Abstract:
A pair of cylindrical composite rollers formed of a metallic drum having a thick outer elastomeric layer are mounted transversely in a rectangular frame of a drilling mud separation unit over which a wide endless-loop chain-link belt is driven in a continuous loop moving along the longitudinal axis of the frame. The drive roller has a plurality of axially spaced circumferential rows of radially extending teeth that are machined in the surface of the elastomeric material. The endless belt is formed of a plurality of laterally adjacent jointed links hinged together by transverse rods. As drilling mud or drilling fluids are conducted onto the moving belt, liquids and particles smaller than the openings in the belt pass through the openings and liquids and particles larger than the openings are transported on the moving belt and are discharged off of one end as the belt completes its path. The teeth of the drive roller are sized and spaced to receive and engage the plurality of laterally adjacent jointed links of the wide belt and are of sufficient length to protrude slightly beyond the outer surface of the links as they pass around the front drive roller to dislodge gumbo and other large solids which may otherwise stick in the openings of the links and clog the belt. The elastomeric roller surfaces and teeth reduce wear and prevent metal-to-metal contact and sparking.
Abstract:
A continuous-belt drilling mud separation unit is removably mounted in a box-like housing disposed in the flow path of drilling mud or drilling fluids and is operated by a motor on the housing. The separation unit includes a generally rectangular frame, a tensioning system, and a wide continuous belt in the form of a mesh screen, chain, self-cleaning chain link belt, or combination chain link belt and wire mesh screen which extends around rollers or sprockets and is driven in a continuous loop moving along the longitudinal axis of the frame. As drilling mud or drilling fluids are conducted onto the moving belt, liquids and particles smaller than the openings in the belt pass through the openings and liquids and particles larger than the openings are transported on the moving belt and are discharged off of one end as the belt completes its path. The drilling mud separation system is installed upstream from conventional solids control equipment, such as shale shakers, and removes large amounts of large drill solids and gumbo from the drilling mud or drilling fluid prior to the drilling fluid or drill mud flowing to the conventional solids control equipment. By removing large drill solids and gumbo from the drilling mud or drilling fluid, the present apparatus improves the efficiency and performance and reduces the cost of operating and maintaining the conventional solids control equipment.

382,733. Filters or strainers. VICKERS - ARMSTRONGS, Ltd. and WARDLE, J.; Vickers House, Broadway, Westminster. Oct. 14, 1931, No. 28589. [Class 46.] A strainer B comprising wire wound in a helical groove on a former or strainer body having longitudinal grooves, slits, &c., is cleaned by toothed discs C disposed between the convolutions of the wire, the teeth entering the grooves &c., to gear with the former body. The former is rotated by a handle A5 and rotates the cleaner. The discs may be independently and loosely mounted on a spindle and separated by distance pieces, or may be formed by cutting notches in a toothed cylinder. The cleaner may be inside the former, or, as shown, outside. The Provisional Specification states that fixed cleaner blades may be employed with an oscillated former, or that two cleaners may be disposed with engaging convolutions to clean each other.
Abstract:
A continuous belt drilling mud separation unit (10) is removably mounted in a box-like housing (30) disposed in the flow path of drilling mud or drilling fluids and is operated by a motor (40) on the housing (30). The separation unit (10) includes a generally rectangular frame (11, 12), a tensioning system (21, 22, 23, 24), and a wide continuous belt (17A, 17B, 17C or 17F) in the form of a mesh screen (17A), chain (17B), self-cleaning chain link belt (17C), or combination chain link belt and wire mesh screen (17F) extending around rollers (29A, 29B, 42A, 42B) or sprockets (16). Liquids and particles smaller than the openings in the belt pass through the openings and liquids and particles larger than the openings are transported on the moving belt and are discharged off of one end of the belt.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme und Trennung von an Werkzeugmaschinen anfallenden Spänen und Kühlflüssigkeit, wobei die Kühlflüssigkeit zum Wiedereinsatz zurückgeführt und die Späne abgeführt werden, mit einem Aufnahmetank (1) zur Aufnahme der Späne und der Kühlflüssigkeit, einem sich an den Aufnahmetank (1) anschliessenden ansteigenden Führungsabschnitt (3), einem sich an den Führungsabschnitt (3) anschliessenden erhöhten Abgabeabschnitt (4), einem kettenartigen geschlossenen Transportelement, welches zumindest in dem die Späne und die Kühlflüssigkeit aufnehmenden Bereich sowie in dem Abgabeabschnitt (4) über Umlenkelemente (6, 7) geführt ist, von denen mindestens eines mit einem Drehantrieb gekoppelt ist, und einer drehbar gelagerten Filtertrommel (12), welche mit dem Transportelement in Antriebsverbindung steht. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Lösung vorzuschlagen, bei einer derartigen Vorrichtung die Lagerbelastung der Filtertrommel zu reduzieren und es zu ermöglichen, dass trotz kontinuierlich umlaufendem Transportelement sich ein Filterkuchen am Umfang der Trommel aussenseitig bilden kann, der die Filterwirkung positiv beeinflusst. Dieses wird dadurch erreicht, dass das Transportelement mit radialem Abstand zur Filtertrommel (12) auf Führungsschienen (13) an der Filtertrommel (12) entlang geführt ist und dass an dem Transportelement sowie an der Filtertrommel (12) nur in Umfangsrichtung auf die Filtertrommel (12) wirkende, jeweils im Abstand voneinander angeordnete kooperierende Mitnehmerelemente vorgesehen sind.

Abstract:
A dredging apparatus is afforded having the improvements of a wedge-shaped dredge foot housing both a fluid opening and a filter member, the intake opening being located on the underside of the dredge foot and the filter member being located above the fluid intake opening so as to be placed between the intake and the suction conduit, the taper of the wedge foot being toward its forward edge and its underside being substantially planar. Also afforded is providing the lower end of the dredge housing with a forwardly directed lever means comprising a lever member capable of being reciprocally moved in order to effect the levering of large objects, thus enabling the location of the intake opening below such objects.
