Proper maintenance of an API certified shale shaker preserves performance, extends service life, and protects the investment in quality equipment. Aipu provides comprehensive maintenance guidance with every shaker.
Daily Inspection Routine
Visually check all screen panels for tears, holes, or excessive wear. Even small screen damage allows solids bypass. Verify screen tension and ensure all retention hardware is secure. Listen for unusual vibration patterns or noise indicating motor bearing issues. Check electrical connections and safety interlocks. These daily checks prevent minor issues from becoming major failures.
Screen Management
Rotate screen panels periodically from feed end to discharge end to distribute wear evenly. Clean screens regularly to prevent blinding from sticky clays or oil-based mud residues. Always use API-certified Aipu replacement screens matching original specifications. Keep adequate spare screen inventory on location.
Vibration Motor Care
Check motor mounting bolts for proper torque monthly. Monitor motor temperature during operation; rising temperature often indicates bearing issues. Lubricate bearings according to Aipu maintenance schedule using recommended grease. Replace motors in matched pairs to maintain balanced vibration.
Structural Inspection
Inspect welded joints monthly for fatigue cracking, particularly around motor mounts. Check vibration isolation springs or mounts for sagging, cracking, or uneven compression. The documentation package provided with API certified Aipu shakers supports systematic maintenance planning and record keeping.
