Grinders

Prepping Solids for Peak Separation Performance

The DES Grinder System is a key pre-treatment step in our solids control process. Designed to reduce particle size and create a uniform slurry, our grinders boost the performance of downstream equipment – especially the centrifuge.

System Advantages

  • Improved centrifuge performance through better slurry consistency
  • Reduced wear and tear on processing equipment
  • Lower maintenance costs and fewer system interruptions
  • Effluent storage tank supports shaker washdown and keeps systems clean and efficient

How It Works

  1. Cuttings from the flow-line shakers are collected in a dedicated tank
  2. The grinder processes and resizes solids, converting them into a consistent slurry
  3. The slurry is then fed to the centrifuge for enhanced separation and drying

The result? A more efficient separation process and less strain on your centrifuge system.

Why It Matters

Grinders are more than just a support tool – they’re a force multiplier in your closed loop system. By optimizing cuttings before separation, DES helps you recover more fluid, handle solids more cleanly, and extend the life of your equipment.
