The new 600-gallon-per-minute mud recycling system can be paired with maxi rigs pumping between 300 and 600 gallons per minute on pipeline and other large-diameter installation projects. It also features a redesigned linear motion shaker deck to help reduce weight, increase the available G-force, and extend screen life, as well as several other performance and serviceability-enhancing features. According to Adam Bates, Vermeer product manager for fluid management equipment, the R600T is the successor to the popular R9x12T reclaimer widely used in the pipeline industry. “Since Vermeer launched its first reclaimer, the industry has embraced mud recycling systems because these machines help reduce the amount of drilling fluid additives and freshwater required on HDD projects,” he explained. “Our latest generation of reclaimers, starting with the R250C reclaimer and now the R600T, are excellent machines for contractors because they are so efficient and thorough at separating sand and coarse silts from drilling fluids. Our latest reclaimer model, the R600T, offers excellent jobsite flexibility with its ability to work in conjunction with a range of maxi rig drill sizes.” This three-tank (scalped, middle, and clean) reclaimer has a total fluid capacity of 7729 gallons, and can process 1100 gallons per minute of drilling slurry for a true cleaning capacity suited for HDD projects in the 600-gallon-per-minute range. The drilling slurry cycles through two 10-inch desanders and a desilter manifold with 16 five-inch desilters to remove sand and coarse material before being deposited onto the unit’s linear motion shaker decks. The unique design of the desilter manifold reduces turbulence when the liquid exits the hydrocyclone to minimize recycled sand content and keep spoil/soil moisture levels low. Contractors also have the ability to choose their own power source. The reclaimer can be configured with an onboard generator set, or it can be connected to another power source. “Many contractors prefer to rent support equipment on largediameter pipeline projects,” explained Bates. “Equipped with quick-connect electrical cables, crews can quickly connect the reclaimer to a rented generator or even a shared gen set that may also be powering the drill’s operator cabin.” With a one-level working deck, fast-deploying walkway, and centralized main controls area, the R600T sets up quickly and is efficient to operate.
