TYPHOON v.3


Automated pipe handling systems have allowed many conventional rig floor tasks to become obsolete. Yet a fundamental operation – wiping the pipe when POOH, still relies on technology from the days of wooden derricks. With 100% Red Zone compliance a non-negotiable in today’s Drilling industry, there existed a gap in technology that RIGTOOLS identified and have solved with the TYPHOON v3.

Facts

The TYPHOON Wiper is tailor-made to fit on top of the diverter or bell nipple. It connects to the rig’s HP water system or a special HP unit fit for purpose. In addition LP air is connected for actuation of the rubber wiping blades.
Actuation of water/wiper blades can be done locally on the drill floor or remotely from Driller’s Cabin.
