Offshore drilling projects demand a drilling shale shaker configured specifically for the unique challenges of marine environments. Aipu Solids Control provides shakers engineered for offshore platforms, jack-ups, and drill ships worldwide.
Space-Constrained High Performance
Offshore deck space is measured in square meters and valued accordingly. Aipu addresses this constraint with high-capacity designs that maximize throughput per unit of footprint. The Hunter-MG4D double-deck shaker effectively doubles screening area within the same deck space as a single-deck unit, providing 5.4 square meters of effective screen area. Tandem configurations arrange two shakers for doubled capacity while maintaining compact layout. Every Aipu offshore shaker is engineered to deliver maximum performance from minimum space.
Marine Environment Protection
Salt spray, high humidity, and constant exposure to the marine atmosphere demand superior corrosion protection. Aipu offshore-configured shakers feature multi-layer protective coating systems including zinc-rich primer, high-build epoxy intermediate coat, and UV-resistant polyurethane topcoat. Stainless steel fasteners throughout prevent the corrosion that plagues standard carbon steel hardware in marine service. Materials selection throughout the shaker considers the aggressive offshore environment.
Hazardous Area Compliance
Offshore installations universally require explosion-proof electrical certification. Aipu provides shakers with motors and electrical systems certified to ATEX and IECEx standards for Zone 1 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. Documentation of hazardous area certification, including motor certificates, enclosure ratings, and system compliance statements, is included with each offshore shaker package.
Offshore Reliability Requirements
The cost of offshore downtime—often exceeding $500,000 per day—makes reliability paramount. Aipu API Q1 certified manufacturing quality, premium components from established manufacturers, comprehensive factory acceptance testing, and documented quality assurance provide the reliability foundation. Our equipment has been deployed successfully on offshore installations in multiple operating regions, demonstrating the reliability that offshore operations demand.
Crew-Friendly Operation
Offshore crews operate in challenging conditions with limited specialist support. Aipu shakers feature intuitive controls, clear operating indicators, easily accessible maintenance points, and comprehensive documentation that supports efficient operation and troubleshooting by rig crew personnel.
