the wire anchor. The drum is partly grooved to support the r
wire on the first wrap around the drum.
The drum freely rotates on a bearing, creating a
compression force on the load cell. During slip-and-cut the e
drum rotates to allow drill line to be easily pulled through.
The Deadline Anchor is delivered with an accurate
electronic load cell for further connection to the drilling
instrumentation system.
The Deadline Anchor is fixed to a horizontal foundation in
the Derrick using 4 bolts.

DESCRIPTION
DLA Frame q
The DLA Frame is made of high-quality, heat treated and
tested steel to meet the high demands and satisfy the
strong safety requirements. The Frame is the support
structure which contains a base plate, a slanting, tapered
column for the Wire Drum and a tapered column for the
load cell.
Torque Arrest Arm w

The Torque Arrest Arm assembly, consisting of the
torque arm, the torque guide and the turnbuckle. In the
operational stage the Wire Drum is stopped by the Torque
Arrest Arm, which also transfers the Drill Line load to the
measuring Load Cell.

Wire Guide
The Wire guide is used to generate the needed adjustment
pressure for the nested Drill Line in the Wire Drum, in
order to incorporate the Drill Line untwisted.

6.6.1 Time of Cleaning

Clean contamination from drilling from the DLA regularly.
The Equipment should be cleaned thoroughly at the end
of each shift at the latest. Also observe the instructions in
Chapter .
6.6.2 Procedure and Cleaning Agents

FORUM Handling Tools recommends cleaning the DLA
with a high pressure steam cleaner.
Use it to clean the body thoroughly from inside and

7 Storage / Disposal
This chapter deals with procedures to be taken to the
storage after the decommissioning of the DLA. The
aim is to protect the Equipment, the environment and
people from damages. Therefore FORUM Handling Tools
recommends to read and implement the following
procedure accurately.
7.1 Packing Requirements

All goods to be packed to a standard affording protection
against modern handling hazards, and for storage under
severe climatic conditions, the latter including exposure to
wind- driven rain and fine dust or sand, with a very high
environmental humidity.
The contents of all cases or crates to be secured to ensure
uncontrolled free movement in any direction within the
case are impossible. Care is taken to place heavy items at
the bottom of a crate, and lighter articles nearer the top.
Types and Methods of Packing Fig. 33: Correct Storage I

• Special steel cradle for special equipment
• Cable drums
• All suitable materials to be palletised.
• Bundling
• All goods are packed to a standard affording protection
against modern handling hazards, and for storage
under severe climatic conditions.
• Cardboard/fibreboard cartons consolidated on standard
pallets.
• Wooden cases, strapped with two steel bands, secured
under tension with the crimped steel fasteners.
