Barite Recovery & Dewatering Centrifuges

Whether you are working toward maximizing barite recovery or looking to get the most out of your “zero-discharge” system, KEMTRON’s field proven decanting centrifuges are a perfect choice.  With over 450 units installed worldwide, KEMTRON’s centrifuges can be found in almost every harsh environment, including Siberia, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil.  Like all KEMTRON products, each centrifuge package is customized to meet your specific needs. 

Drive Options

Depending on your budget and performance needs, drive systems can be provided with Mechanical Variable Control or Variable Frequency Control.  Mechanical Variable Control drives are less expensive and easier to maintain, in comparison to Variable Frequency Control drives.  Alternatively, Variable Frequency Controlled centrifuges allow the operator to change the centrifuge from a “barite recovery” to “ultra-fine solids removal” system with the flip of a switch.  Regardless of the option, KEMTRON has the needed experience to help engineer the best configuration for your application. 

To provide further control and performance, KEMTRON can fit each of its centrifuges with a back-drive to ensure the greatest control and solid/liquid separation efficiency.  A back drive provides conveyor torque speed & sediment height control, and is less likely to generate a secondary flow.

Product Integration

KEMTRON manufactures a complete line of user-friendly mud recycling, mud mixing, dewatering, and closed-loop water reclamation systems for the oil & gas, trenchless drilling, geothermal, water-well and mining industries utilizing our own centrifuge technology.  Each centrifuge system is carefully designed per the requirements of the application and the operating conditions.
