Evaluating a shale shaker supplier requires assessing manufacturing quality, technical capability, support infrastructure, and commercial terms. Aipu Solids Control encourages customers to evaluate suppliers thoroughly using these objective criteria.
Verify Manufacturing Credentials
Start with the fundamentals: what certifications does the supplier hold, and are they current? API Q1 certification is the gold standard for oilfield equipment manufacturing quality. ISO certifications provide additional quality assurance. Verify these certifications through the appropriate bodies. Visit the manufacturing facility if practical, or request detailed information about the facility, equipment, and workforce. Aipu welcomes such verification and provides full transparency about our manufacturing operations.
Review Technical Documentation
A professional supplier should provide comprehensive technical documentation including detailed specifications, dimensional drawings, electrical schematics, and maintenance manuals. The quality and completeness of this documentation is a good indicator of the supplier’s overall professionalism. Aipu provides complete documentation packages with every shaker, as required by our API Q1 quality system.
Check References and Track Record
Contact existing customers, particularly those with similar operations to yours. Ask about equipment performance, reliability, screen consumption, and the quality of after-sales support. A supplier should be willing to provide relevant references. Be suspicious of suppliers who cannot or will not connect you with satisfied customers. Aipu can provide references from operations worldwide across diverse drilling applications.
Evaluate Commercial Terms
Beyond price, consider warranty terms, payment conditions, delivery schedules, and spare parts pricing. A supplier offering a very low price but with limited warranty and expensive spare parts may cost more over the equipment life. Aipu provides transparent commercial terms and helps customers evaluate total cost of ownership.
