The ZECO Mud Cleaner uses a unique two-stage mechanical process to remove fine drill solids. By a combination of cycloning and screening, the entire circulating volume is stripped of sand without significant loss of valuable weighting materials, chemicals, or fluids.

Field application has proven these benefits:

• Chemical treatment is reduced and mud costs are lower.
• Bit life and penetration rates are increased.
• Filter cake properties are improved and the danger of differential
  sticking is minimized.
• Cementing problems are reduced.
• Downtime due to abrasion of pump parts minimized.
• Waste disposal problems are reduced.

Efficiently returns LCM to active system and drill solids to reserve pit.

Self-cleaning Screen

How it works:

As fluid and solids move across screen, Cluster Sliders bounce and impact screen bottom, driving fluid through the screen and drying the solids before discharging out the discharge spout.
