Extra large shale shaker is the shaker holding large treating capacity. They are efficient and high productivity. They can be multiple deck or the multiple tandem.

Extra large shale shaker summary

They can be dual tandem, triple tandem or even quadruple tandem for large flow rate and a better treatment result. Some extra large shale shakers are the multiple deck shaker. Usually there are 2 decked or 3 decked shaker used for drying or at offshore platform

Extra large shale shaker

Here "Large"  referred to both screen area and the treating capacity. So, single shaker area and the whole screen area of shakers combination will affect performance. It can be linear motion or BEM, and even dual motion. Shaker screens can be different types of tensioning way. What other difference?

Other information of extra large shaker

For almost extra large shaker on land drilling, they are multiple tandem design. So based on 2 sets or 3 sets single shaker, we'll design the T through as mud flow divider. This will help to treat large quantity mud in time easily.

And even with very fine screen, the shaker will perform very well. No mud loss with good separation result. High efficiency and compact for different drilling site.

Multiple tandem shakers

Application of large shaker

They can be used in drilling mud solids control system onshore. For 7000m well drilling or even deeper one.  They can be used in offshore platform with multiple deck design. Or they can be used as finer separation before dry shaker or centrifuge.

We put Ultra large shaker on tank as primary process on drilling fluids. Their role is shaker and mud cleaner. The difference will be screen mesh size on primary shaker and subsequent shaker but before dry shaker

That means we don't need the hydrocyclone separators but shaker, shaker, dry shaker, centrifuge, and so on. This proposal is suitable for drilling waste management or zero-dsicharge mud treatment.

Shale shakers are the equipment utilized vibrator and screen to separate solid out of drilling fluid. In oilfield solids control, shakers are always treated as initial important part. It's the first solids control and purification step.

Solids control shale shakers

Shale shaker is also referred to vibrating screen. One method of removing solids from drilling mud is to pass the mud over the surface of a vibrating screen. Particles smaller than the openings in the screen pass through the holes of the screen along with the liquid phase of the mud. Particles too large to pass through the screen are thereby separated from the mud for disposal. Basically, a screen acts as a “go-no-go” gauge:  Either a particle is small enough to pass through the screen or it is not.

Shale shakers in solids control

Screening Surface. Screening surfaces used in solids control equipment are generally made of woven wire screen cloth, in many different sizes and shapes. The following characteristics of screen cloth are important in solids applications.

Screens may be constructed with one or more LAYERS. NON-LAYERED screens have a single screen cloth mounted in a screen panel. These screens will have openings that are regular in size and shape. LAYERED screens have two or more screen cloths, usually of different mesh, mounted in a screen panel. These screens will have openings that vary greatly in size & shape.

Mesh is defined as the number of openings per linear inch. Mesh, can be measured by starting at the center of one wire and counting the number of openings to a point one inch away.

Shaker screen opening size

It is the distance between wires in the screen cloth & is usually measured in fractions of an inch or microns.

Screens of the same mesh may have different sized openings depending on the diameter of the wire used to weave the screen cloth.

The smaller the diameter of the wire results in larger screen openings allowing larger particles to pass through the screen. The larger the diameter of the wire, the smaller the particles that will pass through the screen Remember: It is the size of the opening in a screen not the mesh count that determines the size of the particles separated by the screen.

In future posts, we'll talk about more detail on shale shakers maintenance.

Solids control shale shaker is the 1st equipment to process drilling mud in whole drilling fluids system. Why we call it as solids control shaker? Since shale shaker is mainly used to get rid of drilling cuttings by filtration and vibration. The cuttings are usually the harmful solids.

Solids control shale shaker introduction

Solids control really benefit much on well drillings. No matter oil&gas drilling, deep water well drilling, horizontal directional drilling, etc. Even process the drilling waste we also need to configure capable solids control unit

In solids control system, shakers are first phase equipment. We all know cuttings larger than 100 microns will be separated out of shaker. The shakers can be linear motion or BEM, also can be dual motion with different motors combination

Shale shaker main parts

As shale shaker is rather important in solids control system all main parts are important as well. Shale shaker consists of vibrator motor, vibration beam, starter, shaker basket, shaker screen, springs, rubber seal on shaker deck, base frame, etc.

If no special requirements, all main structure material is high quality carbon steel. The shaker screens can be S.S304L~316L as different meshes request different screen cloth combination. Usually we get inquiries on shaker screens, vibrator motor, the rubber seals, springs, etc. parts.

To confirm the compliance between replacement and original parts we strongly recommend clients provide part number, picture, drawing with size, etc. Since different customer may call same parts by various name. Above information will be helpful to confirm right replacement part
