1 General
With increasingly stringent requirements for environmental protection from the
state, people from the oil and gas industry show a growing concern to hazard-free
treatment of waste drilling fluid and cuttings from the exploration and development of
the oil and gas. LL915B Spiral Unloading Filtering Centrifuge (hereafter referred to the
scroll discharge screen) catches great attention in the oil drilling industry due to its
excellent separating performance.
The scroll discharge screen has been widely used in the chemical, mining and
other industries. In oil industry, the scroll discharge screen is now used to re-dry the
cuttings from the sieve basket to reduce the water contained in the cuttings so as to
reduce the cost of hazard-free treatment of the cuttings.
2 Operating Principle
Thanks to the powerful centrifugal force, the scroll discharge screen separates the
liquid phase in the feeding materials which come from the oversize materials of the
sieve basket or the underflow of the centrifuge rotating at medium speed from the
solid phase (cuttings), which shall be subject to hazard-free treatment while the liquid
phase (drilling fluid) is recycled to the slurry system for reuse or for further treatment.
As the scroll discharge screen in operation rotates at high speed, dynamic balance
is performed on all components of the rotating assembly. As a result, the components
of the rotating assembly can be swapped without undermining its overall balance. All
normal wearing parts (screen mesh, scraper blade and external taper etc.) and main
components (sieve basket, sieve basket bracket, screw scraper cone and
transmission assembly etc.) can be dissembled from above the frame, making
components replacement and maintenance easier.
As shown in Fig. 2-1, the scroll discharge screen is mainly composed of
installation bracket(1), housing assembly (2), transmission assembly(3), screw
scraper cone (4), sieve basket (5), conical cover (6), elastomeric coupling(7), torque
sensor (8), thin oil lubrication station(9) and motor(10)etc.
1
Fig. 2-1 Operating Principle of the Scroll discharge screen
During the operation of the scroll discharge screen, the torque imposed on the
input shaft of the braked differential will increase for such reason as the solid phase
sticks between the screen mesh and screw scraper. When the torque is increased to
set value, the torque sensor (8) will be electrically cut off automatically and trigger the
audible and visual alarm. Under such circumstance, the scroll discharge screen
cannot be started up until trouble is found and removed.
In case of extreme condition or the failure of the torque sensor (8), the torque
exceeding set value will split the rubber block of the coupling (7) into two halves
vertically, resulting in the failure of the coupling, and in this moment, the pivoted axle
reaches out and there is no difference between the differential rotational speed of the
screen and that of the screw scraper cone. At such time, the scroll discharge screen
shall be shut down immediately for troubleshooting and replacing or repairing the
rubber block.
The overload protection is designed for safe operation of the scroll discharge
screen and preventing damage of key parts under overload.

5.5 Lubrication
Before delivery, the scroll discharge screen shall go through a run-in test over 4h in
the factory. The lubricating oil in the differential and lubricating oil tank is discharged
before the delivery for safety purpose; therefore, the equipment must be lubricated
after its arrival and before running. For the volume and type of oil, see Section 8.3
Scroll discharge screen lubrication.
Before starting the scroll discharge screen, start the pump motor to pump the oil to
5
the lubricating points of the transmission assembly of the main body. Observe
through the transparent oil return tube any oil returning back to the oil tank.
The main motor can only be started up after the start-up LED indicator on the
cabinet is on.
5.6 Installation of feeding tube
The feeding tube shall be installed in such way that they are removed easily for
maintenance and repair of the scroll discharge screen in the future.
5.7 Installation of liquid discharge tube
The liquid outlet of the scroll discharge screen is located in the tangent direction of
circular liquid chute at the waist of the housing assembly, and one out-flowing torque
tube is provided on each side symmetrically with the motor as the reference, as shown
in Fig. 5-1. The direction of the outlet is determined on site. Two blind plates for the
outlet are provided when delivery. The liquid shall be sampled regularly for filtration
check. The width of screen cut shall be about 0.20mm wider than that of the screen
mesh. A large amount of particles present on the screen indicates the wearing of the
mesh and a replacement is needed.

