DESCRIPTION
The 2013 MCT-450 Mud Recycling System is a heavy-duty, completely self-contained drilling fluid mixing and cleaning system engineered for high-production job sites. Delivering a robust 450+ GPM cleaning capacity, this unit ensures your drilling fluid remains clean, consistent, and optimized for maximum drilling efficiency.
Fully inspected and verified, everything on this system works exactly as it should. It features upgraded mechanical seal pumps, and a brand-new pit pump added in April 2025, ensuring it is 100% field-ready. This mud system features a massive screening area that has a total of 36 sq. ft., split equally between an 18 sq. ft. shale shaker and an 18 sq. ft. desilter screening area. It is equipped with six 5-inch high-performance cones featuring 20-micron cut points and the ability to accept a wide variety of screen mesh sizes. And it’s powered by robust dual electric pumps; a 25 HP pump to pressure-feed the hydrocyclones and a 30 HP pump to feed the hopper, jet guns, and supercharge system.
The tank capacity is approximately 2,400 gallons total, split equally into a two-section tank for clean and dirty fluid volume, complete with large, easy-open clean-outs and 1-inch safety bar grating. Includes a low-pressure, high-shear mixing hopper with an integrated sack table. Along with submerged high-shear jet guns in both tanks allow for efficient stirring, supported by independent valves to fine-tune your mixing requirements and a remote On/Off switch for the driller.
The 2013 MCT-450 Mud Recycling System is powered by a 480V / 60 kW / 3-phase diesel generator featuring engine/generator safety shutdowns and an IEC-rated main electrical box. Built on a triple-beam skid with lifting bars, extra structural bracing, and 3-inch square tubing around the top edge. All open floor areas are covered with bar grating or diamond plate. Includes “Hi Vis” night work lights, a 110V regulated power outlet, and a 110V electric valve to control fluid delivery to the drill. The exterior is sandblasted and coated with high-solids industrial paint for ultimate durability.
In conclusion, the 2013 MCT-450 Mud Recycling System is a dependable, high-output mud recycling solution designed to handle demanding drilling volumes while keeping your operation running smoothly.
