12-Inch Desander Cyclone – High-Efficiency Solids Separation For Drilling Mud Systems

12-Inch Desander Cyclone – High-Efficiency Solids Separation for Drilling Mud Systems

Product Description

The 12-Inch Desander Cyclone is a key component of the solids control system, designed for efficient removal of medium-sized solid particles from drilling fluids. Manufactured by TR Solids Control, this hydrocyclone separator uses centrifugal force to separate sand and silt particles (typically 45–75 μm) from drilling mud, helping to maintain proper mud properties and protect downstream equipment such as desilters, centrifuges, and mud pumps.

Constructed from wear-resistant polyurethane or high-chromium cast iron, the 12-inch cyclone ensures long service life and excellent performance under harsh drilling conditions. It is typically installed on a mud cleaner or desander manifold and operates with stable pressure, minimal maintenance, and consistent separation efficiency.
