The SRU™ closed-loop system is transforming drilling operations worldwide, reducing environmental impact and footprint of the drill site.
The unit’s high-speed decanting centrifuge is specifically adapted for diamond drilling, operating up to 3,000rpm, to remove solids to less than 5 microns and keep drilling fluid in excellent rheological condition. By maintaining clean, non-abrasive mud, the AMC SURFACE SRU™ is able to reduce mud and water consumption, the occurrence of stuck pipe, wear and tear on drilling components, overall downtime, and allow personnel to focus on the drilling operations, rather than monitoring and mixing mud.
The AMC SURFACE SRU™ works by circulating drilling fluid directly from the drill collar to be processed by the shaker and centrifuge, where drill solids are separated from the mud slurry and discharged via a waste chute. After being processed, cleaned drilling fluids flow into a tank for return to the drill rig. A conveniently positioned mixing system can be used to blend products intro drilling fluids in this tank.
Our equipment is available for sale or rental and may be subject to availability in your country. Manufactured under a quality system certified as complying with ISO 9001 by an accredited certification body. Results may vary due to fluid properties and solids contents, please consult your nearest AMC technical specialist to achieve optimum performance.

The AMC 1000 SC™ provides an innovative alternative to fluid sumps, offering solids control to optimise drilling fluid and drilling efficiency. The unit processes solids up to 260gpm / 1000Lpm, and incorporates high flow shakers suitable for HDD, mud rotary, diamond drilling and chip-core operations (up to 12 ¼” diameter for top hole drilling).
The AMC Underground Solids Removal Unit™ (UG SRU™) enables recycling of drilling fluid in underground operations, delivering significant savings and productivity benefits. The UG SRU™ closed-loop system reduces the volume of mud and water required for underground operations, reducing operational costs and creating a safer working environment.
The AMC 2000 M™ is a self contained system enabling quick and efficient mixing of drilling fluids on site. The unit’s powerful high shear venturi mixing system allows for fast addition and provides a continuous workflow to improve efficiency in HDD, waterwell, microtunneling and deep drilling operations.
