The vertical cuttings dryer ensures high efficiency of separation of drilling waste and minimizes the content of drill cuttings during oil and gas drilling. The main function of vertical cuttings dryer is to recover useful oil-based drilling fluid, reduce the oil content (OOC) of the cuttings, and reduce the total volume of cuttings that will be finally processed in the thermal desorption unit. The recovered oil-based drilling fluid will be returned to the solids control system. KWCD930 series dryer is mainly used for oil-based sludge, KWCD930S series with direct drive and double motor can be used for oil- and water-based sludge.
Vertical cuttings dryer with direct drive KWCD930S, the newest generation with direct drive and dual motor, has powerful technological capabilities and can not only reduce the amount of oil-based drill cuttings, but also recycle water-based drill cuttings. It uses two motors to drive the sieve basket and scraper respectively. It realizes adjustable and controlled main shaft speed and differential speed through double frequency conversion speed control.

The main function of vertical dryer is to recover the useful oil based mud, reduce the oil content on cuttings (OOC) and reduce the total volume of cuttings which will be finally treated by Thermal Desorption Unit. The recovered oil based mud will be returned to active mud system. Some conditions, the operator will adopt High G dryer or high G shaker to replace the Vertical dryer to achieve same functions. Even, the performance of High G dryer is not as good as Vertical Cutting Dryer, the oil on cuttings will be around 10% after high G dryer, but all choices is depends on the owner's requirements

- Screen material - stainless steel, best protection against corrosion. The screen is made with high precision and dynamic balance to ensure better balance and easy replacement.
- The scrapers on the rotor have a hardness of HRC 65 with longer service life. Separate balancing on the scrapers and rotor is carried out for good performance and easy to repair
- Individual lubrication system with automatic low pressure alarm.
- The dryer motor and oil pump motor are interlocked, the dryer can only be started after the oil pump is started.
- Main bearings are spherical roller bearings manufactured by FAG Brand.
- Main electrical components from international brands: SIEMENS, Schneider, ABB or CHINT, etc.
- The Ex-proof standard normally comply with China Standard EXDIIBT4, IEC/ATEX for option
