New Sludge Screw Conveyor(Auger Feeder) For Drilling Mud Waste
Transport
Description of APLS auger feeder/ screw conveyor
APLS Auger feeder/ Screw conveyor is popular in the oil gas
industry for transferring the drilling cuttings to feed to the
cuttings dryer, and cuttings collection box. It's a combination of
motor and gearbox, the screw blade, and the U shape or circular
channel. A U-shaped screw conveyor is a type of screw conveyor. The
production is manufactured according to the DIN15261-1986 standard,
and the design conforms to the professional standard of JB /
T7679-2008 "Screw Conveyor". U-shaped screw conveyor is widely used
in food, chemical, building materials, metallurgy, mining, electric
power, and other departments, mainly used for conveying small
granular, powdery, small lump materials. It is not suitable for
conveying materials that are easy to deteriorate, have a high
viscosity and easy to agglomerate, and have large water content.
The auger feeder is another reference to the screw conveyor. There
are fixed speed and VFD ones. For the design, there are horizontal
with 0° incline or a certain angle according to clients'
requirements. The difference will be the leg height at the ends.

AIPU Solids Control makes screw conveyors with auger diameters
varying from 10 inches to 18 inches (10 inches, 12 inches, 14
inches, 16 inches, and 18 inches). And the screw conveyor length
can vary from 12 ft to 48ft (12 ft, 24 ft, 36 ft, and 48 ft) as the
standard model. Each auger is combined with a standard length of
12ft per section. For other customized diameters and transfer
lengths, clients can contact GN Solids Control for customization.
As screw conveyor is rotation equipment, there must be necessary
safety protections to meet HSE standards and to protect job site
operators.
Firstly, the top of the screw conveyor will be covered and sealed
by a metal plate or by gratings. On the one hand, it can prevent
big matters fall down inside the screw conveyor which may break the
auger impellers. Secondly, it can protect people's figures or feet
from touching the screw conveyor while the auger rotating.
Secondly, AIPU Solids Control can equip Safety Grab Wires all long
the auger length and ESD Devices (emergency stop devices) to start
and stop the control panel in case of emergency.
AIPU Solids Contol can offer an Audio/visual alarm system on the
auger control panel which will be automatically activated once the
power is switched on followed by the actual auger startup with a
safety delay time. Audio / visual alarm system to be in the OFF
mode after some time once the auger starts operation.
What is the structure of the auger feeder?
It includes but is not limited to the following items. The motor,
the gearbox, the coupling, the channel, the impeller or blade, the
grade or sheet cover, the support leg, or the frame. If necessary,
there is a control panel.
Some clients need the screw conveyor to perform at variable
frequencies. The VFD can be achieved by the control panel, and also
can be achieved in a mechanical way. Based on different clients'
preferences, there are horizontal direction gearbox and vertical
direction gearbox. The gearbox can be the helical bevel or the
helical worm and wheel type.
we want to introduce a kind of equipment connected solid control
system and waste management system. It is a screw conveyor, or name
it auger. It is utilized to transfer solid waste or slurry from the
solids control system (including shale shaker, mud cleaner, or
centrifuge) to drilling waste systems for further treatment.
Why do we need the auger feeder?
The drilling cuttings waste or the drilling fluids disposal
discharged from solids control equipment need to be treated for the
further drying process. The screw conveyor will help to transfer
the disposal to a certain pit, cuttings dryer, or the filter press
machine. For example, the auger feeder is set beside the tank and
below the shaker discharge end. The auger feeder inlet position or
channel beginning part can be fitted with a hopper in parallel to
the discharge slide channel
Auger Feeder / Screw conveyor can help us get a convenient transfer
drilling cutting and waste between equipment to further treatment
center for the drilling waste. The auger feeder is not only used in
oilfield waste management but also in other applications. Such as
the chemical industry, construction industry, food industry, mining
industry, and so on. The angle of the conveyor is customizable for
the different work sites. For cuttings transfer, we usually use U
type conveyor and a round tube-type conveyor.
Why use the APLS Auger feeder/screw conveyor?
As a professional manufacturer of solids control, we know better
about the job site. We know how to design and configure an auger
feeder is more convenient for users' operations. And from the raw
material of steel to the different standard components (motors,
gearbox) we select the high quality and excellent performance
