Shaanxi Xixian New Area Zhongcheng Machinery Manufacturing's Cuttings Box represents a professional-grade sealed containment system engineered for safe collection, storage, and transfer of drilling waste in demanding oil and gas operations. Our units' dual handling modes—integrated forklift pockets and 4-point lifting lugs—allow for effective transportation between offshore platforms and onshore drilling locations. They are constructed with marine-grade sealed construction. Each unit is subjected to strict ISO 9001/14001/45001 quality control, with adjustable volumes ranging from 2.7m³ to 3.0m³ and a Maximum Gross Weight capability of 10,000kg. Our systems meet international requirements, such as DNV 2.7-1 and ISO 12944 C5-M anti-corrosive protection for prolonged service life in corrosive drilling conditions, thanks to certifications from HSE, TÜV, and BV.
Equipment that can endure severe mechanical stress and corrosive environments is essential for your drilling operations. Heavy-duty carbon steel (S235JR or S355J2 grade) with reinforced structural ribs is used in the building of our cutting box.
The anti-corrosive coating system satisfies ISO 12944 C5-M category requirements. This offers better defense against saltwater conditions typical of offshore applications, synthetic-based fluids, and oil-based muck.
Each weld is subjected to Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), which includes Dye Penetrant Inspection (DPI) and Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI). Before units leave our 6,300-square-meter manufacturing facility, these quality controls find microfractures.
Load testing at 2.5 times the Maximum Gross Weight establishes structural integrity. This ensures your device functions reliably under cyclic lifting activities across years of service.

Environmental protection remains non-negotiable in modern drilling operations. Our vacuum-tight lid design incorporates oil-resistant nitrile or neoprene gaskets that prevent VOC emissions and fluid leakage.
Hydrostatic leak testing fills each unit with water under pressure. This process guarantees 100% seal integrity before shipping to your site within 3 days for in-stock models.
The fully enclosed design eliminates dust spillage during shale shaker discharge collection. You'll maintain compliance with MARPOL maritime environmental regulations and land-based waste management standards.
Our Cuttings Box supports Zero Discharge operations critical for ecologically sensitive zones. Whether you're operating in offshore Sea State 6 conditions or rainforest drilling sites, the sealed structure prevents soil and ocean contamination.
Offshore Platform Operations: Deck space optimization becomes possible through our stackable design. Units serve as the secure link between your shale shakers and supply vessels, maintaining integrity even during rough sea conditions.
Onshore High-Standard Sites: Remote terrestrial drilling in wetlands or protected areas requires secondary containment that prevents hazardous waste leakage. Our units transport contaminated materials across rugged terrain without environmental impact.
Solid Control System Integration: Seamlessly collect dried cuttings from cutting dryers, screw conveyors, and centrifuges. The large feeding opening accommodates varying discharge heights from your existing equipment.
Urban Waste Management: Specialized applications include chemical plant decommissioning where vacuum-sealed reliability meets public infrastructure transport requirements under strict no-leak mandates.
Your logistics efficiency improves through multi-modal transport capabilities. Integrated forklift pockets enable rapid ground-level movement across drilling pads and warehouse facilities.
The 4-point lifting lug system allows crane operations for vessel loading and high-elevation platform transfers. This dual-purpose design reduces handling time and labor costs during rig-to-shore transfers.
Paint treatment includes anti-rust and anti-corrosion properties that maintain structural appearance and functionality. Regular maintenance remains simple—units disassemble for thorough cleaning between deployment cycles.
Zhongcheng Machinery's 30+ years of manufacturing expertise enables flexible customization to match your specific operational requirements. We adjust volumetric capacity, reinforced structural elements, and sealing configurations based on your daily cutting output.
Our engineering team provides complete technical support packages including:
Factory-direct pricing eliminates intermediary costs. Our location in Xingping City, Xianyang provides convenient logistics access to Tianjin and Shanghai ports for international shipments.
With an annual production capacity of 200+ solid control system sets, we maintain inventory availability while accommodating batch customization orders. You receive dedicated project solutions from our professional service team throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Q: What volume should I select for my drilling operation?
A: Calculate based on your daily cutting output and discharge equipment height. Standard 2.7-3.0m³ units suit most shale shaker and cutting dryer applications. Contact our engineers at oliver@zcgukong.com for customized volume recommendations.
Q: How does the sealing system prevent leaks during transport?
A: Our vacuum-tight lids use oil-resistant nitrile gaskets tested through hydrostatic pressure methods. Each unit undergoes 100% seal integrity verification before shipping, ensuring zero spillage even during offshore vessel transfers.
Q: Can the box withstand corrosive drilling fluids?
A: Yes. The ISO 12944 C5-M coating system offers defense against salty conditions, synthetic fluids, and oil-based muck. In challenging circumstances, routine anti-corrosion paint maintenance prolongs service life beyond ten years.
Q: What certifications validate quality standards?
A: Every unit is certified HSE, TÜV, and BV and complies with ISO 9001/14001/45001 management systems. With complete NDT weld inspection paperwork, offshore models satisfy DNV 2.7-1 and EN 12079 criteria.
Q: Do you provide installation and training support?
A: Definitely. Engineering drawings, operation manuals, and on-site staff training are all included in our technical package. Manufacturing flaws are covered by the one-year warranty, along with prompt post-purchase assistance.
Q: How quickly can you deliver to international drilling sites?
A: In-stock standard models ship within 3 days. Customized configurations deliver within 15 days from order confirmation. Our logistics partnerships ensure efficient transport to global oilfield locations through major Chinese ports.

We had an urgent need for a custom mud zero-discharge system for a coalbed methane project, and Zhongcheng delivered. Their engineering team locked in the designand shipped the full system in 45 days, and it integrated perfectly with our existing ZJ50 rig. On-site commissioning even finished ahead of schedule. Their technical know-how and speed are exactly what we need for time-sensitive projects.