precipitation of the solid phase in the slurry in the chute.
5.10 Wiring
The main motor, oil pump motor and feeding motor shall be wired to the cabinet,
as shown in Fig. 11. As the logical interlock between the main motor and feeding
motor has been considered in design, the 7.5kw start-and-stop control line is designed
in the control cabinet for the feeding equipment (screw scraper commonly used).
It is specially noted that the equipment shall be wired to 50Hz, 380V or 60Hz,
480V power supply as per PO.
5.11 Wiring or inspection of flow switch
The flow switch connector is connected into the cabinet to enable monitoring on
the oil loop of the equipment so as to ensure the good lubrication of the differential
and rolling bearings.
The main motor and feeding motor are set procedurally to interlock with the oil
pump motor. Start the pump motor first to let the oil into the scroll discharge screen.
Then start the main motor and the feeding pump to feed. In case the flow switch
detects no oil present in the oil inlet pump of the lubricating system during the
operation of the scroll discharge screen and sends signal to the electrical control
system, stop the feeding motor first and then the main motor and pump motor. At the
same time, the audible and visual alarm is triggered to warn the operator.
5.12 Wiring or inspection of the signal line of torque sensor
The torque sensor is installed between the elastomeric coupling and the sensor. It
employs analog output and transmits real-time signal to the cabinet through the signal
line. When the torque is increased and exceeds the set value, the torque sensor will
be electrically cut off automatically and the audible and visual alarm will be triggered.
Under such circumstance, the scroll discharge screen shall not be started up until
trouble is found and removed.
7
5.13 Rotation direction checking
Following methods can be used to check whether the rotation direction of the scroll
discharge screen is correct:
① A rotation plate is installed on the vertical face of the frame below the main motor,
and the direction of the arrow is the tangential direction of the main motor driving
pulley.
② Seeing from the feed inlet of the scroll discharge screen, the sieve basket (or
screw) shall rotate in clockwise.
Seeing from the fan, the pump motor shall rotate in clockwise.
▲ The equipment and cabinet etc. shall be grounded as per the local standard and
safety regulation.

8 Maintenance
① Switch off the main motor, pump motor, feeding motor and conveyer in the control
panel.
② Hang the warning sign of “Prohibition of Use” in the obvious position in front of the
control panel, and indicate the name of person who hangs the sign in the sign.
③ Carry around the key of the control panel to prevent the power connection by
irrelevant personnel.
▲ Switch off the drier and hang the warning sign of “Prohibition of Use” before
check the drier.
Check and maintain the drier regularly. The operator determines the check
period according to the property of materials and establish a schedule for long term
maintenance. Carry out routine check according to the schedule before start the drier.
When the drier is used to separate the drilling cuttings, due to abrasive feature of
drilling cuttings, the parts of drier that contact with the drilling cuttings or drilling fluid
will be worn, even in the normal operation. Replace the worn parts before the failure,
to ensure the satisfying performance of the drier, which also requires operator to
establish a schedule for long term maintenance.

hereby.
Assembly must comply with relevant mechanical equipment assembly specifications
and keep the following in mind.
1) Must polish or remove the damage of the removed bolt top or the bulge damaged
by hammer with fine oil stone or dead smooth file.
2) Prevent dust or other foreign materials being entered O-ring or the sealing surface
of oil seal.
3) Where relevant components are engraved with alignment mark, assemble the
16
components in line with the mark.
4) Clean the machine components with clean gasoline or diesel oil. Immediately
cover the components with plastic cloth after cleaning, but not to lay them aside for a
too long time for fear of rust.
5) When assembling, must apply tools that are suitable, otherwise the components
will be hard to be removed.
6) Check the missing components. Do not miss any key and locating pin.
▲ Due to the long lubrication routine of the scroll discharge screen and during
overhaul, carefully clean the gears and planet carrier in the differential, installation
rolling bearings on shafts, oil collecting ring of the oil pan, and the filter element and oil
tank bottom of the thin oil lubrication station to prevent the newly filled lubricating oil
being polluted.
