At GN Solids Control, we understand the challenges faced by the international core drilling industry, where efficient solid-liquid separation is paramount. Recently, we successfully delivered two of our most reliable models, the GNZS752 Mini Shale Shaker and the GNLW223 Decanter Centrifuge, to a core drilling customer overseas. These models, specifically designed for handling core drilling fluid and solids separation, are proving to be a game-changer for this sector, ensuring optimal performance and minimal footprint.
Meeting Core Drilling Challenges with the GNZS752 Mini Shale Shaker
In core drilling applications, fluid management plays a crucial role in improving drilling efficiency and prolonging equipment life. One of the core pieces of equipment we provided is the GNZS752 Mini Shale Shaker, a versatile and compact unit specifically designed to cater to the needs of core drilling clients.
Key Features of the GNZS752 Shale Shaker:
Compact Size: With limited space often available on core drilling sites, the GNZS752 is specifically engineered with a small footprint, allowing it to fit seamlessly into confined workspaces.
High Efficiency: The shaker uses two high-quality vibrating motors to generate robust linear motion, efficiently removing larger solids from drilling fluid and ensuring smooth operations.
Simple Maintenance: We know that core drilling sites are often remote, making low-maintenance equipment essential. The GNZS752’s design focuses on easy component access and minimal maintenance needs, reducing downtime and operational interruptions.
Durable Construction: Built with stainless steel and anti-corrosion materials, the shaker can withstand harsh drilling environments, ensuring long service life and consistent performance.
The GNZS752 Mini Shale Shaker can be used independently or as the first stage in a multi-tier solids control system, efficiently removing coarse particles and preparing the fluid for further processing by downstream equipment.
GNLW223 Decanter Centrifuge: Precision in Solids-Liquid Separation
Following the shale shaker, the GNLW223 Decanter Centrifuge handles the fine solids removal with exceptional precision, maintaining optimal drilling fluid quality in challenging core drilling operations. This decanter centrifuge is ideal for compact drilling setups due to its small size and high efficiency, which is tailored to core drilling requirements.
Highlights of the GNLW223 Decanter Centrifuge:
High G-Force Separation: Capable of reaching high G-forces, the GNLW223 effectively separates fine particles, typically smaller than 5 microns, from drilling fluid. This is critical for maintaining the quality and consistency of the drilling fluid.
Energy Efficient: The centrifuge’s design maximizes efficiency, using advanced engineering to reduce energy consumption while maintaining high throughput, which is especially important in remote core drilling locations where power supply may be limited.
Durable Bowl and Scroll: Constructed with wear-resistant materials, including a stainless-steel bowl and ceramic scroll tips, this model is designed for durability under harsh conditions.
Adaptability and Control: With variable frequency drives, the GNLW223 offers flexible operating speeds, allowing operators to adjust the rotation speed and achieve the desired separation performance based on changing fluid properties.
