GN’s cutting dryer attracted a lot of attention in the OTC 2017 and is widely used by more and more customers

As the oil and gas exploration and production technology is improving day by day, the traditional mud recycling system is gradually replaced by automatic, systematic and close-looped mud recycling system. Cutting dryers is more and more used together with the solid control system in the drilling rigs to meet the critical environmental requirement. The cutting dryer can meet the environmental requirement and recover and recycle more material for reuse.


Among all of GN’s products, one of them is the star product, that is cutting dryer. No matter in the flow line for solid control or for waste management, it has shown great performance. There are two types of cutting dryer, fixed speed and VFD. GN can manufacture them according to different customer’s requirements and save money for customers. The screen bowl’s maximum diameter is 930mm. And there are three different kind of screens for your choice, 250 micron, 350 micron and 500 micron. The handling capacity is 30 to 50 tons per hour. Tungsten carbide protect the flights on the rotor from abrasive solids and ensure longer operation life. The special design of high pressure air knife can clean the basket screen automatically and easily, and avoid the screen to be blinded by the viscosity mud and water based mud. The flushing system with specially designed nozzles around the body of cutting dryer can avoid the liquid discharge channel being blocked by sediments. The lubrication system is electrically interlocked with the main motor starter to prevent machine operation in the event of low or no oil pressure to the gearbox. The VFD control panel can facilitate soft starting, fingertip control of the VFD system can change the motor speed and thus the G force can be changed to the working conditions. The VFD system is made by ABB or SIEMENS and it is explosive proof.

2 Sets of oil based drilling cutting management system sold to South Africa

Recently when the oil and gas market starts picking up, GN Solids Control also received a good order from an existing customer from South Africa, the 2 sets of drilling cutting management system. The 2 sets of cutting management system have been finished and shipped to South Africa, we believe soon it will be another successful project case for GN.


The oil based drilling cutting management system mainly consists of the following 3 solid control equipment: the cutting dryer, High-G shale shaker and the decanter centrifuge which are also the 3 core products for GN Solids Control. These 3 products are most popular among customers and contribute a lot of sales revenue to the company. The cutting dryer 930 series has the feature of fixed speed of 900RPM to product 750 G for the cutting separation. This feature can make the cutting drier and meet the operator’s requirement. It also has some safety and pretention feature. The oil circulation system will be able to protect the bearing while rotating the shaft. And without running the oil pump for a while, usually for 1 minute, the operator can’t start the main motor. This feature will protect the damage to the equipment and save money for maintenance. The high G shale shaker has also got some upgraded feature, GN’s engineer has widened the shaker deck width for easier collection of the drilling cuttings from the cutting dryer. This will also make the work more  effectively and efficiently. There are 3 options for the decanter centrifuge size choose, 14, 18 and 22 inches. After the separation from the cutting dryer and High-G shaker, the decanter centrifuge will have even finer result to the separation. It can achieve 2-5 microns, which will make the discharge meeting the environmental requirement.

Tips for quickly selecting the right GN’s shaker screen

As the leading manufacturer in the solids control business, GN’s product range covers from shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, mud cleaner, cutting dryer, various kinds of pumps and so on.


Among GN’s all products, the first time customer may feel confused and don’t know how to quickly select the products they need. Today, we will introduce the method on how to quickly and effectively choose the right shaker screen for your projects. Now GN can manufacture both its own  OEM shaker screen or the replacement screens for some other famous manufacturers, like DERRICK, MI SWACO or NOV BRANDT. For GN’s own OEM screens, they can be used on its three types of shale shakers and mud cleaners, such as GNZS703, GNZS594, GNZS752 and GNZJ703, GNZJ594, GNZJ752.  So when you start to order screens, whether it is GN’s OEM or the replacement screens, you need to let us know the following info: let us know the shaker brand and model to decide the dimension and design of the screen. If you can’t supply that, we will need detailed drawings with dimension, photos or even screen samples.  We can do both the framed screen or strip hooked screen, for the framed screen, you will need to let us know you need the composite or metal frame. Now we suggest our customers using the composite instead of the metal frame, cause it’s more endurable, corrosion resistant, greater non-blank area and lighter. Now GN’s number 2 factory has been into production which can manufacture 5000 pieces of screens per month. So there is no problem for delivery. For the strip hooked screens, especially for replacement DERRICK screen, you need to let us know you need the pyramid or flat surface screen. And for the screen you need, you’d better give us the API number or the ASTM or ISO standard mesh number or the cut point. And last but not least, you need to let us know the quantity for each API number, the destination, the delivery time, if there are some special needs for labels or package.
