I. General
Centrifuge Model GLW355×1250N for separation of detrital material of drilling muds
is widely used in solid control system for drilling mud to separate the solids phase of
mud, remove harmful fine drill solids such as debris, etc. in the mud fluid, or recover
weighting materials such as barite etc. so as to reduce the cost of mud fluid.
GLW355×1250N centrifuge provides two drive modes: rated frequency drive and
variable frequency drive. As to rated frequency drive centrifuge, the rotating bowl
speed is fixed, so the speed can be changed only by changing drive pulley; while
variable frequency drive centrifuge can achieve large-range stepless speed regulation
easily with parameters displayed, e.g. speed and working current.

IV. Structure and Operating Principle

1. Structure
This machine is composed of unit assembly of revolving part, power transmission

system, overload release system, base and casing, feed tube, electric control system,
etc.
Graph 1 shows external dimensions of the main machine whilst Graph 5 illustrates the
exploded drawing of the unit.
1.1 Unit assembly of revolving part
The rotating assembly is composed of such components as bowl, conveyor, gearbox,

etc., and which is fixed horizontally on the base through two pillow blocks. The bowl
is a column - cone structure and there are 6 adjustable dams with a pond depth on the
big end semi-shaft of the bowl. Inner ribs are welded along the axis of inner columnar
surface and inner conic surface. The unit of the screw conveyor is mainly welded in
combination with core pipes, accelerators, helical flight, etc. and which is placed
coaxially in the bowl by the bearings on the semi-shafts of two end of it. The spline
housing of the big end is connected with gearbox by spline shaft. The screw conveyor
is double-ended, left rotating, whose conveying face is bead welded with wear-
resisting hard alloy layer.
Graph 7 indicates the exploded drawing of rotational parts assembly.
7
1.2 Power transmission and overload release system
1.2.1 Power transmission
The main power transmission drives the bowl to rotate by motor and hydro-coupling
installed on the axis of it, through belts and pulleys. The back power transmission
drives the input shaft of gearbox to rotate by motor and pulley, through reducer and
the pulley of gearbox and through overload release.
1.2.2 Over load release
This machine adopts a double protection measure of mechanism-electric appliance,

include hydro-coupling, mechanic overload release.
1.3 Base and casing
Consist of vessel assembly, base, vibration dampers, and transport frame.
1.4 Assembly of feed tube
The assembly of feed tube involves that of feed tube and cleaning tube. The cleaning
tubes is used for flushing the centrifuge before shuting down.
1.5 Electric control system
Electric control system includes control cabinet, limit switch and corresponding cables.
2. Operating principle
2.1 Operating principle of centrifuge
See Figure 8.When drilling mud continuously enters the centrifuge through feed tube
(1) , it enters the bowl (7) through feed hole (5), the bowl rotates in high speed;
Under the action of gearbox (9) , conveyor (4) achieves a differential speed that lags
the bowl. Thus, the bowl and conveyor composes transmission mechanism with slight
differential speed and high-speed rotation in same direction.
With the centrifugal force tens even hundreds of times as large as gravity, an annular
liquid pool is formed inside of the bowl. The density contrast between solid and liquid
8
phases enables heavier solid-phased particles to be settled down on interior wall of

bowl and form sediments, which are pushed to the small holes of the bowl with the
relative movement between spiral shades and bowl, and finally discharged from the
holes (12). The clarified effluent of inner circle is discharged from overflow port (11)
through a spiral channel. Consequently, the production process of continuous
separation of solids phase and liquid phase is realized.
2.2 Function and operating principle of gearbox
Gearbox be used to afford a differential speed between conveyor and bowl. The
principle is shown in Figure 6. The gearbox house (3) rotates at the same speed as that
of centrifuge bowl (2) , the back motor drives the input shaft(5) by pulley (4) ，
therefore two speeds establish a differential rotating speed between the conveyor (1)
and the bowl , which is generally called differential speed.
The calculation formula of the differential speed is as follow:
△n=(nR- nG)/ i rpm
nR : Rotation speed of input shaft of gearbox, in rpm
nG : Rotation speed of bowl, in rpm
i: Ratio of gearbox
n: Differential speed. When its value is negative (-) the rotation speed of
screw conveyor lags behind the bowl; when its value is positive (+), the rotation speed
of screw conveyor is ahead of the bowl. The former is true for this centrifuge.
2.3 Function and principle of hydro-coupling
The hydro-coupling used in this machine is a constant filling hydro-coupling. It’s

