Advanced solids control solution for ultra-fine particle separation and drilling fluid conditioning
A decanter centrifuge is a high-speed rotating machine that uses centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids in drilling fluids. It's the final and most precise stage in the solids control process, capable of removing particles as small as 2-7 microns.
JKZ centrifuges are designed with robust construction and advanced features to handle the most demanding drilling applications.
Effectively removes particles in the 2-7 micron range
Generates up to 3000×g for superior separation
Adjustable bowl and conveyor speeds
Maintains ideal mud weight and viscosity
How decanter centrifuges separate solids and liquids in drilling fluids
JKZ decanter centrifuges utilize high-speed rotation to create powerful centrifugal forces that separate solids from liquids based on density differences.
Drilling fluid is pumped into the rotating bowl through a stationary feed tube.
The fluid accelerates to bowl speed, creating a liquid pool where centrifugal forces separate solids from liquid.
A helical conveyor moves separated solids toward the discharge ports.
Cleaned liquid flows over weirs while dewatered solids discharge from the other end.
