Evaluating a shale shaker supplier requires assessing multiple dimensions of capability, quality, and support using objective criteria. Aipu encourages customers to evaluate suppliers thoroughly using the framework described below.
Quality Credentials: Start with Certifications
The evaluation should begin with the supplier’s quality credentials. Verify API Q1 certification status through the API Composite List, confirming the certification is current and covers the relevant product scope. Check for additional certifications—ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001—that demonstrate broader operational excellence. A supplier unable or unwilling to provide verifiable certification details should raise immediate concerns. Aipu certification status is current and can be verified through official channels at any time.
Technical Capability: Evaluate Engineering Depth
Request technical documentation including detailed specifications, dimensional drawings, and maintenance manuals. The quality and completeness of this documentation reveals much about the supplier’s engineering capability. Ask technical questions about equipment design, material selection, and testing procedures. A supplier whose responses demonstrate genuine engineering knowledge is fundamentally different from one who simply resells equipment. Aipu engineering team welcomes technical discussions with prospective customers.
Production Capability: Visit or Verify
A facility visit provides the most reliable assessment of manufacturing capability. Observe the facility scale, equipment, organization, and working conditions. If a visit is impractical, request photographs, equipment lists, and production capacity information. Aipu welcomes customer visits to our Xi’an facility, and for customers who cannot visit, we provide comprehensive documentation of our manufacturing operations.
Customer Validation: Contact References
Speak directly with existing customers. Ask about equipment performance, reliability, screen consumption rates, after-sales support quality, and whether they would purchase again. A supplier should willingly provide relevant references. Aipu can connect prospective customers with current users of our equipment in similar drilling applications.
