PRESSURE CONTROL
SERVICES
As the leader in Managed Pressure Drilling (MPD), Iron Horse Tools provides the most reliable and highest-quality chokes and related pressure control equipment in the industry. The state-of-the-art autochoke software has a level of innovation and efficiency that only Iron Horse equipment can provide.
AUTO CHOKES
About
Unlike other chokes in the industry, our Auto Chokes monitor mud line, casing and manifold pressure devices, removing interactions between the driller and the choke. The innovative design of the Iron Horse Auto Chokes provides increased efficiency and accuracy, enhancing overall performance. The auto choke system can run up to three chokes simultaneously or in various standby positions to handle plugging events and high flow situations.
Product Features
- Fully automated system
- Touchscreen operated
- Maintains any desired pressure
- Runs up to three chokes per panel
- Choke body can operate up to 15,000 PSI and hold 20,000 PSI static
- WITS communication
- Worm Gear
- Wells Kill System available
- Dual choke system capabilities
- Manual operations capabilities
Safety Features
- The Max Pressure setting clears chokes when excessive pressure builds upstream of the choke
- Utilizes Gantry System Performance Maintenance to minimize risk and downtime.
Triple Auto Choke System
The auto choke system can run up to three chokes simultaneously or in various standby positions to handle plugging events and high flow situations.
Additional Equipment Available for Auto Choke Systems
Gas Buster Level Sensor
- If the rig is interested in this, they will need to install a 6" pipe running top to bottom on the exterior of the buster with openings to buster at the bottom, middle and top of the buster. Our radar sensor is then installed on top of the pipe and sends the level of the fluid to the touchscreen and rig system via WITS. Alarms will sound on touchscreen and the rig system at the level they enter.
Liquid Catch Can Alarm
- This notifies the rig on the touchscreen and the rig system that the catch can is filling up. This works in conjunction with the alarm mounted on the catch can.

SUPER CHOKE
About
The Iron Horse Super Choke utilizes the Gantry System to make trim changes fast and easy. This product can be added to a choke, mounted vertically or horizontally, without any modification to choke or gantry. It also allows for safer trim changes when the choke is elevated.
Product Features
- Hydraulic actuator is motor-driven with manual override capabilities.
- Cutting-edge gate and seat design greatly reduces wear in extremely hostile flow situations
- Quick-release and lightweight actuator bonnet makes trim changes fast and easy.
- Solid tungsten carbide (micrograin) gate and seat.
- Trim design allows for very fine control of flow rates.
- Stellite-coated actuator bonnet nose can be rotated to provide even wearing around surface.
- Downstream spool design allows extension of protected area, eliminating the need for additional wear subs downstream of choke.
- Analog or highly accurate digital position indication available
- Available 2” and 3” maximum orifice trim.
- Unique design allows choke inlet and outlet to be configured for API, ANSI, Hammer Union or other connections simply by changing spools.
- Easy-to-use trim changeout tools.
Safety Features
- Allows for safer trim changes when choke is elevated.
- Available manual override capability with gear operator.
- Selection of standard worm gear operators to choose from with anti-backlash compensation.
- Tungsten carbide wear sleeve in outlet spool protects against erosion due to turbulence.
