King Cobra Shale Shaker Troubleshooting

The king cobra shale shaker has 3 panel pretension screens and use linear motion to remove solids from the drilling mud. So it’s permit the king cobra shale shaker to minimize mud losses while enhancing cuttings dryness. Maintenance on the king cobra shale shaker is minimal and only a small inventory of replacement parts is necessary to sustain optimal operation.

Shaker Screen Blinding

If the screen’s openings plug (blind) with sand, there are several methods by which the screen may be unplugged. If the screens are in the unit, rub the screens in a circular motion with a cloth rag or cloth gloves. Or, with the screen removed, you may try blowing out the solids with high-pressure air or water from the bottom.

Remember: Never use a wire or stiff fiber brush on the screens.

Changing to a finer mesh screen may cause the near size sand that is blinding the screens to be removed and discarded. Changing to a larger mesh screen may solve the blinding problem, but increases the amount of solids returned to the active system.

Often it is necessary to experiment with several mesh sizes to minimize blinding while drilling through unconsolidated sand formations. As a general rule, try finer screens first.

Salt-water muds sometimes cause calcium deposits to coat the wires in the screen. As the layer of calcium increases in thickness around the wires, the openings become plugged off. This usually results in flooding. Steam cleaning usually removes the calcium deposits.
