Mud Shale Shaker

The Mud Shale Shaker is the first-level equipment for solid-liquid separation of drilling fluid, suitable for the drilling fluid solids control system of oil and gas drilling.

The shale shaker uses two vibrating motors with equal mass and diameter products, and according to the principle of self-synchronization, realizes the linear movement of the screen box in a certain direction, and achieves the purpose of screening and discharging the cuttings particles in the drilling fluid.

Xi'an HL Linear motion shale shakeris mainly composed of base assembly, screen box assembly, screen box inclination adjustment device assembly, anti-splash device assembly, mud box assembly, electrical control system assembly and other parts.

Mud Shale Shaker Selection

When selecting a shale shaker, first select a suitable screen according to the size and granularity of the solid particles in the drilling fluid. The size of the holes on the screen is indicated by "mesh". 

The so-called mesh number of the screen refers to the number of holes per inch (in) side length of the screen. The larger the mesh, the smaller the holes. For example: a square mesh screen has 12 holes per inch, which is called a 12-mesh screen, which is expressed as 12x 12 by API standards.

A very important parameter of a shale shaker is its processing capacity. In addition to the selection and determination of its own motion parameters, this is also affected by factors such as the type of drilling fluid, density, viscosity, size and number of solid particles, and mesh size. Therefore, it must be fully considered in actual use and reasonable selection.
