Even high-quality API certified shale shaker equipment can encounter operational issues. Aipu provides comprehensive troubleshooting resources and technical support to resolve problems quickly.
Screen Blinding and Plugging
Fine particles or sticky clays clog screen openings, reducing effective area and causing mud pooling. Solutions include adjusting deck angle steeper to increase cuttings velocity, switching to coarser mesh temporarily, and ensuring proper mud inhibition chemicals. Aipu adjustable deck angles and quick-change screens make these remedies practical.
Excessive Screen Wear
Abrasive formations accelerate screen deterioration. Verify proper screen tension and inspect support rails for wear. Use heavy-duty stainless steel frame screens for abrasive applications. Rotate screens to distribute wear. Aipu balanced vibration design minimizes localized high-wear points.
Mud Loss Over the Back
Flow rate exceeding capacity or screen blinding causes mud to flow backward. Verify flow rate against shaker rating. Check for blinded screens. Adjust deck angle. If consistently at capacity limit, consider upgrading to higher-capacity Aipu model or adding a second shaker.
Abnormal Vibration or Noise
Indicates motor bearing wear, loose mounting bolts, or electrical phase imbalance. Check motor current draw on all phases. Verify bolt torque. Compare vibration measurements to factory baseline values. Aipu documentation includes baseline data for diagnostic reference.
Electrical Issues
Verify supply voltage and phase balance. Check connections for tightness and overheating. Test safety interlocks. Aipu comprehensive electrical documentation supports systematic troubleshooting.
