Drilling Cuttings Box

The drilling cuttings box is a device used to collect and transport waste drilling fluid and cuttings in offshore drilling operations. Due to the limitations of crane loads on early drilling rigs, the use of drilling cuttings boxes became an easy way to collect and transport waste. These boxes are usually placed close to the solids control equipment, so that the moving distance is short and convenient for boxing. When a bin is full, it is removed and an empty bin is placed to continue collecting waste. After a certain number of boxes have been met, workboats are used to transport these full boxes back to shore, while empty boxes are brought back to the drilling site for further use.
drilling cuttings boxes usually come in two sizes: 25bbl and 15bbl. A 25bbl box can weigh up to 15 tonnes when full, especially when using high density drilling fluids. The 15bbl box is designed to adapt to the situation that the crane cannot lift the large drilling cuttings box, and it weighs 7 to 10 tons when full. When in use, empty boxes can be stacked to save space, but not when full. For larger-scale construction, it is usually necessary to use more than three sets of 25 to 30 drilling cuttings boxes each. Therefore, there needs to be enough space at the drilling site to accommodate all the drilling cuttings boxes.

Drilling Cuttings Box Parameters
1. Cabinet size: 2160×1234×1202.5mm
These are the external dimensions of the drilling cuttings box, including length, width and height.
2. Box weight: 900kg
This is the weight of the drilling cuttings box when it is not full of waste.
3. Working load: 8000kg
This is the carrying capacity of the drilling cuttings box, that is, the maximum weight it can bear, including the weight of the box itself and the weight of waste.
4. Box volume: 2.3 cubic meters
This is the volume of the drilling cuttings box, indicating the total volume of waste drilling fluid and cuttings that can be accommodated.
5. Box material: The box body is made of marine steel plate, and the rotating parts such as door hinges and pins, as well as the fixed Kama and fixed feet are made of 316 stainless steel.
This is the material description of the drilling cuttings box. The box is made of marine steel plate to ensure strength and durability. 316 stainless steel is used for hinges, pin shafts and other rotating parts, as well as fixed Kama and fixed feet, because this material has excellent corrosion resistance and can be used in a marine environment for a long time without rust.
