When choosing a shaker, you want to make sure you make the right decision. After all, no one wants a rickety shaker that can’t withstand heat. So when you’re looking for the perfect shaker, keep these tips in mind. Whether you shake shale for work or pleasure, choosing a shaker with high handling capacity, strong vibration intensity, quality materials, and low maintenance costs will ensure top-notch product quality. Happy shaking!

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.

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.

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.

In the first stage of solid control system, the shale shaker plays a crucial role. The drilling cuttings are separated from the drilling fluid or mud, enabling the recovery and reuse of the drilling fluid while removing solid waste. Of course, in the process of using the shale shaker, sometimes there will be some failures, this article will take you to understand how to repair the common failure of the shale shaker.

The most prone to failure of the shaker is the motor and drive shaft. Today we first understand the motor may occur failure and how to repair the shale shaker:

Repair the shale shaker- both motors can not rotate

Possible reasons for power failure include a shutdown of the main power supply. Investigate the cause and solve it. In the first, check the isolator or switch to ensure it is in the correct position. If off, turn it on to diagnose the problem. Next, verify the power connection and wiring for secure connections and no damage. Inspect the fuse or circuit breaker, as blowing or tripping them can disrupt the power supply. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker to restore motor function. Step-by-step examination of isolators, power supply, and fuses can identify and address issues.

The situation is that a motor cannot rotate

the main reason is the thermal overload setting, which needs to be reset to the correct setting. After resetting the thermal overload, reconnect the motor to the power supply and turn it back on. If the thermal overload protection trips repeatedly or if the motor does not rotate after resetting Settings, there may be a potential problem that causes overheating or current depletion. In this case, we recommend consulting a qualified electrician or motor technician for further troubleshooting and repair.

The motor fails after starting

Possible causes for motor failure include a blown fuse or an internal motor issue. To diagnose the problem, follow these steps:

• Check the fuse: Locate the fuse associated with the motor and check for any blown or damaged fuses. Replace with the same grade if necessary.
• Test the power supply: Ensure the circuit breaker or main switch is on and check for any electrical problems or interruptions.
• Check the motor connection: Inspect the wires, terminal connections, and signs of damage or overheating. Repair or replace any damaged parts.
• Ensure that the connected equipment does not overload the motor by checking for motor overload. If necessary, reduce the load or consider a higher power rating motor.
• Test the motor: Disconnect the motor from the power supply and use a multimeter or continuity tester to check for continuity or resistance in the windings. Lack of continuity or resistance indicates an internal motor failure.

Consult the AIPU for further assistance if a qualified technician confirms a motor fault.
