Resources
The HS-3400 series centrifuge is fed from the solids end of the conveyor. Mud is introduced into the feed chamber through a feed tube and exits into the bowl via four nozzles. The HS-3400 FS exerts up to 2,275 G’s on the mud, while the HS-3400 VSD, HS-3400 FVS, and the HS-3400 VS exert up to 2,100 G’s.
The HS-3400 FS is a fixed-speed drive unit, whereas the HS-3400 FVS and HS-3400 VS are equipped with variable-frequency drive (VFD) control, which provides a controlled application of motor drive power to the centrifuge components (bowl, conveyor, and feed pump). Hardware and software packages can be custom-designed to specific installation and operational requirements.
The HS-3400 VSD is a hydraulically driven unit with a variable speed bowl drive. The HS-3400 FVS is electrically driven, with both the bowl drive and conveyor equipped with variable speed. The HS-3400 VSD and HS-3400 FVS centrifuges offer increased operational flexibility in situations for which conditions vary.
With a processing capacity up to 200 gal/min (757 L/min), the HS-3400 series centrifuge offers outstanding performance in a wide range of drilling applications and conditions.
Features
- Up to 200 gal/min (757 L/min) maximum processing capacity
- 52:1 ratio planetary gearbox
- Feed from solids end
- VFD control (HS-3400 FVS)
- Bowl and heads manufactured of stainless steel
- Stainless steel case
- Entire scroll fitted with sintered tungsten carbide tiles
- Flush connections
- Case gaskets
- Vibration switch shut-off mechanism (HS-3400 FS, HS-3400 FVS)
- Case baffle gasket
- Torque overload mechanism (HS-3400 FS, HS-3400 VSD)
- Roller and ball bearings
- Sturdy WF-beam skid
- Eight tungsten carbide solids discharge nozzles
- Four epicentric orifices
- Chute style discharge for solid and liquid ends
Benefits
- Ample capacity for use in a variety of drilling applications and conditions (water)
- Provides for a reduced motor size
- Provides a short feed tube with less vibration
- Permits easy adjustment of bowl, conveyor, and feed pump speeds for varying process conditions; provides torque overload protection
- Provides corrosion resistance for long life, smooth operation, and low maintenance
- Offers high strength and corrosion resistance
- Offers abrasion resistance for maximum operational life and low maintenance
- Aids in cleaning excess material from inside the case
- Retains process materials within the case to prevent spills or leaks
- Automatically disables operation in situations of high vibration
- Keeps separated streams apart
- Shuts down both the centrifuge and feed pump in overload situations due to blockage
- Offers long life and low maintenance
- Supplies a solid foundation for smooth operation
- Offers an abrasion-resistant exit of solids from the bowl to discharge. These nozzles are also cost effective during refurbishment, as they can simply be replaced rather than needing costly repairs.
- Enables high discharge flow rate and easy adjustment of the pond depth
- Enables high-capacity processing
