Less downtime
Target fewer interruptions and a shorter return to operation.
Platforms & rigs
Resonant vibration for better industrial processes
Potential applications on drilling rigs, offshore platforms and service bases. Start where recurring material blockages cause downtime, then validate the result on the actual equipment.
Downtime comes first.
Reliable material flow
Assess recurring blockages in selected hoppers and transfer points.
Faster cleaning
Measure discharge time, manual interventions and retained material.
Where the first pilot can start
Choose one documented bottleneck in a service base or an auxiliary system. Each mounting position requires equipment-specific engineering.
Barite, bentonite and cement silos
Assess the outlet cone where bridging or adhesion interrupts powder supply. Candidate: an engineered external RVS mounting bracket.
Mud mixing hopper
Assess the dry inlet where additives hang up. Candidate: the external hopper wall, with guards and mixing performance preserved.
Cuttings transfer
Assess receiving hoppers and transfer chutes around screw conveyors. Candidate: a local external support, separate from shafts, bearings and drives.

Potential applications and mounting areas
Selected locations from the application study. Availability and suitability depend on the facility; these are candidates for assessment, not approved mounting instructions.
Dry bulk materials · RVS / RVC
Barite, bentonite and cement silo outlets; surge and weighing hoppers; bag-opening and big-bag stations; powder feeder inlets; gravity chutes and dust-collector hoppers.
Mud preparation · RVS / RVI / RVC
Dry mixing-hopper inlet; polymer and lost-circulation-material feeders; barite pre-mixing vessels; active, reserve and return mud tanks; brine preparation. Immersion applications need separate validation.
Solids separation and cuttings · RVS / RVC
Gumbo separator outlet; external centrifuge cake discharge; cuttings dryer inlet; screw-conveyor receiving and transfer points; pneumatic and vacuum collection hoppers. Shaker modifications require OEM review.
Waste handling · RVS / RVI / RVC
Supported cuttings containers; feed hoppers before cuttings-reinjection grinding; slurry preparation before the pump; thermal-treatment inlet and outlet hoppers.
Cementing and support systems · RVS / RVI / RVC
Dry-additive hoppers; cement slurry, spacer and grout preparation vessels; service-base concrete; dewatered sludge outlets and powdered water-treatment reagents.
Drilling tools are a separate development programme
Sonic drilling heads, drill-string friction reduction, casing and liner deployment, casing excitation during cementing, coiled-tubing tools and ROV contact tools require dedicated development. The existing RVS has no confirmed downhole application.
Engineering before installation
Review structural dynamics and fatigue, the mounting bracket, air supply, exhaust and the facility’s hazardous-area requirements. Pneumatic drive alone does not establish Ex suitability. Pressure vessels and certified containers require approval before modification. Do not excite rotating assemblies or suspended containers.
Measure recovered operating time
Compare downtime minutes per 100 tonnes or per equal number of cycles, blockage frequency, restart time, air consumption and process quality. The operator must establish whether a local delay affects the drilling critical path; local time saved is not automatically rig downtime avoided.
Industrial pilotOne recurring blockage. One measurable pilot.
Send equipment photos, material information, a mounting drawing and a downtime record. We will assess a suitable configuration and agree on success criteria.
