Cutting Dryer

Driscoil Equipment supplies high-performance Cuttings Dryers designed for efficient separation of drilling fluids from drilled solids. The equipment is commonly integrated into solids-control and drilling-waste-management systems to recover valuable drilling fluid while reducing the liquid content of discharged drill cuttings.
