What is a centrifuge?

Drilling mud centrifuges are typically horizontal spiral sedimentation centrifuges.They are primarily used to process solid-phase particles ranging from 2 to 7 microns in drilling fluids. These centrifuges are also used to recover valuable materials, such as barite, from drilling wells.The centrifuge serves as the final stage of processing equipment in the solid control system.

Decanting centrifuge

Centrifuges play a significant role in the non-weighted mud system.They can effectively separate solid-phase particles larger than 2 microns, addressing the issue of ultrafine and hazardous solids that cannot be separated by desanding and desilting cyclones.The centrifuge can rapidly restore the specific gravity and other properties of the drilling fluid, providing a reliable safety assurance for efficient and scientific drilling. In weighted drilling fluids, centrifuges are primarily used to regulate viscosity and separate ultra-fine particles of the solid phase and colloid.

The centrifuges manufactured by AIPU are classified as APLW centrifuges and APFDH fully hydraulic centrifuges.

Advantages of APLW centrifuges

• High quality stainless steel raw materials
• Advanced Dynamic Balancing Inspection
• Wear protection treatment for spiral blades
• Convenient and reliable operational performance
• Easy maintenance with fewer wear parts

Full hydraulic decanter centrifuge

AIPU has developed fully hydraulic-driven decanter centrifuges in cooperation with renowned brands of hydraulic drive systems to meet the requirements of domestic and international customers.The hydraulic drive system for the decanter centrifuge rotor and propeller is powered by an electric motor that drives an oil pump, creating two oil circuits to operate the hydraulic differential. The biggest advantage of the fully hydraulic drive centrifuge is its ability to separate heavy slurries in high temperature environments. The compact single skid structure of the fully hydraulic decanter centrifuge makes it easier to operate and install.

Decanter centrifuge is common in solids control is mainly to process particles ranged 2~7 microns. Aipu solids control now provide a new decanter centrifuge in stock. Please find more detail information as below

Decanter centrifuge information

Decanter centrifuges also referred to decanting centrifuge or centrifuge decanter. In drilling mud process for oil & gas drilling there are middle speed centrifuge and high speed centrifuge. They can be designed as fixed frequency and variable frequency centrifuge.

Decanter centrifuge in stock

This centrifuge in stock is high speed one. Model number is GLW355X1258 with 3200rpm speed and 35m³/h capacity. The bowl diameter is 355mm, while length is 1258mm. The minimum separation point is 2 micron and its separation factor is 2035G

Centrifuge main motor is 30kw (40hp), accessory motor is 7.5kw. This centrifuge in stock is fixed frequency one. Upon clients' demand we can configure the VFD panel for it. Then the speed will be 0~3200rpm and VFD will lead better protection on motor as well as whole centrifuge

Centrifuge price and delivery

This decanter centrifuge in stock can be delivered in 3 days against confirmation. We need to do some surface process for better appearance. It's the centrifuge shown at CIPPE so there is some paint pilled off during transportation. Complete centrifuge will be fit with control panel. Price is USD38000FOB Xingang,China or FOB Xi'an,China.

If we request VFD control panel, the price will be USD40000 under same price term. Upon users' demand we can provide screw pump or submersible pump as feeding pump. The brands and types are optional. But the lead time may be different with quoted one and depends on certain brand pump

Why select Aipu decanter centrifuge?

All raw materials are high quality. Such as the screw conveyor, bowl, the support frame, the surface paint, the motor, the control panel, etc. This centrifuge is rather popular model with long drum and sufficient capacity

It's in stock now. Usually, finish one set centrifuge may take 30 days. But now, only in 1 week we'll get it ready and make it arrive at port. For other requirements or options we'll give you optimal solution soonest.

Finally, our aftermarket will definitely satisfy you on soon response as 7x24 technique support. The centrifuge is rather mature to save more cost on wearing parts as well as maintenance
