摘要: A continuous-belt drilling mud separation unit is removably mounted in a box-like housing disposed the flow path of or fluids and operated by motor on housing. The includes generally rectangular frame, tensioning system, wide continuous belt form mesh screen, chain, self-cleaning chain link belt, combination wire screen which extends around rollers sprockets driven loop moving along longitudinal axis frame. As are conducted onto liquids particles smaller than openings pass through larger transported discharged off one end as completes its path. system installed upstream from conventional solids control equipment, such shale shakers, removes large amounts drill gumbo fluid prior to flowing equipment. By removing fluid, present apparatus improves efficiency performance reduces cost operating maintaining