structure and principle are indicated by Figure 13. The impeller (15) is directly
connected with the shaft of motor, and the power drives the bowl to rotate by
hydraulic mediator through turbine (6) — pulley (4) that connected with it — belts—
driven pulley. As the power is transmitted to turbine through the hydraulic oil that
9
makes circumferential spiral movement between the impeller (15) and the turbine (6) ,
it has the function of stable load enablement and shock isolation, and consequently
changes the direct load enablement behavior of the motor to flexible load enablement.
Moreover, as this hydro-coupling is a constant filling hydro-coupling with a
hydrostatic unload mode, when the load increases and the rotation speed of turbine
reduces, the rotation speed of the liquid in side cavum will reduce, the hydrostatic
head will reduce, some liquid in the operating cavum will flow into side cavum, which
will reduce the capacity of coupling and consequently realizes the effect of moment
limiting. For another thing, when slurry change centrifuge runs in an overload way
during production, the rotation speed difference between impeller and turbine will
increase resulting in the increase of temperatures of operating oil within the hydro-
coupling. If the overload time is so long as the temperature of operating oil increases
to 125℃, the fusible plug (11) on the shell of hydro-coupling will melt and the oil
will eject, as a result of which the hydro-coupling will stop working and the motor
will unload, consequently the centrifuge is protected.
2.4 Function and principle of overload release device
The torque overload release device is the auxiliary device at the end of gearbox, as
indicated by Figure 14. It is composed of screw (7) , steel ball (6) , coupling (5) ,
disk spring (10) , drive plate (4) , etc., where drive plate (4) is connected with the
primary sun gear shaft (12) of gearbox through safety pin (11) . There is a lever (See
Figure 11) with pivot on the left end of the coupling, while the other end is exposed to
the limit switch’s (See Figure11) cam.
In case that the centrifuge is overloaded or the screw conveyor is jammed accidentally,
the steel ball (6) on the coupling will pull out from the load transfer hole in the drive
plate (4) under the action of overload force, and slip to the lowest place of the drive
plate, under the action of disk spring (10) , the coupling (5) will move to the left and
disconnect with screw (7) , the pulley of gearbox will rotate without load, as a result
of which the gearbox and the conveyor will be protected. At this time, the lever (See
10
Figure 11) push the limit switch’s (See Figure 11) cam, and thus the power supply is
cut off and the centrifuge will stop running.
V. Installation and Commissioning
1. Installation
1.1. Preparation
A. Check whether the indications on the nameplates of the motors and the centrufuge
are in accordance with the ordering information or operational requirements.
B. Dismantle the wedges under the gearbox and main pulley at both sides of the unit
assembly of revolving part respectively, as shown in Figure 6.
1.2 Installation of centrifuge
There are two alternative installation modes: firstly, ride between the two mud tanks
where spacing is reserved, the reserved space between the two tanks can be utilized to
discharge solids. secondly, put on the upper part of mud tanks. The groove slide
carriage corresponding to the dirt excluding groove is provided by the customer,
which guides solid materials to the grit chamber along the slide carriage. The clarified
effluent outlet is connected to the tank with flexible pipe.
Sufficient space for operation and maintenance around the centrifuge and a space of
not less than 1100mm long at the side of slurry inlet shall be remained, so as to pull
out feed tube.
1.3 Installation of feed pump and pipeline connection
Two types of feed pump with different service theory are available for either
rated frequency or frequency conversion centrifugal machine.
1.3.1 Centrifugal feed pump

