Screen installation procedure
Aipu Hunter-MG series shaker have four or three panels screen. And each shaker will be fitted with 2 wedges as standard configuration. Upon clients’ demand we’ll provide spare ones. Once screens are placed on the screen bde, wedges are driven between each screen edge and support bars on shaker sidewalls. The shaker screen bed is slightly crowned at the center causing screen frames to bow when wedges are forced in place. This prevents screens from “Whipping” up and down during shaker operation

Each screen is secured in place by two wedges, one per side. Always remove wedges with a dead blow hammer. Strike top handle section of wedges to loosen them. Remove screen panel. screen panels are removed and installed one at one time. Place the screen wedges in the wedge holders, located on the cable tower to prevent losing them during screen changes
Ensure screens are properly installed and firmly wedged into place. Wet screens with base fluid prior to running drilling fluid. When we apply flow of fluid please be slow at first to avoid flooding screen panels.
Furthermore, keep fluid end point at 65%~75% coverage of the screening surface for optimal performance. Please never clean or brush screen with wire or stiff fiber brush
