In oil drilling, the shale shaker is the first line of defense in drilling fluid purification and thus directly affects efficiency, equipment longevity, and safety. The right shaker can increase fluid recycling by over 30%, reduce tool wear, and lower operational costs, while the wrong choice can cause stuck pipes, fluid loss, and project delays.
Building on 33 years of experience, Xi'an Kosun has compiled the following guide to help you in selecting the most reliable, economically viable shale shaker for your operations.
Selection of Shale Shaker:
Key Factors
Processing Capacity
Match the shaker to the drilling depth and pump output. For deep wells, ≥100 m³/h is needed, while a shallow well requires far less. Kosun can provide solutions for all well types.
Separation Accuracy
Fine-particle drilling, such as shale gas, requires high-mesh screens (200+ mesh). For conventional wells, 120–180 mesh is required. Kosun screens are uniform at 98%, durable, and fast in replacement.
On-site Adaptability
Temperature extremes–30°C to 60°, Kosun shakers come with offshore corrosion protection to perform with stability in extreme temperatures.
Shaker Quality Evaluation
Vibration frequency & amplitude (adjustable for different fluid viscosities between 1,800-2,800 r/min and 5-10 mm).
Structural stability: Reinforced shaker boxes extend service life.
Damping system: Reduces the platform's vibration and noise.
Motor & bearings: For smooth, long-term operation. Intelligence in control: Monitoring of data and fault alerts enhance safety and reduce maintenance.
