Optimizing Drilling Efficiency with Kosun Oil Vibrating Screens

Jan 09, 2026

The Kosun vibrating screen (shale shaker) is the primary solid control equipment in the drilling mud solid-phase control system. It removes a large amount of drilling cuttings carried by the mud from the wellbore, allowing the mud to proceed to secondary separation equipment. The equipment can be used individually or in double or multiple pairs for enhanced efficiency.

The KOSUN shale shaker is a high-frequency linear vibration machine. It is equipped with three screen frames and two vibration motors, and features manual adjustment of the screen frame angle (AWD) during drilling. The LS583  allows operation with a screen frame angle adjustable between -1° and +5°.

Thanks to innovative structural design, the vibration motors are fixed to the screen frame via a high-strength support beam and positioned directly on the screen bed. This setup allows the exciting force (G-force) to be applied directly to the screen, ensuring efficient separation of drilling cuttings. A vibration isolation device protects the base frame from the vibrations of the screen frame, enhancing durability and stability.

Mud is fed into the shaker through the feed box, enabling smooth and consistent processing.

The main components of the shale shaker include the screen frame, vibration motors, screen tensioning system, AWD angle adjustment system, locking device, feed box, and electrical system.

The equipment is widely used in oil drilling, directional and horizontal drilling, coalbed methane drilling, shale gas drilling, river sludge treatment, and other mud purification and environmental protection applications.
