The Derrick ACD-1500™ Atmospheric/Centrifugal degasser is a unique, in-tank alternative to the standard Derrick vacuum-style Vacu-Flo™ 1200 degasser.
The Derrick ACD-1500 degasser agitates mud through a submerged 12” pump impeller relying on impact and turbulence to enable the separation of gas from the fluid. Strike plate adjustment of 0.25” to 1.25” allows variable flow capacity. The ACD-1500 degasser satisfies the NEC Class I, Division 1, Group C and D explosion proof electrical requirements for the equipment voltages 460V/3phase at 60Hz or 380V/3phase at 50Hz.
Founded by H. William Derrick Jr. in 1951, Derrick Corporation was created to solve some of the most challenging mechanical separation needs of the Mining Industry. At the heart of our present-day offering resides the Integrated Vibratory Motor which was invented by our founder and gave life to an entire line of innovative separation technology. To this day, our pioneering spirit pulses through the organization and inspires development of our leading-edge solutions.