It falls into two categories, namely vertical feed pump and horizontal feed pump,
from the perspective of its structure. Graph 2 and 3 demonstrate where it should be
11
placed on the tank. To the former one, an angle steel structure should be welded on the
tank to allow the pump to be smoothly placed and to hold tightly the pump to avoid its
falling off into the tank.
It’s unnecessary to weld such a steel structure on the tank should the latter one be
employed, because it can be directly placed on either end of the tank or side of the
tank.
1.3.2 Screw type feed pump

The pump is divided into two types, namely frequency conversion control and
stepless speed reducer. The former is applicable to the feeding of tri-frequency
conversion centrifugal machine while the latter to the feeding of pure rated frequency
centrifugal machine. Please see Graph 4 for its location.
Regardless either type of feed pump, its suction inlet should be hooked up to the
feed cabin of mud tank, discharge pump of which should be connected with the
corresponding joint of feed pipe of the unit. Rubber hose is used to introduce fresh
water to the smaller joint of the feed pipe. A section of rubber hose is taken to connect
the washing joints of broken bits discharging groove and of bowl cover with water
source. No polluted water is allowable for the washing pipe of bowl cover in order to
avoid blockage of sieve pores.
1.4 Installation of feed tube
Do hold the tube support upright when installing, and then insert the stainless tube,
buckle the cover, pre-screw four screws respectively on lower part of the tube support
and the cover, jigger repeatedly the bowl for 3~5 circles with hands in a negative
direction, and it will be eligible when adjusting to a situation where there is no
collision noise between the steel tube and the internal components of the bowl. Then,
screw up the four screws at the lower part of the tube support and properly screw up
the cover bolts (a spacing of 0.5~1mm should be reserved between the tube support
and the cover) and connect the hoses properly.
1.5 Electrical installation
12
The electric cabinet is well connected with main motor, back motor and limit switch at
the factory.
The electric engine cable of the feed pump and main power supply cable shall be
prepared and connected on the site. When collecting, open the cover of the connection
chamber at the bottom of the control cabinet, connect the electric engine cable of the
feed pump and main power supply cable to corresponding connecting terminals
respectively according to the figure, close the cover of the connection chamber after
no error is ensured, and at last screw down the bolts. Pay attention to that the grommet
at the cable inlet/outlet packs the cables firmly together. Plugging/unplugging isn’t
permitted under the supply of power for the main power lines fitted with quick inserts.
Upon erection of electrical devices, checking to see if it is grounding is a must, if
applicable, to measure its grounding resistance.
See Section 3.3, Chapter VI Operation of Frequency Conversion Centrifugal Machine

for the frequency conversion centrifugal machine part.
1.6． Connection of liquid phase outlets

Liquid phase outlets contain main pipe and bypass pipe, with butterfly valve set up
respectively. The former one is designed to serve the normal work, i.e. drilling fluid
after treatment can be discharged to the mud pump; the latter one is designed to
discharge clean water outside of the mud tank to avoid excessive clean water flowing
into drilling fluid and changing its property while washing inside of centrifugal
machine bowl with fresh water when the machine shut down. See Graph 12.
It’s advised to link the external pipe of main pipe via a bell mouth so as to have a
better observation and sampling.
2. Adjustment
2.1 Adjustment of the rotation speed of bowl
The rotation speed of bowl is only allowed to be adjusted within the maximum active
rotation speed specified in the specification or on the nameplate of the centrifuge.
13
For rated frequency centrifuge, change the main pulley with bigger or smaller
diameter and longer or shorter V-belts as well to increase or decrease the rotation
speed of bowl.
The bowl of the frequency conversion centrifugal machine can be speed up and down
by turning “speed up” or “speed down” knob.
When the operating speed of rotating bowl is increased, smaller solid particle can be
separated but the throughput will be reduced, the abrasion, vibration noise and load
will be increased and the service life will be shortened.
Hence, it is recommended to rationally select bowl speed according to separation

