Shake Shaker for Drilling Mud System---Important Drilling Solids Control Equipment

Mar 05, 2012

Shake shaker is the important drilling solids control equipment, used as first stage solids control equipment. There are some tips of using it in the operation processes.

1. Shale Shaker Deck Angle Adjustment

The shale shaker deck angle ranges between -1 ~ +3° and its rated angle is 0~ +5°. There is lifter, pipe, lifter pipe, scale indicator, scale, connection plate, etc. When we make adjustment, if the wheel rotates in a clockwise direction, then shaker deck angle will be larger; if the wheel rotates in an anti-clockwise direction, shaker deck angle will be smaller.

Shale shaker output angle adjustment can be operated under running and off. When the shaker finishes delivering it, the shaker deck is 0°. When user operates shaker, according to drilling mud property and flow rate on job site, and adopts same screen, the angle is higher, the treating performance will be better while treating capacity will be higher. When drilling fluids is leaking on shaker deck, increased deck angle can let fluids flow away.

2. Shale Shaker Screen Replacement

To make shale shaker screen installation and uninstall easier, the fast installation structure was designed. The structure is a special type using tension wedge to fix screen. Refer to fig IV. The structure is composed of shelve strip and wedge. The first screen installation, we should inspect the screen dimension, such as 1250±2mm, the tolerance can’t go beyond that. After fixing rubber strip, put screen and shelve strip from shaker back (drilling fluids input), and push wedge evenly on two sides by using hammer to push or tension wedges so that two sides are made identical. Tension each screen subsequently.

Replace the shaker screen during operation, when screens are broken or need to be replaced, please refer to fig IV. Get wedge out, then bring out screen, check if rubber strips are sufficient; then put new screen on shaker deck and tension it steadily. Then replacement is finished.
