The shale shaker is an essential piece of equipment in the oil and gas drilling industry. It is often used in the initial stage of the solids control system. Its role is to separate solids and liquids during the oil and gas drilling process. It helps to remove rock chips and other large particles from the drilling fluid, allowing it to be reused in the drilling process.

Hunter MG3

The AIPU Hunter-MG range of shale shaker is capable of effectively separating particles larger than 74 um.

Main components of shale shaker

The shale shaker components of a vibrating motor, screen panels, feeder trough, and basket or deck.

The AIPU Hunter-MG series of shale shakers utilize Ital-Vibras/Martin/Oli brand vibrating motors. For users, using brand-name motors can reduce downtime and maintenance costs, and provide reliable technical support and after-sales service in case of motor problems, thus avoiding unnecessary inconvenience for users. In addition, utilizing brand-name motors can ensure efficient equipment operation and provide the necessary vibration power while maintaining low energy consumption.

At the same time, users can choose between an iron frame or a composite frame for the screen material. Customization is also supported by the use of electric motors. This allows customers in different countries to manufacture products according to their own country's electrical requirements. In addition, the system can be customized to include double or triple screens, based on the user's requirements.

Different vibration modes of shale shaker

Linear motion shakers, elliptical motion shakers, balanced elliptical motion shakers, and dual motion shale shakers exist. Currently, the linear motion shaker remains popular with most users. Compared to other types of shakers, it provides a higher processing capacity.

Screen blockage and the horseshoe effect often hinder the operation of the linear motion shaker. Because the cuttings or harmful solids have irregular shapes with sharp edges, many particles will become lodged in the holes of the screen surface. And then, a more and more similar problem arises. Finally, there will be a spacious jam area overall.

Furthermore, due to the blockage on the screen cloth and the properties of the drilling mud, drilling fluids may become jammed on the screen surface. This will result in lost mud, decreased filtration efficiency, and increased costs.

What about the elliptical motion shaker? In the early days, elliptical shakers were not balanced. So, we also refer to it as an irregular circular motion shaker. The features of these shakers include lower cost, reduced capacity, but slightly improved filtration results. Since the material moves in a circular track, it avoids blocking on the screen. Under the force of gravity and drilling fluid pressure, solids will move away from screen holes more easily than under linear motion.

In reference to the balanced elliptical motion shaker, yes, it is a combination of linear and elliptical motion shaker. The balanced elliptical motion shaker can eliminate screen blocking or jamming as well as the horseshoe issue. Compared to an elliptical motion shaker, it can handle a larger capacity of material simultaneously.

High-quality replacement screens are the panels holding long service life, high performance of the filtration. Furthermore, high-quality screens holding an accurate separation point or cut point.

Why we need high-quality screens?

The high-quality screens help drilling fluids pass through the panel effectively. Because it holds high conductance relatively. It holds the accurate cut point to help remove harmful solids at a certain drilling stage

Replacement screens

Moreover, a relative longer service life will save time and cost for the whole well drilling. For example, if you had used screens last 100 hours when you use screens last 70 hours the cost is dramatically different.

How to verify screens quality?

High-quality replacement screens features, we have talked this before. We need to check the appearance or surface of screen panel itself. Before unpacking it, we'd better check the package and the labels, too

Besides appearance, if possible, we need to check the screen size and mesh size. If it is accurate and conform to ordered items. Then we use or test screen panels. Under the same working condition, we consider the quality according to service life and separation performance

Performance is separation efficiency. The separation affects solids or cuttings percentage may impact further drilling. If we remove particles effectively and exactly the screen will wear normally. Then service life is relatively longer

We can test fluids under the shaker to check the screen cut point accuracy and its performance. Also, we can test the solids to check the screen mesh size.

What type of high quality screen we have?

There are many different types of screen panels. Including replacement screen for NOV Brandt Venom series, for VSM300 series. Also the replacement panels for M-I SWACO Mongoose, MD, and the ALS series. Furthermore, the replacement screen for DP600, HYP, FLC series, and so on

The panels including steel frame, composite frame, flat panel and the panel with waves from side view.

Wire mesh screens are referred as the shale shaker screen. Wire mesh is the main material of screen panel, it can be said the key issue of screen quality.

Why wire mesh screens are important to shaker?

Wire mesh screens is the filtration medium on shaker. The exact cut point or separation point will help to get clean drilling fluids without cuttings. Durable wire mesh cloth will last long time during operation. The high-quality S.S wire mesh will have a better corrosion-resistant performance, as well as a better performance of the abrasion-resistant

wire mesh screens

So we have to make sure the raw material qualified and keep screens high-quality. How to select high quality wire mesh? The raw material of wire should be supplied along with the mill test report, and inspect wire roundness. Or check the wire mesh product with the measuring meter to tell specs and content. Only with the high quality essential materials the shaker screen life and performance are assured.

What is the high-quality wire mesh?

Wire mesh defined the wire mesh screens quality. So the even roundness of wire, the even and exact opening, the high grade of stainless steel, and so on are the issues of high quality wire mesh

How to get high quality shaker screen panels

From the wire mesh cloth to the supporting frame. Checking the manufacturer or supplier qualification. Checking the information and files from supplier, if professional or not. Requesting the sample for test if possible

Provide the right actual working condition to suppliers and get the suggestion from them. Proper configuration should be based on your requirements and working condition. This will impact quality performance during operation

Shaker screen features will affect shale shaker performance per field practice. How they impact it? What is the detail?

What are the shaker screen features?

Based on API RP13C, the screen panel features including the cut point, the conductance, the non blanked area. What is the actual impact or issue? Cut point means under D100, the mesh size of solids separated out of materials. Such as 300microns, 63microns, and so on. The conductance is an important issue to define the screens filtration efficiency. And the non blanked area is another reference of effective filtration area.

Shaker screen features

If consider the screens thoroughly on many different aspects, there are features of screen form, screen quality, screen appearance, screen fitness or compatibility, shaker screen weight, and so on

What are good features of high quality shaker screen? The high conductance, the larger effective filtration area, as well as the exact cut point per API RP13C, and the right fit on shaker during operation. The applicability means the selection of certain screens for shaker will do help to enhance screen performance or get long life screens
