250 m³/H (Desanders+Desilter) Dual Stage Particle Slurry Screen

Desanders are used to separate sand and other particles from drilling muds. During drilling and excavation operations, drilling mud (bentonite) mixes with contaminating substances such as sand and clay. After the drilling process is completed, the drilling mud should be processed and cleaned by separating these substances from the mixture. This way, clean mud can be used for the next operation and the drilling mud becomes ready for cementing.

The first process takes place on a steel plate screen where 8 mm materials are separated. The second process occurs by pumping the mud into the hydrocyclone. Here, 50 micron particles are separated.

SKC Machinery produces three types of sand separators named SKD2200, SKD4400, and SKD840 according to their capacities.
SKC Machinery also manufactures dual cyclone sand separators called SKD 4400D as desilter sand separators. The first cycloning is the same as the first and second processes of the desander. In this process, 50 micron particles are separated. Mud is pumped to small hydrocyclones for the second cycloning. After this process, the separation will be 20-30 microns.
