Elgin’s Smart-Panel Automation: Maximize Fluid Recycling Operations
Experience the future of fluid recycling with Elgin’s “Smart-Panel” Automation Package with our KEMTRON Packaged Mud Systems. Designed for contractors who demand performance, efficiency, and control, the Smart-Panel transforms your KEMTRON System into the industry’s first wireless automated mud recycler.
At the core of this innovation is a proprietary onboard networking system that creates a secure local Wi-Fi signal. Forget wired remote pendants. Now, operators can control and monitor their entire mud system from a smartphone, tablet, or PC—from up to 2,000 feet away. Whether you’re on-site or managing from a distance, the Smart-Panel delivers unmatched flexibility.
This powerful system provides for the lowest operator cost for managing your mud recycling process. With integrated level and pressure sensors, pumps respond automatically to real-time conditions. When the dirty tank hits 95% capacity, the trash pump shuts off to prevent overflows, restarting only once levels drop below 40%. Meanwhile, the transfer pump kicks in based on clean tank readings, shutting down at 20% to prevent cavitation and resuming at 65% to maintain flow.
Critical components like the hopper and desilter centrifugal pumps are protected by electronic interlocks. If pressure readings fall outside of optimized thresholds, the pumps shut down and trigger an alert, minimizing wear and downtime. This ensures hydrocyclones and mud hoppers operate consistently at peak efficiency, optimizing separation and mixing.
Beyond operational ease, the Smart-Panel enhances system longevity and provides data transparency. All operational and fault data are logged via the integrated software, making it easy for performance review or billing purposes.
No other system in the market offers this level of smart automation and remote accessibility. With the Smart-Panel Automation Package, Elgin is setting a new standard in mud system technology—giving your crew more control, greater efficiency, and peace of mind on every jobsite.
