
2. Rotating screw blade (auger) pushes material along the Ushaped trough
3. Material is conveyed horizontally or at an incline to the discharge point
4. Cuttings are delivered to vertical cuttings dryer, collection box, or container

• Conveyor length 12ft, 24ft, 36ft, 48ft, or custom
• Installation angle Horizontal or inclined (up to 40°)
• Drive type Fixed speed or VFD control
• Material Carbon steel / Stainless steel
• Cover type Protective grating or closed plate cover
• Electrical 380V/50Hz, 460V/60Hz, or custom

• Q1 What is a screw conveyor used for in drilling operations?
• A It is used to transfer drilling cuttings and waste solids from solids control equipment (shale shakers, mud cleaners, desanders, desilters, centrifuges) to downstream processing equipment such as vertical cuttings dryers or collection containers.
• Q2 What is the standard section length?
• A Each section is 12 feet (3.66m) standard length. Conveyors can be made with 1, 2, 3, 4, or more sections – 12ft, 24ft, 36ft, 48ft, or custom.
• Q3 Are sections interchangeable?
• A Yes. All sections are designed to be fully interchangeable – reducing spare parts inventory and simplifying maintenance.
• Q4 What materials are used for the screw flights?
• A The screw flights are made of wearresistant 16Mn manganese steel – which ensures longer service life in abrasive drilling cuttings service.
• Q5 Can the conveyor be installed at an angle?
• A Yes. It can be installed horizontally or inclined (up to 40°) . Telescopic brackets are available for angle adjustment.
• Q6 What safety features are included?
• A The conveyor is fitted with protective grating or closed plate cover to prevent foreign objects from entering and to protect operators.
• Q7 What are the power options?
• A Available in 380V/50Hz, 460V/60Hz, or custom. Fixed speed or VFD control options available.
• Q8 What is the typical capacity range?
• A From 15 to 55 tons/hour depending on screw diameter and length.
• Q9 Can it handle wet and sticky cuttings?
• A Yes. Our screw conveyors are designed to handle various types of drilling cuttings – including wet, sticky, and abrasive materials.
• Q10 What is the delivery lead time?
• A Standard models 4–6 weeks. Custom configurations may take slightly longer.
• Q11 How is it shipped?
• A Each section is packaged separately in export wooden crates or pallets – easy to handle and assemble on site.
• Q12 Is it certified?
• A Yes – API and ISO certified.
• Q13 Can the conveyor be customized?
• A Yes – any length, any diameter, any material – built to your site requirements.
• Q14 What maintenance is required?
• A Regular inspection of screw flights for wear, bearing lubrication, and checking seal rubber between sections.
• Q15 Do you provide spare parts?
• A Yes – replacement screw sections, flights, bearings, seals, and drive components are all available.
