FAQ

Q: What is the function of a shale shaker?

A: It is the first-stage solids control equipment to remove coarse cuttings from drilling mud and protect downstream equipment.

Q: How does a shale shaker work?

A: Dual vibration motors drive the screen deck to vibrate. Mud flows through the screen while solid cuttings are discharged continuously.

Q: What is its processing capacity?

A: The capacity ranges from 50m³/h to 180m³/h to meet different drilling demands.

Q: Can we adjust the screen deck angle?

A: Yes. The deck angle is adjustable to adapt to various mud properties and working conditions.

Q: Is screen replacement easy?

A: Adopting quick-clamp structure, screens can be replaced quickly to minimize downtime.

Q: Does it suit different types of drilling mud?

A: It is fully compatible with both water-based and oil-based drilling mud.

Q: What after-sales support do you offer?

A: We provide 12-month warranty, 24/7 technical support and stable spare parts supply.

How Shale Shaker Works

Dual vibration motors power the screen deck to generate vibration. When drilling mud mixed with solid cuttings flows onto the screen surface, the liquid mud passes through the screen mesh. Meanwhile, coarse cuttings are moved forward by vibration and discharged continuously, realizing solid-liquid separation. The screen deck angle can be adjusted to fit different mud and working conditions.
