Issues impacting shaker screen life

Screen itself quality, proper size selection, drilling mud property, legal operation and maintenance. Furthermore, the features of solids to be processed are impacting screen performance too.

If screen quality is poor, we may have to replace it within hours. Or we compare replacement with original one and the replacement ones may only last 1/4 time of genuine screen life. At the same drilling condition, same mud, same solid content or property.

When we get high quality screen, but we use it improperly the screen life will be very short as poor quality ones. For example, we drill well deeps about 10000ft and 12 1/4" hole with large content shale and sand the proper screen should be API 170. If we select API 230 or more finer, the screens will be broken rapidly as the high abrasion on screen surface with fine wire screen.

Shaker operation when screen broken

Although we operated shaker, and screens legally per manual and the instruction we have to replace screen panel if there is broken or damage. Or we can repair screens instantly with repair plugs. If shaker screens are broken with large area, please replace them in time thus we'll have great performance on shaker.

Screen broken holes prevent high efficiency separation on cuttings. Thus the subsequent procedure will be not effective neither. So we need to check shakers and the shaker screen to make sure all is in good condition

We kindly suggest don't operate shaker with deep broken screen panel. Also pay attention on screen gasket under frame or back plate.

Usually, we'll be asked by customer "how long will you screen last?". To be honest, we can't give the definite answers immediately as different users operate screens under condition vary much. This will lead dramatically different result or performance

For example, we sent same screens to 2 different users. They both are very satisfied with our screens. But, one user told us the screen sample last 180hours the other user told us the screen sample last 440hours. They both compared our screen with original shaker screens. We also ever sent same screens to another 2 different users. One told us they were unsatisfied as screen panel last only 3days, but another one told us screen panel last 14 day.

Then we tracked this batch shaker screens we found someone record screens by mistake. He marked old shaker screens as new one to be delivered but new ones were left on shelf. It's ridiculous but it did happen... And we checked the production time even earlier than 2014.

We are sincerely sorry to bring our valued user such inconvenience. We'll send same quantity screens ASAP and we'll pay all freight charge as compensation. After this issue, we found the shaker screens shelf life is not as long as we expected(2-3years). As we know some shaker screen panels will be fabricated with glue and rubber. If we put panels in stock long time the screens itself may be broken and after short time it will break down seriously. Aipu kindly suggest you set shaker screens shelf life to be 1-1.5 year.
