Understanding the key features of shale shaker equipment helps buyers and operators evaluate different models and select equipment that meets their specific needs. Aipu Solids Control incorporates essential features across the Hunter series product line that deliver reliable performance and practical operation.
Vibration System Features
The vibration system is the heart of any shale shaker. Aipu uses premium-brand motors from Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli, selected for their proven reliability in industrial vibration applications. These are not general-purpose motors but units specifically engineered for vibratory service with reinforced bearings and housings. Motors are matched in pairs at the factory and mounted on precision-machined surfaces to ensure balanced vibration output. The operating range of 6.0G to 7.5G provides sufficient acceleration for aggressive separation while avoiding unnecessary stress on screens and structure. Motor mounting bolt torque is specified and verified during assembly, with documented values included in the equipment package for maintenance reference.
Screen Deck and Retention System
The screen deck supports the screens that perform actual separation. Aipu decks are constructed from heavy-gauge steel with precision support rails that ensure uniform screen tension and prevent localized high-wear points. The quick-change retention system—using wedge blocks, tension bolts, or cam-lock mechanisms depending on the model—allows complete screen replacement without specialized tools. This design minimizes the downtime associated with what is the most frequent maintenance activity on any shale shaker. The screen deck is designed to accept Aipu-certified screens in both stainless steel and composite frame materials, with all common mesh specifications from API 40 to API 200.
Structural and Operational Features
The frame structure must withstand years of continuous vibration without fatigue failure. Aipu frames are constructed from heavy-gauge structural steel with the basket assembly heat-treated for stress relief after welding. Vibration isolation uses high-quality springs or rubber mounts that protect the rig structure from vibration transmission while allowing the basket to move freely. The feed distribution system ensures even flow, and a built-in bypass allows the shaker to be isolated for maintenance without stopping circulation. Lifting points with certified safe working loads facilitate rig moves and installation. Electrical controls include overload protection, emergency stop, and optional variable speed control. All features are designed for practical field use and documented for quality assurance, meeting the expectations of API Q1 certified manufacturing.
