Drilling Fluid Handling Equipment
Vacuum Cuttings Transfer Units
Vacuum Cuttings Transfer Units for enclosed pneumatic transfer of drill cuttings, slurries and recovered solids between collection, treatment and storage points. Review process duty, fluid properties, package interfaces, controls, testing and documentation before requesting a comparable quotation.
RFQ selection reference
Reference fields for quotation comparison. Final values must be confirmed in the signed manufacturer datasheet.
| Selection field | Typical input | Typical input | Typical input | Buyer note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Material and route | Transfer rate and batch size | Distance, lift, particle size and moisture | — | Attach route and elevation sketch |
| Vacuum package | Vacuum level, air demand and cycle | — | Receiver, filter and discharge arrangement | Define compressor or utility-air limits |
| Interfaces and wear | — | Hose/pipe, pickup and destination | Controls, grounding and hazardous area | Specify abrasion parts and cleaning method |
Product scope
Vacuum Cuttings Transfer Units are presented as a quotation-ready equipment family for enclosed pneumatic transfer of drill cuttings, slurries and recovered solids between collection, treatment and storage points. This page supports technical offer comparison; it does not promise one model, inventory position, process performance or certification. The selected manufacturer must confirm the complete duty against the drilling program, process data, interface drawings, governing standard editions and signed datasheet.
Selection basis
The main RFQ inputs are material type, bulk density, moisture and maximum particle size, required transfer rate and horizontal/vertical distance, pickup method, hose or pipe diameter, vacuum level, receiver capacity, discharge valve, air consumption and compressor interface, filter area and cleaning, noise limit, controls and interlocks, hazardous-area class, grounding, skid dimensions, lifting, hose package and abrasion-resistant wear parts. Fluid-handling equipment cannot be selected from a catalog photo or nominal connection alone. Provide normal, minimum, maximum and upset conditions, the fluid composition and solids data, operating schedule, utilities, control philosophy, available space and tie-in drawings. For replacement equipment, include maker, model, serial number, nameplate, performance history and measured interfaces.
Trade and industry context
The cited UN Comtrade record is a broad pump or processing-equipment export proxy used only to prioritize internationally traded product families. It is not an oilfield-only market size, a search-volume estimate or a shipment claim for this equipment. API references identify relevant system and documentation boundaries; they do not prove that an unnamed supplier is licensed, certified, authorized or holding stock.
Documents and inspection
Define signed datasheets, process calculations or performance curves, general arrangement and interface drawings, motor and hazardous-area data, material certificates, welding and NDE records where applicable, dimensional inspection, hydrostatic or functional testing, balancing and vibration records for rotating equipment, calibration certificates for instruments, certificate of conformity, manuals and recommended spares. Verify the actual manufacturer, facility, certificate scope and standard edition before order release.
RFQ checklist
- •Equipment family, quantity, operating mode and delivery target
- •Normal, rated and upset flow, pressure, head, vacuum or capacity
- •Fluid density, viscosity, solids, particle size, gas and temperature
- •Tank, pipe, skid, power, control and hazardous-area interfaces
- •Materials, corrosion, wear, inspection, testing and documentation
- •Destination, Incoterm, lifting, packing and transport constraints
- •Target unit or package price and acceptable technical alternatives
Upload the mud program, process datasheet, layout, piping schematic, utility schedule and project specification with the inquiry. Close every process, mechanical, electrical and certification deviation before comparing price or releasing the order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information is required to quote Vacuum Cuttings Transfer Units?
Provide material type, bulk density, moisture and maximum particle size, required transfer rate and horizontal/vertical distance, pickup method, hose or pipe diameter, vacuum level, receiver capacity, discharge valve, air consumption and compressor interface, filter area and cleaning, noise limit, controls and interlocks, hazardous-area class, grounding, skid dimensions, lifting, hose package and abrasion-resistant wear parts, quantity, destination, delivery target and required records. Attach the process datasheet, layout and existing-equipment details for replacement scope.
Are the displayed capacities or ratings guaranteed?
No. They are RFQ selection fields. The final signed datasheet, approved calculations, curves, interface drawings and test records control the ordered equipment.
How should equivalent equipment be compared?
Compare the same normal and upset duty, fluid properties, materials, interfaces, motor and hazardous-area data, controls, tests, documents, spares and all stated deviations before comparing price.
