Automated Conveyorized Wash System to Wash Oilfield Positive Displacement Motors and Drilling Tools

摘要

An automated conveyorized wash system to wash oil field positive displacement motors and drilling tools can include a conveyor track to guide a load-carrying carriage filled with drilling tool parts and/or displacement motors along a predetermined path inside the washer. A relay switch and control means can be used to begin and end the washing process. Oscillating nozzle arrays and rotating nozzles are disposed throughout a series of sprayer tube assemblies further mounted onto a framework to dispense water or aqueous cleaning solution at the tool parts and/or displacement motors as they travel inside the carriage. Heated water can be used and stored in a reservoir. Motorized pumps transfer the water through flexible hosing to the spray nozzles.
