Brandt 4-inch cones are hydrocyclone cones used in drilling mud cleaners and desilters units for the oil and gas industry. They are designed to separate fine solids, such as silt and sand, from drilling fluid.
Function and features
Separation The primary function of the 4-inch hydrocyclone cone is to separate fine particles ranging from 12 to 47 microns. This process is crucial for maintaining the quality and properties of drilling mud.
Application These cones are integrated into larger mud cleaning systems, specifically desilter and desander units. The number of cones used depends on the processing capacity required.
Capacity Each 4-inch cone can process approximately 50 gallons per minute (GPM) at 40 pounds per square inch (PSIG) pressure.
Material They are typically manufactured from a durable, special-grade cast urethane that is resistant to abrasion, heat, and chemicals. Some versions may also feature wear-resistant ceramic inserts at the underflow to extend their life.
