Drilling Waste Cuttings Transport Auger Feeder System

APLS Series Auger Feeders With Shaft Or Shaftless For Drilling Waste Cuttings Transport

Auger feeders are also referred to as screw conveyor feeders. Screw auger feeder is spiral bulk material transportation systems that convey raw ingredients to and from processing areas that are on different levels of a facility. These conveyors can horizontal transport materials, also it can be slanted at different angles to economically elevate and convey materials up and down floors. They require ample space and an increased amount of power to lift the material, depending on the steepness of the angle.

The feeder assembly consists of a motor, gearbox, and screw conveyor. The conveyor shape is similar to the centrifuge conveyor. Impellers welded together and/or on the central shaft. The conveyor is driven by a motor rotating at a certain speed. For example, some rotate 20 rpm, some turn 60 rpm. Different material and working conditions request different rotation speeds.

The auger feeder must be equipped with the cover. Some of the covers are plate or sheet connected with folding pin and mounted by bolts. Some covers are steel grating to help better observation and safe operation to avoid any people injury. Furthermore, the cover can be joint with the emergency stop switch to avoid any accident during auger feeders running.

Screw conveyors are usually fed by disposed of solids or waste from the solids control, and some sludge material to be processed. From a concentrated place to the feeders. Then the feeders can transfer materials to cuttings dryer, to other tanks or places for further handling. Auger feeder can transfer a mixture of solid and fluid, can transfer solid. Different feeder's size and length decide the handling capacity.

Furthermore, the rotation speed is another issue affecting the capacity of the feeder. If auger feeders were designed with the same diameter and length, more swift conveys leads to higher efficiency. That means in unit time the transfer quantity much larger. But of course, based on the rated and permitted handling rate under certain motor and mechanical design

The auger feeders can be used in drilling waste management, as well as the oil sludge treatment. No matter the onshore or offshore platform, the auger feeders will provide a convenient and effective transfer. Please find below specification for your reference

Yes. There are many options on the auger feeder configuration. Such as motor power, gearbox reduction ratio, the conveyor length, the shaft included in or not. The control panel and the electrical system, the colors, and so on. Please feel free to contact AIPU get your feeders solutions
