How to Choose KD-50 to KD-200 Purification Systems for Different Strata

Slurry treatment systems (KD series) are vital in trenchless and foundation engineering, as selecting the right unit directly impacts timelines and profits. When facing the KD-50, KD-100, and KD-200, how can contractors make a precise selection? The key lies in matching the strata material properties with the processing capacity requirements.

KD-50: The Flexible Choice for Small-scale Projects

If your project involves small slurry balance shields, rotary bored piling, or horizontal directional drilling (HDD) with low processing volume requirements, the KD-50 compact slurry separation system is the optimal choice.
Application Scenarios: Urban pipeline pipe-jacking, pile foundation construction in narrow areas.
Selection Logic: Relatively stable strata with extremely high requirements for equipment footprint. With its minimal physical dimensions and rapid deployment capability, the KD-50 minimizes transportation and installation costs.

KD-100: The Balanced Tool for Small and Medium-sized Projects

The KD-100 system is specifically designed for small and medium-sized pile foundations and shield projects, with a structure that emphasizes modularity.
Core Configuration: Equipped with a combination shale shaker and a 12″ diameter desander cyclone.
Selection Logic: When the sand content in the strata is high, the secondary purification advantage of the KD-100 becomes prominent. After coarse screening, the mud enters the desanding module where the pump set effectively removes sand, followed by fine screening for drying and discharge, balancing processing speed with purification precision.

KD-200: The Performance Benchmark for Large and Complex Strata

For large-scale diaphragm walls, trench cutters (double-wheel milling), or high-intensity shield tunneling, the KD-200 slurry treatment system provides stronger throughput and a more capable solution for challenging strata.
Application Scenarios: High water content, high clay content, or complex and variable strata environments.
Selection Logic: When the processing requirement is large (e.g., above 200m³/h) and the strata materials are complex, the KD-200 utilizes a wider screen surface and more powerful drive configuration to ensure no mud leakage or clogging under heavy-duty loads.

Selection Summary

Space Considerations: Choose KD-50 for extremely limited sites.
Sand Content: Choose KD-100 with the desanding module for thick sand layers.
Project Scale: Choose KD-200 directly for large diaphragm walls or high-capacity operations.

Kosun KDS-500 Shield Slurry Treatment System

Since the introduction of slurry balance shield, the slurry separation and treatment system and equipment have appeared.During the construction of slurry shield, slurry treatment is one of the important factors affecting the normal tunneling of the shield, and directly affects the construction schedule, construction cost and environmental protection.The application of slurry shield, along with the tunnel construction, is gradually developed from the city edge to the city center.Due to the limitation of the construction site, the mud water treatment equipment must cover a small area and have a high treatment rate, so an efficient and integrated slurry treatment equipment has become the first choice of the owner and the construction unit.

Xi’an Kosun Environmental Engineering co.,LTD,It is a professional company providing integrated solutions of solid waste treatment in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection, focusing on the development and service of complete sets of technologies and equipment such as sludge reduction and resource utilization.

Kosun Environmental Engineering co., ltd. helps customers with sludge reduction and disposal services, including: general contracting of sludge treatment, sludge treatment mobile site services, sludge treatment package solutions.

Kosun KDS-500 shield slurry treatment system is a modular design system.The system is designed for mud purification in medium sized slurry balance shield construction projects.The KDS-500 system is composed of a coarse vibrating screen module and two sets of sand removal modules. The coarse vibrating screen module is equipped with a coarse screen for removing large particles, and the sand removal module is equipped with a desander hydrocyclone and a fine vibrating screen.

The slurry falls into the collecting box through the coarse vibrating screen, and then is separated and transported to two sets of sand removal modules through two connecting pipes. The sand removal module is equipped with a desander hydrocyclone, which can remove the sand in the slurry.After two levels of treatment, the effect of repeated circulation can be achieved.
