Shale shaker is used to separate drilling cuttings for first phase cleaning in a whole solids control system. Shale shaker are components of solids control equipment used in many industries, such as oil and gas drilling, coal bed methane( CBM ), horizontal directional drilling ( HDD ), diamond drilling, water drilling , etc . So, do you want to know how to choose the best shale shaker? Now, let's go!

So, you've got some shale to shake, huh? Well, whether you work in the oil and gas industry or are just a regular shaker enthusiast, you know that choosing the right shale shaker is crucial to achieving top-notch product quality. With so many options, it can be a little overwhelming. Have no fear, dear reader, because I'm here to help you navigate the rough waters of shale shaker selection.

How to choose the shale shaker

First, let’s talk about what an excellent vibrating screen is. You need to look for a vibrating screen with a high processing capacity so that it can handle the volume of shale you are processing. And don't forget about vibration intensity - you want a vibrator that can really shake things to separate solids from liquids.

But don’t worry, that’s not all! Product quality also depends on the materials used to construct the vibrating screen. Choose a product that is made from high-quality raw materials and undergoes rigorous heat treatment. After all, you want your shaker to be able to withstand the heat of the action, right?

Let's talk about maintenance.

No one wants to deal with tons of spare parts and sky-high maintenance costs. Look for vibrating screens that require few spare parts and little maintenance. Trust me, your future self will thank you for it.

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!

Solids control auxiliary equipment including the mud agitators, centrifugal pump, mud gun, and so on. Such auxiliary equipment will assist main equipment perform better.

Solids control auxiliary equipment function

Auxiliary equipment will enhance solids control efficiency. They will help get better mud property, provide the flow power, etc. For example, the mud agitators will help solid to suspend in drilling fluid. Thus we'll get stable mud property and make separation more easy.

Solids control auxiliary equipment

Besides agitator, the mud guns will mix drilling mud without dead corner. Guns mix the drilling fluid thoroughly.

Centrifugal pump transfer drilling mud from tank to equipment. Pump is also used as power supply for mixing pump, shear pump.

Mud agitator detail

Mud agitators are set on mud tank to mix drilling fluid by shaft and impeller. There can be horizontal and vertical agitators. The shaft and impeller are custom built items. According to tank size and mud property we'll configure different design

Helical bevel geared agitator are more compact and high efficient compared to worm and wheel geared motor. Usually, we suggest one set agitator per 3 meters on tank.

Mud gun information

Another solids control auxiliary equipment is mud gun. Mud guns are usually operated together with agitators. It will help us get rid of dead corner solids sediment in tank. Mud gun is set same as agitator, 3 meters per set on mud tank.

Drilling mud guns

Mud guns including high pressure, low pressure. One nozzle or multiple nozzle. The pivot type or bottom type. The handle is wheel, or just a handle rod.

Aipu Centrifugal pumps features

Centrifugal pumps in solids control are usually horizontal type. Centrifugal pump is used to transfer drilling mud from one equipment/tank to subsequent equipment. For example, pump suck drilling fluid from shake tank to desander cone. From desander cone to desilter cone.

Furthermore, there are mixing pump, shear pump, and trip pump in the whole drilling fluid system. For mixing pump, it is combined with mixing hopper and centrifugal pump on a common skid or separately. Pump will be connected directly to hopper or with a pipe.
