KSMR Series High-Efficiency HDD Mud Recycling System

Apr 21, 2026

In the fields of horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and resource extraction, the HDD mud recycling system is essential equipment for reducing construction costs and ensuring drilling efficiency. Leveraging over 20 years of expertise in solids control technology, KOSUN has introduced the KSMR series mud recycling system. Through a highly integrated design, it enables mud cleaning, recovery, preparation, and storage, perfectly meeting diverse needs from urban pipeline laying to large-scale unconventional oil and gas extraction.

Technical Features and Differences of Various KSMR Models
To meet different processing capacity (GPM) requirements, the KSMR series offers a tiered range of solutions from 200 to 1000 models. The core differences lie in purification levels, equipment configurations, and application scales.
 

KSMR-200 and KSMR-350: Compact and Flexible Small-scale Choices
These two models are specifically designed for HDD, geothermal, or water well projects with processing requirements below 200-350 GPM.
 · Core Technology: The KSMR-200 utilizes the LS2·752 double-deck linear motion shale shaker, while the KSMR-350 is equipped with the LS608 double-deck shale shaker.
 · Key Advantages: Both utilize a double-deck screen structure to achieve "two-stage treatment in one machine." This integrated design greatly reduces overall size and footprint, making it an ideal solution for sites with limited space, lowering costs while facilitating rapid site transfers.

KSMR-500: The Three-stage Purification Benchmark for Medium-sized Projects
For medium-sized projects requiring capacities below 500 GPM, the KSMR-500 provides a more comprehensive purification process.
· Process Optimization: The system consists of a primary shale shaker, desander cyclones, and desilter cyclones, achieving three-stage series purification.
· Enhanced Dewatering: It is specially equipped with an underflow screen to further dry the solids discharged from the cyclones, effectively reducing waste discharge.

KSMR-1000: High-efficiency Assurance for Large-capacity Construction
For large-scale HDD or coalbed methane projects with processing requirements up to 1000 GPM, the KSMR-1000 model provides powerful throughput capacity.
· Dual-machine Linkage: The system features two high-efficiency shale shakers and a corresponding increase in the number of desander and desilter cyclones to ensure stable mud properties during large-scale drilling.
· Superior Performance: Its deep purification capability provides continuous circulating power for large-scale horizontal directional drilling systems.
 

Multi-functional Integration and Global Standard Assurance
The entire KSMR series is designed with advanced mud mixing devices. After multi-stage purification, mud materials such as bentonite can be added and stirred uniformly through the mixing system to quickly restore performance. This closed-loop recycling mode significantly improves processing efficiency.
KOSUN consistently adheres to rigorous quality management. The electrical systems are explosion-proof, dust-proof, and rain-proof, ensuring construction safety. Certified by American API, EU CE, and ISO14001 environmental safety standards, the KSMR series HDD mud recycling system seamlessly meets export standards for countries worldwide.

From the lightweight KSMR-200 to the large-capacity KSMR-1000, KOSUN HDD mud recycling systems resolve the conflict between "space and efficiency" through finely tiered technical solutions. By selecting the appropriate model, customers can achieve both optimization of construction costs and compliance with environmental standards.
