Installation of the Oil Drilling Fluids Mud Shale Shaker for a Solids Control System

Nov 14, 2013

Drilling fluids shale shaker is a kind of filterable mechanical separation equipment, compared with other mechanical separation equipment, its unit cost is kinda of economy and it is highly efficient separation equipment which obtains solid removal amount. Drilling fluids shale shaker is made of screen body, machine rack and gearing, according mechanical vibration make solid phase which is bigger than screen hole and the adhesive attraction will screen the solid phase particles which is smaller than screen hole. But all mud can’t be processed in circulating process because of the limit of shale shaker mud permit.

Shale shakers use a vibrating screen surface to conserve the drilling fluids and eject drilled solids. The effects of this shale shakers vibration are described in terms of the G factor, or the function of angular displacement of a screen and square of the rotational speed. Angular displacement is achieved by rotating an eccentric mass. Most shale shakers are designed to be operated at a specific, fixed G factor by matching the stroke to a given machine’s rotational speed. It follows that any deviation in speed will affect the G factor and influence the shaker performance.
 

Shale Shaker
 

Shale shaker is first phase solids control equipment in drilling fluids processing system, also known as key solids control equipment in drilling mud system, shale shaker decides performance of the whole solids control system. KOSUN can design double shakers and triplicate shakers on single skid according to clients’ special requirements and also supply relevant connecting manifold, according to current industry situation.

Installation of Shale Shaker

1. It is should be installed in level location. The quadrangles should be levelled up and filled up.

2. In the occasion when there is no base, the anti-vibration rubber sheet should be set between working staging and engine base.

3. Taking down the transportation support, because the foundation of shaker machine is connected with screen reel by spring, so using transportation support to fix the up shaker machine when transporting. We should take down the transportation support after entering the installation field.

4. The vibration machine and cable bear the drastic vibration, eliminating the particles in screen.

KOSUN exclusively manufactures oil & gas drilling fluids solids control equipment and solids control system, such as shale shaker, decanter centrifuge, desander, vacuum degasser, electrical ignition device, mud cleaner, centrifugal pump, mud agitator, etc.
