Choosing the best API certified shale shaker requires evaluating processing capacity, vibration technology, screen options, and manufacturer quality. Aipu Solids Control provides a comprehensive range of API Q1 certified shakers to match diverse drilling requirements.
Match Capacity to Flow Rate
Start with the maximum mud circulation rate and add a 25 to 50 percent safety margin. Aipu offers shakers from 50 cubic meters per hour (Hunter-Mini) to 420 cubic meters per hour (Hunter-MG4T tandem), covering every rig size. Verify that the shaker rating is based on actual field performance, not theoretical maximums. Aipu specifications are verified through factory acceptance testing on every unit.
Select Optimal Vibration Technology
Aipu offers linear motion for hard formations and high-volume water-based mud, balanced elliptical motion for sticky shales and oil-based mud, and dual-motion capability in the Hunter-MGD series for maximum flexibility. Match vibration type to the formations and mud types your drilling program typically encounters. For diverse operations, dual-motion provides the adaptability to optimize for changing conditions.
Evaluate Screen Options and Support
Screen quality and availability directly affect operating costs. Aipu provides API-certified screens in mesh sizes from 40 to 200, with stainless steel and composite frame options. Verify that replacement screens are readily available and competitively priced. Aipu quick-change screen design reduces the downtime associated with this frequent maintenance activity.
Verify Manufacturer Credentials
Confirm API Q1 certification through the API Composite List. Check for additional certifications—ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001—that demonstrate broader operational excellence. Visit the manufacturing facility if practical. Aipu welcomes customer visits to our 50,000 square meter facility in Xi’an and provides comprehensive documentation of our quality systems.