application or solid content in drilling mud. For example, select medium/low speed
for recycling barite or high density slurry, select higher speed for medium density
slurry, and select the highest speed for low density slurry.
2.2 Adjustment of differential speed
The differential speed of centrifuge is generally within the stipulated range and need
not to be adjusted by customers. However, customers can only change this parameter
within a small range by themselves.
For rated frequency centrifuge, the method is: Pull out the original pulley of the back
motor and install pulley with bigger or smaller diameter and belts for replacement.
When the pulley of back motor is enlarged, the speed of the input shaft of gearbox
will increase, the differential speed will decrease; contrariwise, the differential speed
will increase. To the frequency conversion centrifugal machine, to turn the “speed up”
or “speed down” knob can change the back motor so as to change rotational speed.
Increase in motor speed causes decrease in differential, vice versa, see Section 2.2,
Chapter IV.
Excessively high differential speed may result in turbulence of fluid flow, disturb
solid deposit and reduce slag discharge; while excessively low differential speed may
cause conveyor blocked.
14
2.3 Adjustment of pond depth
Dismantle the 6 dams on the big end semi-shaft, reassembly with a new same angle,
and the overflow diameter is consequently changed. When the overflow diameter
increases, the pond depth will decrease, and vice versa. Under the condition that the
speed of bowl and the differencial speed is definite, if the pond depth decreases, the
moisture of discharge solid will decrease, the torque moment on screw conveyor will
increase; contrariwise, the recovery ratio of solid phase will increase.
The 6 dams must be adjusted simultaneously and in same angle and the positions of
the 6 dams may not be changed as well so as to avoid the extra amount of unbalance.
2.4 Adjustment of V-belts
Checking to see if the triangle rubber belt is appropriately set up is imperative. If

applicable, to loose the bolts of motor control, adjust the screw to properly fasten the
triangle belt, and finally re-tighten the bolts. In the process of adjustment, to align the
active wheel with the passive wheel is a must.
Note: The belts should be of moderate tension, excessive tension may cause heating
of motor bearings.
2.5 Adjustment of overload release and electric interlock
The distance between the roller and the drive plate should be appropriately adjusted. If
the distance is excessive long, the electric protection will fail to function; if it is
excessive short, the roller and the limit switch can easily be damaged.
After each action, the drive plate and the coupling should be reset. The safety pin, the
roller and the limit switch should be inspected and replacement should be performed
for any damage.
3. Commissioning
3.1 Check the following items and give timely and proper treatment if any
abnormal is found.
15
A. Check whether the equipment is completed and whether any equipment or

component is missed or installed in a wrong manner.
B. Check whether the equipment is reliably earthed and measure the earthing
resistance if necessary.
C. Check whether the oil level in the gearbox and hydro-coupling is OK.
D. Check whether the V-belts are stressed properly.
E. Manually turn the bowl of the centrifuge to check whether any abnormal
occurrence of obstruction occurs.
F. Check whether the belt guards and the vessel are well connected and the bolts for
pillow blocks, vibration dampers, feed tube, and control cabinet etc. become loose.
3.2 Start in inching the equipment to check the rotating direction and change the
phase conductors of the motor if necessary.
A. Start up the back motor to observe whether the gearbox pulley rotates in a correct
direction. Observed from the small end of the bowl, the gearbox pulley shall rotate in
clockwise. Meanwhile, check whether any abnormal occurrences appear.
B. Start in inching the main motor to observe whether it’s pulley rotates in a correct
direction. Observed from the small end of the bowl, the pulley shall rotate in
clockwise. Meanwhile, check whether any abnormal occurrences appear.
C. Start in inching feed pump to observe whether it rotates in a correct direction.

