Screw conveyors commonly transport drill cuttings and accompanying fluids, collecting drill cuttings (often relatively dry oil-based cuttings) from various solids control equipment and conveying them to the well site area where operators install load-bearing cuttings boxes.
Features of Screw Conveyors:
The head and tail bearings are located outside the housing. The shaft adopts an interchangeable structure of rolling and sliding bearings and includes a dustproof sealing device. The seals have good sealing performance, strong wear resistance, low resistance, and long service life.
A cleaning device is provided at the discharge end. The machine has low noise, strong adaptability, and is easy to operate and maintain.
The conveying trough includes a steam heating device, which allows operators to use it in working environments ranging from -40°C to 60°C.
We install the conveying trough on a dedicated base, which enables conveying operations at a certain height. You can also install two units together. The multi-stage conveyor can rotate on a horizontal plane, adjusting and expanding the conveying range, and achieving long-distance conveying.

Applications and Effects
Screw conveyors, also known as screw feeders, play a key role in drill cuttings processing and tailings treatment. They feed materials to dryers or convey waste to designated cuttings bins, and their power, length, diameter, inclination, speed, and conveying capacity can be customized according to actual working conditions.
High-efficiency drill cuttings conveying helps users achieve better processing results. The conveyor can provide a continuous and stable conveying effect for large quantities of material, effectively ensuring the normal operation of subsequent processing equipment.
