Tubular screw conveyor and U-shaped screw conveyor are the main equipment for conveying drill cuttings in oilfield drilling. As the screw conveyor is a non-standard product, its length and shape can be customized according to the site conditions. Therefore, the specifications of the screw conveyor will vary depending on the industry, the site, and the material. Take the oilfield drilling site as an example. The screw conveyor on the oilfield drilling site is often used to transport drill cuttings. The waste drill cuttings processed by the drilling mud solids control equipment is conveyed to the mud non-grounding equipment through the screw conveyor for processing. There are U-shaped screw conveyors and tubular screw conveyors on site. Both conveyors have their own advantages and characteristics.
Comparison of characteristics of tubular screw conveyor and U-shaped screw conveyor
1. Compared with the U-shaped screw conveyor, the tubular screw conveyor has the advantages of large conveying elevation angle, up to 45 degrees; good sealing, preventing material leakage; higher integration, can be integrated into the equipment, saving equipment installation site. Easy installation and other features.
2. Compared with tubular screw conveyor, U-shaped screw conveyor has the characteristics of large conveying capacity and not easy to block.