Observed from the end of the motor, the pump shaft shall rotate in clockwise.
3.3. No-load running
Start the centrifuge according to the operating steps but do not start the feed pump to
make it run without load. Check whether there is abnormal noise, vibration or heating.
Make sure that the temperature rise of the pillow blocks shall not be beyond 35℃
after running 2 hours. If conditions permit, one can measure the bowl speed and
vibrating intensity of the pillow blocks and make sure that the bowl speed shall not
16
less than the 97% of the rated one and vibrating intensity shall not exceed 7.1mm/s.
3.4 Load running
To turn on centrifugal machine in accordance with operational process, after it reaches

the service speed, to turn on the feed pump, then checking to see if there are any
abnormal situations e.g. vibration, noise, or heating.
To opt for the appropriate feeding amount in light of the mud density at inlet and
separation effects to be fulfilled. Abrupt increase in feeding amount is absolutely
forbidden to steer clear of blockage of centrifugal machine, otherwise resulting in
stuck screw propeller. While the centrifugal pump is employed to feed material, the
feeding amount should be controlled by valve or resistive device. While the screw
pump is employed to feed material, the screw pump should take responsibility of
adjusting the feeding amount by its rotational speed. In general, the bigger the mud
density at inlet and the smaller the liquid-phase density at outlet, the lesser the feeding
amount to be allowed, vice versa. It’s necessary to closely observe the electrical motor
power or torque displayed on the control panel of the main machine at this moment.
It’s advised to set the power under 0.9 times of rated value, or toque less than 80%,
indicating that solid phase rate has met the designed requirements, the feeding amount
should not be increased right now. Once the feeding amount is identified for the
specific mud and isolation, please take notes or marks for future operation.
The specific gravity of feed mud shall not exceed 1.8 SG, otherwise, it is necessary to
dilute the mud or reduce the speed of bowl.
VI. Sequence of Operation and Precautions

1. Preparation prior to starting up
1.1 Proper installation and adjustment of the equipment and careful inspection and
commissioning shall be conducted according to the requirement in Section Ⅴ.

2.4. Abnormal shutting down

2.4..1 Overload of screw conveyor
Overload of screw conveyor will cause activation of overload release to break off
motor power or power off by other causes, which will block the screw conveyor. It
should be handled according troubleshooting.
2.4.2 Overload of bowl
The overload of the bowl will cause melting of hydro-coupling fusible plug, unloading
of main motor and power will not be automatically turned off. Please turn down the
feed pump and open the valve to flush bowl immediately, otherwise the conveyor will
be blocked.
2.5. Precautions for Shutting down
A. The discharge groove shall be flushed, to avoid drying and hardening of sand.
B. In winter or the centrifuge is not used for a long time, do open the vessel cover,
20
disboard the water release screw (figure 7/45), completely release the remaining water
in the bowl and completely release the mud or water in all hoses to prevent freezing.
C. In case that the centrifuge is not used for a long time and the solids in the bowl is
not flushed clearly, mud cake or ice is prone to be formed inside the bowl. Therefore,
it is necessary to turn the conveyor manually and to flush and melt the mud cake or ice
with water before another starting up. Otherwise, the unbalanced force caused by mud
cake or ice will result in the strenuous vibration, which may cause damage to the unit
and serious accidents!
The operator is not permitted to leave site until the bowl is stopped completely.
D． When turning off the machine, it’s imperative to thoroughly wash inside of the
centrifugal machine bowl, otherwise its screw propels are highly likely to be stuck
when it is run into operation next time! Remember: the normal failure of the
centrifugal machine is attributed to incomplete washing.
3.Operation for variable frequency centrifuge
Frequency conversion centrifugal machine works through frequency conversion

device.
The frequency conversion device the company offers contains double-frequency
conversion (incl. rated frequency) control device and tri-frequency conversion (incl.
rated frequency) control device. The former is applicable to the centrifugal machine
controlling the feeding of centrifugal pump whilst the latter to the centrifugal machine
controlling the feeding of screw pump.
3.1 Erection and placement of frequency conversion device

