How does the Shale Shaker Work?

As we all know that in our daily oil and gas work, shaleshaker always plays an important role, it help us have a smooth work progress. So the question or the point we Slovedrilling want to share is that how do the shale shakers work?

In this international shale shaker marketing (such as the famous one: ZS/Z-1 Series shale shaker), there are many merchants or commission agents. They have taken a large marketing, they have made business with many foreign trading business men,, however, maybe they did a little about the equipment, such as the shale shaker equipment. That’s why we want to talk this topic here today.

ZS/Z-1 Series shale shaker

How do the shale shakers work? If you want to answer this question, you should know the structures and parts of the whole shale shaker as the followings.

Vibrator- This is the device which applies the vibratory force and motion type to the shaker bed. To produce the proper Linear motion a second, counter rotating, vibrator is added in parallel to the first.

New Shale Shakers Basket Angling Mechanism - The shaker basket must be capable of changing its angle to accommodate various flow rates of drilling fluids and to maximize the use of the shaker bed, this is where the angling mechanism plays an important part.

Oil well Shaker Feeder - The Feeder is essentially a collection pan for the drilling fluid before it is processed by the shaker, it can come in many different shapes and sizes to accommodate the needs of the mud system.

Hopper - Hopper can be ordered according to the needs of the drilling fluid, aka "mud" system. It can come in different depths to accommodate larger quantities of drilling fluid as well as have different ports for returning the underflow to the mud system.

As we know that there is another main and important part for the shale shaker is the control panel, which is also called shaker screen panel. The important part means a lot, if you did something wrong, that means you kill the whole shale shaker. So facing such important equipment, I think I will discuss this topic singly.

When we know the parts and elements of the shale shaker owns, we could know and understand how do the shale shakers work, that’s easy and simple. Next day, we will discuss the most important one: shale shakers’ screen panel.
