API Certified Shale Shaker with Durable Composite Screens

Screen durability is one of the most significant factors in shale shaker operating costs. Aipu Solids Control offers API Q1 certified shakers equipped with durable composite screen options that provide excellent service life and corrosion resistance. Composite frame screens have become increasingly popular for modern drilling operations, and Aipu provides both composite and stainless steel options to match specific application requirements.

Composite screens offer several advantages that make them particularly suitable for challenging drilling environments. The composite frame material is inherently corrosion-resistant, eliminating the rust and degradation that can affect metal frames when exposed to aggressive drilling fluids, saltwater, and chemical treatments. This corrosion resistance is especially valuable for offshore operations where salt spray accelerates metal degradation, and for drilling programs using brine-based or chemically aggressive mud systems. Composite screens also provide lighter weight compared to stainless steel alternatives, making screen changes physically easier for rig crews and reducing the total weight load on the shaker structure.

Aipu’s composite screens are designed specifically for Hunter series shakers operating at 6.0G to 7.5G of acceleration with premium vibrating motors from Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli. The screen mesh is bonded to the composite frame using industrial-grade adhesives that maintain integrity under continuous high-G vibration and temperature variations. Available in mesh sizes from API 40 to API 200, Aipu composite screens support the full range of drilling applications from surface hole through production zone. The quick-change retention system on Aipu shakers makes screen replacement fast and straightforward, minimizing downtime during this frequent maintenance activity.

Screen selection should consider the specific drilling conditions. Composite screens excel in applications with corrosive mud systems, saltwater-based drilling fluids, and operations where frequent screen changes make lighter weight advantageous. Stainless steel screens provide maximum durability for highly abrasive formations where physical wear is the dominant failure mode. Aipu’s engineering team helps customers evaluate these factors and select the optimal screen configuration, often recommending a combination approach where different screen types are used for different hole sections.

Manufactured in Aipu’s 50,000 square meter facility in Xi’an under API Q1 certified quality management, every screen is tested to API RP 13C standards for consistent mesh openings and separation performance. With over 15 years of experience and equipment operating in more than 30 countries, Aipu provides the screen quality and selection that drilling operations depend on for consistent performance and cost control.
