CORTEC Models CX3 and CXE-II Drilling/Extreme Service Chokes

CORTEC Model CXE-II Hydraulic Piston Actuated Choke

CORTEC Model CXE-II is a hydraulic double acting

piston actuated drilling choke. The piston design allows

for rapid flow control adjustments.

CORTEC Model CX3 Hydraulic or Electric Gear Actuated Choke

The CORTEC Model CX3 is a worm gear operated drilling choke that can be driven hydraulically or electrically. The gear assembly allows for very fine incremental flow control adjustments. The manual override provides added insurance that the operator will be able to maintain control in the event of a power loss.

ments. The block style body allows for the versatility to adapt

to a wide variety of end connections types including ANSI, API

and Threaded Union options. Manual override ability provides

end users added insurance that control ability will be maintained

in the event of power loss. The large bore 6” orifice provides

effective flow control in high flow rate operations such as deep

water managed pressure drilling. Chokes and control systems

can be configured to customer specifications upon request.

CORTEC Drilling/Extreme Service Chokes are designed to offer the oilfield operator increased service life and cost savings in high-pressure applications where substantial amounts of solids and abrasives are present. Models are designed for extreme conditions like frac flowback, drilling, choke & kill, coil tubing, well control and snubbing. Models Available in this line include: CX3, CXE-II, CXC2 and CX6.

In addition to the rugged design of the choke internals, CORTEC recognizes the need for field friendly options to round out a complete operating system.

� Control Consoles to include the electronic hardware / software to control either hydraulically or electrically actuated chokes for total system responsibility.

� Gantry Systems are available on most models to allow the operator to slide and rotate the bonnet assembly for quick, relatively easy trim changes or maintenance

� Manifold / Skid Systems designed, assembled and tested as a complete system with single source responsibility.