The frequency conversion control device is separate from the main machine, and
should be separately placed at the end side of the main machine for easy operation.
For better observation and operational purposes, it’s suggested to be 5m away from
the main machine, however less than 10m. The user is required to set up a shield atop
3.2 Cable specifications
21
The user is required to prepare cables with appropriate length in the contexts,
separately linking main motor, back motor, feed pump motor, travel switch, and
power source, its specifications are as follows:
3×16mm2+1 Cable linking 30kw main motor
3×4mm2+1 Cable linking 7.5kw back motor
3×4mm2+1 Cable linking 7.5kw/5kw feed pump
2×1mm2 Cable linking travel switch
3×25mm2+1 Cable linking power
△
！ To cut off power is a must prior to linking cable, it’s unallowable to plug/unplug
any devices without shutting down power. Cable and plugging column must be tightly
welded.
3.3 Operation of frequency conversion centrifugal machine
3.3.1 Aside from frequency conversion function the machine is equipped, it is fitted
with rated frequency control mode. If necessary, it’s very convenient to switch the
rated frequency to frequency conversion or frequency conversion to rated frequency.
The operation of its rated frequency is as same as above on driving rated frequency.
3.3.2 Adjustment of rotary direction

A. Under the frequency conversion mode, the main motor, back motor, and pump
motor should work according to their respective requirements.

1.1 Bearing lubrication
The centrifuge has two lubrication points, including main bearings respectively at the
big and small ends of the bowl. The pillow blocks at both ends are equipped with
25
grease nipple. The main bearings should be lubricated after each running of 48 hours.
The main bearings should be lubricated when the centrifuge is running until a little
grease outflows from the grease outlet or gaps. Proper lubrication quantity is one third
of the capacity of the grease chamber. Insufficient lubrication may burnout the bearing
and excessive lubrication may cause unusual heating of the bearing.
The centrifuge has been lubricated with sufficient grease at the factory, which can
manage normal running for 2 to 3 years and the grease only needs to be renewed
during overhaul.
1.2 Gearbox lubrication
15# hyperbolic gear oil should be chosen for the gearbox lubrication in winter while
18# hyperboid gear oil should be chosen in summer. The running-in period of new
gearbox is 150 hours, after which the oil must be renewed, and the endocoele of the
gearbox should be completely cleaned several times with diesel oil before injection of
fresh oil. Afterwards, renew oil with fresh oil according to the method mentioned
above every running for three months and 100-mesh filter screen should be used for
filtration in filling oil. The examine procedure for the fueling charge is indicated by
Figure 7: After oil filling, when turn the filler to the position forming a angle of about
30 degree with the horizontal line (that is to say, the position like the hand at 10
o’clock on the clock), if the oil just starts overflow, it shows that the oil is sufficiently
filled (never allow topping up).
1.3 Working fluid for hydro-coupling
There are two plug screws on the shell of the hydro-coupling, by twisting which oil
drain or oil filling will be achieved through its. Fuel charge accounts for about 80% of
the capacity, 5 to 7 liters, the low value is the min oil filling amount and the high
value is the max filling amount. The oil must be renewed after each running for 5000
hours and 100 mesh filter screen should be used for filtration during oil filling.
1.4 Lubrication of the feed pump
26
See User’s Manual of Feed Pump for Centrifugal Machine for lubrication
At the factory, this centrifuge has been filled with sufficient grease at each bearing,
and the gearbox and hydro-coupling have been filled with sufficient oil, which has
experienced no-load running test for 4 hours. When new machine or unit after storage
is again put into operation, the user should examine that whether each lubrication
point, gearbox and hydro-coupling have trace of oil leakage and fill oil if necessary.
