Shaker screen quality is important issue for whole shaker performance. How Aipu solids ensure screen quality? What are the main issues we do?

Shaker screen quality composition

To know the composition of quality we have to know shaker screen structure or materials. Some shaker screens are framed screen panel, some are hook strip screen.

For framed screen panel, the frame quality will impact shaker screen quality certainly. Aipu screen is manufactured using high quality national standard carbon steel tube with high yield. All specifications including thickness, elements are conform with national or int'l standard

Shaker screen quality

Dimensional tolerances are ensured with the use of machined welding fixtures. Each frame is inspected and checked for flatness before the screen manufacture process begins

Regards the screen cloth. High quality stainless steel wire mesh is the essential insurance. Each roll of wire mesh cloth is checked for conformance to tolerances and visually inspected for weaving flaws before manufacture begins. All screens comply with API RP13C standard.

Why we suggest high quality screen for you?

Some clients ever asked me, why you don't sell screens at lower price? There are so many suppliers doing this, and so many users prefer lower price ones. Frankly speaking, we would like to expand our biz volume. We wish sell the screen up to 1000000 panels per year.

However, the users operating shaker, using screens will increase much much cost, time, and energy. Yes, for some screens, we are not sure for 400 hours service life. But high quality raw material, strict manufacture procedure will definitely give us more assurance than those lower cost ones.

Shaker performance

Shaker screen quality is not only the usable life. But also the performance, filtration efficiency, the accurate cut point, the cost-efficiency, the general true ratio between quality and cost.

We sincerely wish all of our customers feel happy and satisfied with Aipu screens. From appearance to our after-sales. From the price to the performance. As professional screen manufacturer, of course we know how to control or cut cost. But we trust, reasonable price will let us go further and better.

Aipu quality shaker screen

Aipu shaker screen quality is known as high level among all our users. Aipu screen price is known as good one. Not the highest one, neither the lowest one. But trust, ours is best one, the most reasonable one

We can provide you lower price screen. If you insist we'll make it according to your budget. Trust you'll find their difference easily.

Why shale shaker screen is important? Presently, almost well drillings will request solids control or drilling fluid system. Removing solids from drilling fluid is fundamental to drilling performance. As per decades experience solids control is proven a wide range of benefits, including but not limited to: increased drilling penetration, reduction in mud costs, reduction in disposal costs, and increased bit life. By and large, increased solids removal equates to lower drilling costs for the operator

Shaker screen in drilling mud system

Shaker screen is critical wearing part of shale shaker. So the shaker screen is very important for whole drilling mud system. Better shaker screen will provide better performance and filtration efficient to shale shaker then affect whole mud system even whole well drilling

Shale shakers are the first line of defense for a properly designed solids control system. Shakers have been used on drilling rigs since the 1940’s and are a significant part of the drilling process. Shale shakers work by removing solids from drilling fluid as the mud passes over the surface of a shaker screen. The liquid portion of the mud and solids pass through the screen while larger solids fall off the back end and are thus discarded.

Drilling fluids are a key aspect of the drilling process and often lubricate & cool the drill bit and take drilled cuttings from the borehole. Shakers still remain the backbone of any solids control system. As time has progressed, so have these technologies; more advanced and efficient designs have been cultivated including shaker screen technology.

API RP13C for shale shaker screen

Shaker screen selection ever faced a problem. As different manufacturers will configure screen with different size wire mesh, etc. This will lead inconvenience even problems to operators during drilling. So presently, screen conforms to API 13C is one important issue concerning quality

For example, one manufacturer told their screen is 140 mesh, however it equals to API 120. Another manufacturer told their screen is 120 mesh and equals to API 120, too. So when we need screen sized API 120, we just tell the API number will be ok. During drilling and shaker operation the proper selection will help to get more ideal separation result

The American Petroleum Institute (API) screen designation has become the standard for the identification of screen panels in the oil & gas industry. API designates the micron opening size (cut point) and the conductance in which the liquids pass through the screen

Aipu shaker screens are in compliance with API labeling practices that includes: API designation, conductance in kD/mm, D100 value, and non-blanked open area in square feet. Our shaker screen are API rated and tested by third party agencies to meet the stringent requirements of API RP 13C

More about shaker screen quality

Of course this is not only issue affecting quality but it is a important reference for clients' option on shaker screen supplier. Other quality issues including wire mesh quality, rubber seal stability， etc.

Just as we talked just now, proper shaker screen selection is reduction in mud costs/disposal costs while increase bit life. In short, proper drilling mud process is rather important and shaker screen is important in drilling mud system

Some clients treat the service life as the only factor to evaluate quality. Actually, it's not reasonable. The quality should be based on separation efficiency, operation convenience, and so on. You may have different comments, please leave it below
