Feed And Discharge Connections - DERRICK HYPERPOOL SHAKER Maintenance & Operation Manual

INSTALLATION

FEED AND DISCHARGE CONNECTIONS

When configured as a mud cleaner, the HyperPool shaker is equipped with a round desilter
having 4" hydrocyclones and desanders having 10" hydrocyclones. Desilters have clusters of 14,
16, or 20 hydrocyclones depending on customer requirements, and desanders have two or three
10" hydrocyclones.
Desilter Connections
®
All desilters have inlet and discharge pipes designed to accept Victaulic couplings (Figure 3-8).
The inlet connection is on top of the unit, and two horizontal discharge connections are provided.
Either or both discharge connection(s) may be used to accommodate the customer piping
arrangement. For single inlet piping, the unused connection must be capped.
Desander Connections
®
The 10" desander has horizontal inlet and discharge pipes, which are also designed for Victaulic
couplers. The inlet connection (lower pipe) is 8", and discharge (upper pipe) is 10". Customer
piping may be connected to either desander inlet pipe. However, the discharge pipe may be
connected only to the left side of the discharge manifold, as viewed from the feed end of the
machine and looking toward the discharge end; the right side is sealed.

Feeder Connection
When the machine is not equipped with a desander and desilter,a customer-supplied flange must
be installed on the back of the feeder to accept the feed line. Pipe targets are imprinted on the
outside of the feeder (Figure 3-9) to indicate the proper location and corresponding size for
connecting the feed line. Using the appropriate-size target, cut out a circle to receive a customer-
supplied flange to accept the feed line.
