LINDA "K" ROTARY SHALE EXTRACTOR

• COMPLETELY SELF PROPELLED, requiring
no power cost or power units to maintain
• SIMPLE IN CONSTRUCTION AND OPERA-
TION, only two moving parts, reduces maintenance
requirements
• HIGH MUD-CLEANING EFFICIENCY, reduc-
ing- wear and tear on pumps, swivel and rotary hose
« REDUCES MUD WASTE by keeping mud equal-'
ized
The Linda "K" is a completely automatic rotary
shale extractor with only two moving parts. Since it
is self-propelled by mud flow, it is automatic in oper-
ation, with no expensive power units to maintain.
Compact, rugged construction reduces maintenance
costs,
The long-life rotor drum is feather balanced and
rotates at a constant speed on two roller bearings,
regardless of the flow of mud. It has no chains, gears,
motors, steam turbines or belts to wear and maintain.
The Linda "K" has definitely superior mud capac-
ity, will handle any size pump, and is capable of
handling any mud regardless of how heavy the flow.
Convenient by-pass and dual mud trough. The above illustration shows the "Patented Tail-
10 years of field research, testing and drilling oper- ing Blades" inside the Linda "K" Screen. These
blades thoroughly separate and clean any mud, re-
