The cost of shaker screens means the quality in some degree. And besides that, cost means service quality, too. Why do we talk about the quality and cost relation again and again? We always face questions from clients " Why is the price of your screen higher than others' "

Price of Aipu Shaker Screen

Frankly speaking, our screens price is reasonable and cost-effective. We make screen panels with high quality raw material from reliable and stable suppliers. For example, the wire mesh material stainless steel wire. Although the suppliers or manufacturers tell theirs are high quality S.S304 when you check the mill test or quality certificate you'll find something on the percentage of main content, such as Ni, Cr, and so on

Cost of shaker screens

Besides the difference of content, the opening of screen cloth and the wire diameter affect quality, too. Some wire mesh manufacturers wave screens with even wire with good content features, while some use materials at a lower grade quality. Finally, the screen surface reflects the difference.

Price of Aipu shaker screen is from USD50 to USD140, these are the panels used on shale shakers for oil and gas drilling mud solids control. Different price is because of different model number or screen panel size. For example, the soft hook strap screen is at price about USD50, while corrugated screen panel for HYP shaker is about USD120. Moreover, the price of flat panel is USD90, while the corrugated panel is about USD110 for the same model and same mesh size screen.

Prices of screens made by other suppliers

In China, there are tens of manufacturers making shaker screens. Yes, a hundred suppliers will quote a hundred prices. Why are there different levels? And the difference even up to 50%. For example, our soft hook strap screen is USD60 while others may quote USD30; the composite framed screen is USD90 while others quote USD60.

The difference is among appearance/surface, raw material, package, services and so on. In the materials, there are wire mesh, supporting layer, internal frame tube and so on.

Shaker screens cost

Let's take the composite framed screens as an example. We use plastic powder, fibreglass, carbon and colour powder as the composite injection material. And use the national standard carbon steel tube &  steel bar to weld internal supporting frame.  Then we inject the materials on the steel frames.

Difference is from different plastic, carbon, steel, tehcnique, and the manufacture procedure, as well as machine capability. These will all affect frame quality and then the whole screen panel quality.

At the same time, some suppliers pack screens in think cartons and put them on the pallets or wihout pallets to save cost. Aipu pack screens as cartons inside plywood case outside or plywood pallets outside wrapped with film. We'll pack them according to clients' requirements and shipment methods.

Yes, the final cost and price are very different then.

How to get the screens priced reasonably?

Kindly suggest buyers and users seeking professional suppliers. They should be in oil and gas industry, professional in shaker screens, well drilling mud equipment and related products. Because they will always face different demand from different customers. They have sufficient experience of different working conditions can provide optimal solutions to a certain job site.

Asking some different suppliers the price of shaker screens; asking them for detail technical specification, inquiring them to provide the samples. When you receive the samples, check all panels on appearance including packages, surface, back strip(if there is). Then you'll remove some poor quality panels. Finally, install screens on shaker to check their performance. Please pay attention here, not only consider the screens life but also the screen filtration efficiency and separation accuracy, also general mud cost saved.

Considering all above issues then confirm if the screens are cost-effective. You'll get the objective answer and optimal solutions

Shaker screen price can be said the most important issue that our clients care. What are the issues affecting shale shaker screen price? Another important issue is the delivery, how could we satisfy customers?

Shaker screen price

We know shale shaker screen consist different parts made of different materials. All these parts cost affect shaker screen price. Such as the wire mesh(screen cloth), it can be made of high quality S.S316L or S.S302. The price then will be definitely different. We also have polyurethane screen with high durability and high price

Furthermore, the screen frame or support frame. If we select high quality standard carbon steel with advanced equipment to punch and weld frame the screen will be effective, reliable, durable. Of course the price or cost will be higher than screens made by low-level equipment with bad quality material.

Shale shaker screen feedback

Another issue affecting price is shaker screen model or size. Such as Derrick FLC 500 series screen, NOV Brandt King Cobra series screen, MI-Swaco Mongoose type screen, etc. Screen area and complete shaker screen model or design will lead price difference

Shale shaker screen delivery

Shaker screens are consumable for shale shakers. To ensure well drilling proceed successfully and effectively we must get all necessary parts available at field. Sometimes, drilling condition is rather difficult shaker screen may be broken very soon. We need sufficient wearing screens or we must make sure all spare screen will be at drilling site on time

Shaker Screen panel

So, almost clients will request us to send shaker screen in short delivery. What will affect delivery then? The raw material purchase, the produce schedule, the clients' demand. But consider further issues, such as produce or process equipment or machines will affect whole produce efficient of the screen factory

Under clients' urgent demand we may change common produce schedule. If no extra cost occurred we'll not quote higher price as the expense. If some urgent arrangement result much higher cost we'll request it from customer as well

Shaker screen is treated as important wearing part for shale shaker. Almost shale shaker screens panel consist following parts. The structure including frame, the back plate, then the screen cloth, seal rubber, etc. Lets find shaker screen features below.

Shaker screen frame

Much like a canvas for painting a screen has to be supported on a frame in order to do its job, this frame differs among manufacturers in both material and shape. Materials such as square steel tubing, flat steel sheets, plastic, composites, or strips of steel (similar to a scroll) can be used to make screen frames. But the polyurethane screen doesn't request frame only need 1 square rod on each side as support

The frames comprise a rectangular-shaped outer perimeter that divides into small individual inner panels. Manufacturers produce these smaller panels in varying shapes such as square, hexagonal, and even triangular. And even on one panel screen, the holes can be different size. Such as NOV Brandt VSM300 series screen. Shaker screen frame is also related with shaker screen price

Wire mesh of screen panels

We know wire mesh or screen cloth is important part of shaker screens. So the mesh is another critical feature of shaker screens just like thread is woven together to create cloth, metal wire can be woven to create a metal cloth. Screen mesh has evolved over many years of competitive screen manufacturing resulting in very thin yet strong cloth designed to maximize screen life and conductance as well as to provide a consistent cut point.

Different shape of holes on screen cloth will affect screen efficiency or performance so the API designation will be different.

To increase the conductance of a mesh screen, you must minimize the amount of material in the way, achieved by either reducing the wire diameter or weaving the cloth to produce rectangular openings. Rectangular openings increase the screens conductance while minimizing the effect on its cut point where as square openings provide a more consistent cut point but offer a lower conductance.

We can't mark our screen panel as API RP13C standard if we don't test the Aipu shaker screen by professional party. The screen mesh size is a bit different with API size. Since API size designation will include the cut point, the conductance, the non blank area.

Shaker screen life

Evaluate screen panels quality, screen life is first issue to consider. To maximize screen life most manufacturers build their screens with multiple layers of mesh over a very sturdy backing cloth to further protect the cloth against solids loading and wear.

The multiple layers of screen act as a de-blinding mechanism pushing near sized particles, which may get stuck in the openings, out of the mesh reducing blinding issues and keeping the shaker screen surface available for use.

Although the performance of these shaker screens is quite impressive the only way to truly gauge the performance of any screen is to try it out and collect comparative data of your own. Under different working condition the same shaker screens will reflect different performance. Please do involve all issues when select or level the shaker screens
