Elgin Separation CSI-H4 Vertical Cuttings Dryer

CSI Vertical Cuttings Dryers Cyclone Pro™ H-Series are the world’s first electronically controlled hydraulic-driven dual-drive dryer on the market today. This novel technology allows operators the ability to adjust the performance of the dryer based on the nature of the solids being fed to it.
Overview
The CSI-H4 is part of our industry-leading Vertical Cuttings Dryer product line—recognized as the most reputable VCD platform in the market, with more than 850 dryers delivered worldwide.
Built as a high-spec floor unit, the CSI-H4 integrates:
- Patented dual-drive technology for adjustable G-force and dwell time
- Patented electric-over-hydraulic control architecture
- Hydraulic power unit for superior torque output
- Explosion-proof control panel and motors
This combination of technologies makes the CSI-H4 the first VCD manufactured with a hydraulic power unit—delivering higher torque than traditional belt-driven or lubrication dependent systems.
The result: more aggressive moisture reduction, higher throughput, and improved reliability in both oil-based and water-based drilling fluid applications.
