A screw conveyer or auger conveyer is a mechanism that uses a rotating helical screw blade, called a “flighting“, usually within a tube, to move liquid or granular materials. They are used in many bulk handling industries. Screw conveyors in modern industry are often used horizontally or at a slight incline as an efficient way to move semi-solid materials, including food waste, wood chips, aggregates, cereal grains, animal feed, boiler ash, meat, bone meal, municipal solid waste, and many others. The design of the conveyor is dependent on operating conditions, the type of transported material and its properties. Traffic enforcement can be controlled by changing the speed of propulsion.
 

With the enhancement of environmental consciousness. nowadays many more environmental regulations limiting or banning the discharge of various types of drilling fluids and associated drill cuttings globally. The drilling contractors started to utilize "zero discharge" or "ship to shore" drilling operations. In these operations, drill cuttings and associated waste fluids are collected on the rig in cutting boxes and then sent back to shore for disposal or treatment prior to disposal. Even when the discharge of drill cuttings offshore is still allowed. there is often now a requirement to collect and transport drill cuttings on the rig for secondary process such as vertical cutting dryer that will reduce the volume of drilling fluids associated with cuttings prior to discharge. In the drilling waste management or some similar works, screw conveyor or auger is a necessary part to convey materials from base ground to a higher position for further treatment.

Screw conveyer, commonly known as auger. It has horizontal, inclined and combined form, and it can be used with other transport devices, to accomplish combined transport, separate transport, mixing, blending, dehydration, compounding, discharging and stacking, etc. KOSUN Screw Conveyer used in the drilling waste management for the drilling fluids or cuttings transportation. KOSUN Screw Conveyor is designed to offer an efficient, low cost, cuttings transport system for offshore and onshore drilling installations. The screw conveyors are manufactured to the highest safety standards and are fitted with protective grating or cover to prevent foreign bodies from entering the conveyor system, and to offer enhanced safety for all personnel.

Screw conveyer can be used in many industries. KOSUN Screw Conveyer is a highly efficient equipment in drilling waste management. Besides, other drilling waste management equipment that KOSUN can offer include vertical centrifuge, Hi-G dryer, screw pump, etc.
