General information of shale shaker

Shale shaker is a general term for a vibrating device used to screen solids from a circulating drilling fluid.

Shale shakers are the most important and easiest-to-use solids-removal equipment. They are the first line of defense once drilling fluid is returned  from the well bore. In most cases, they are highly cost-effective. If shale shakers are used with torn screens, fluid bypassing screens, incorrectly sized screen panels, or worn parts, the remaining solids-removal equipment will not perform properly.

How a shale shaker screen fluid

The primary purpose of a shale shaker is to remove as many drilled solids as possible without removing excessive amounts of drilling fluid.
These dual objectives require that cuttings (or drilled solids) convey off the screen while simultaneously most of the drilling fluid is separated
and removed from the cuttings. Frequently, the only stated objective of a shale shaker is to remove the maximum quantity of drilled solids.
Stopping a shale shaker is the simplest way to remove the largest quantity of drilled solids. Of course, this will also remove most of the drilling
fluid. When disregarding the need to conserve as much drilling fluid as possible, the ultimate objective of reducing drilling costs is defeated.

Shaker screen of shale shaker

API Number: the sieve equivalent as per API RP 13C

Conductance: the ease with which a liquid can flow through the screen, with larger values representing higher volume handling

Microns: a unit of length equal to one-thousandth of a millimeter

Non-blanked area: an evaluation of the surface area available for liquid transmission through the screen

Advantages of Aipu shale shaker

We offer high quality products at competitive price.

Timely after-sale service.Shortest delivery time.Flexible payment terms.

Most of our equipment can be replaceable with international brands.

For the shaker motors, we use famous brand Oli or Martin. Some clients request a higher configuration level. Then the motors will be Ital-Vibras imported from Italy. High-quality motors will help much on stable performance and good result.

The deck angle can be adjusted easily by just screw the nut on the jackscrew. And angle should be adjusted according to actual working conditions. For example, when we need a high flow rate we need to make a deck with a small minus angle or in parallel to the ground. If we need better filtration or more dry solids, please make a deck with an uphill angle. The rotation can be clockwise or anti-clockwise
