The specially designed drilling mud hydrocyclone units are primarily used for the removal of sand-size and silt-size particles from returned drilling fluids. Abrasion resistance polyurethane hydrocyclones are applied to the unit. The unit can be standalone for use or assembled above our shale shaker through pre-designed connectors. The number of desander and desilter cones is customizable according to the real conditions.

Assembled to Shale Shaker
The standalone desander/desilter hydrocyclone unit can be assembled above linear motion shale shaker to recycle the useful drilling fluids from hydrocyclone underflow screening by fine mesh screens. Mud cleaner which combines desander, desilter and dewatering shale shaker in one unit is often used in nowadays drilling applications.
