Even well-built shale shaker equipment with linear motion can encounter operational issues. Aipu provides comprehensive troubleshooting resources to resolve problems quickly.
Screen-Related Issues
Screen blinding from sticky clays or oil-based residues reduces effective area. Solutions include adjusting deck angle steeper, switching to coarser mesh temporarily, and using composite frame screens that resist adhesion. Torn screens allow solids bypass—inspect regularly and replace damaged panels immediately using Aipu quick-change system.
Mud Loss Over the Back
Caused by flow rate exceeding capacity or screen blinding. Verify flow against shaker rating. Check for blinded screens. Adjust deck angle. If consistently at capacity, consider upgrading to higher-capacity Aipu model or adding a second shaker.
Abnormal Vibration
Unusual noise or vibration patterns indicate motor bearing wear, loose mounting bolts, or electrical phase imbalance. Check motor current on all phases. Verify bolt torque. Compare vibration measurements to factory baseline values in Aipu documentation.
Flow Distribution Problems
Uneven flow concentrates load on part of the deck. Verify shaker is level. Clean distribution box. Check weir for damage. Even distribution utilizes the full screen area for maximum capacity.
