Drilling fluid systems present aggressive chemical environments that demand shale shaker equipment engineered for corrosion resistance. Aipu Solids Control designs and manufactures corrosion resistant shale shakers specifically for the chemical challenges of modern drilling fluid systems, from high-salinity water-based muds to aggressive oil-based and synthetic-based formulations. With over 15 years of specialized solids control experience, Aipu understands the corrosive mechanisms in drilling fluid systems and has developed comprehensive protection strategies for every shaker component.
Modern drilling fluid systems contain numerous corrosive agents that attack standard carbon steel equipment. Chloride salts used for density control in brine-based systems cause pitting and crevice corrosion. Hydrogen sulfide encountered in sour gas formations causes sulfide stress cracking of susceptible materials. Acid gas conditions in certain formations accelerate general corrosion rates. Oil-based and synthetic-based muds, while less inherently corrosive, often contain emulsifiers and wetting agents that can strip protective coatings from inadequately prepared surfaces. Aipu addresses each of these corrosion mechanisms through material selection, surface preparation, and protective coating systems developed specifically for drilling fluid service conditions. The Hunter series corrosion resistant configuration incorporates 316L stainless steel for all wetted surfaces, providing the molybdenum-enhanced pitting resistance that chloride environments demand.
Screen deck corrosion is particularly critical because damaged screens compromise the primary function of the shaker. Aipu composite frame screens provide inherent corrosion resistance through the non-metallic frame material, eliminating the rust and degradation that affect metal screen frames in corrosive environments. For applications requiring maximum mechanical durability, Aipu stainless steel screen frames offer corrosion resistance combined with the structural properties of metal. Both options are available in mesh sizes from API 40 to API 200, supporting the full range of drilling applications. The quick-change retention system on Aipu shakers uses corrosion-resistant hardware that maintains reliable clamping force throughout the screen life.
Premium vibrating motors from Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli, operating at 6.0G to 7.5G of acceleration, feature corrosion-resistant housings and sealed designs that protect internal components from environmental exposure. Adjustable deck angles from minus 1 degree to plus 5 degrees and comprehensive corrosion protection make Aipu shakers the reliable choice for any drilling fluid system. Manufactured in Aipu’s 50,000 square meter Xi’an facility under API Q1 certified quality management, every corrosion resistant shaker is built to maintain performance and structural integrity throughout years of exposure to aggressive drilling fluid chemistry. Equipment operating in more than 30 countries validates the effectiveness of Aipu’s corrosion protection approach in the full range of drilling fluid system environments.
