Drilling Fluid Handling Equipment
Vertical Cuttings Dryers
Vertical Cuttings Dryers for recovery of drilling fluid from oil- or synthetic-base cuttings before transport or downstream treatment. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feed and performance | Wet cuttings rate and recovery target | Fluid type, solids size and moisture | — | Provide representative cuttings data |
| Separation assembly | — | Basket size/opening and rotor speed | Feed, liquid and solids interfaces | Define downstream conveyors and tanks |
| Drive and safety | Power, torque and vibration limits | — | Controls, guards and hazardous area | Include wear and critical-spare package |
Product scope
Vertical Cuttings Dryers are presented as a quotation-ready equipment family for recovery of drilling fluid from oil- or synthetic-base cuttings before transport or downstream treatment. 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 wet cuttings feed rate, fluid system and oil-on-cuttings target, solids size distribution and moisture, screen basket size and opening, rotor speed, drive power, torque and vibration protection, feed conveyor interface, recovered-fluid outlet, dried-solids discharge, wash system, guarding, access, hazardous-area class, controls, skid load, lifting, wear liners, screen baskets and critical spares. 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 Vertical Cuttings Dryers?
Provide wet cuttings feed rate, fluid system and oil-on-cuttings target, solids size distribution and moisture, screen basket size and opening, rotor speed, drive power, torque and vibration protection, feed conveyor interface, recovered-fluid outlet, dried-solids discharge, wash system, guarding, access, hazardous-area class, controls, skid load, lifting, wear liners, screen baskets and critical spares, 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.
