Linear Motion Shale Shakers for Oil and Gas Drilling

Linear motion shale shaker equipment from Aipu Solids Control is purpose-engineered for the demanding requirements of oil and gas drilling operations, providing reliable primary solids control across diverse well types and drilling conditions.

Handling Oil and Gas Drilling Flow Rates

Oil and gas drilling generates substantial cuttings volumes at high rates of penetration, with circulation rates that can exceed 800 gallons per minute on larger rigs. Aipu Hunter series linear shakers match these demands with capacities from the Hunter-Mini at 50 cubic meters per hour for workover and small rig applications to tandem Hunter-MG4T configurations delivering 420 cubic meters per hour for deep, high-rate drilling. The high G-force operation at 6.0G to 7.5G ensures aggressive separation that maintains effectiveness even at these elevated flow rates, while large effective screen areas and efficient flow distribution maximize throughput.

Durability for Extended Drilling Campaigns

Oil and gas wells require continuous operation for weeks or months, and equipment failure during drilling carries enormous cost consequences. Aipu linear shakers are built for this duty cycle with heat-treated frames that resist fatigue cracking, premium Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli vibrating motors rated for continuous operation, and corrosion-resistant coatings protecting against aggressive drilling fluids and environmental exposure. Factory acceptance testing on every unit verifies vibration characteristics, electrical systems, and mechanical integrity before the equipment reaches the field, providing documented assurance of readiness for extended operation.

Adaptability Across Well Types

Oil and gas operations drill vertical, directional, horizontal, and extended-reach wells through diverse formations. Aipu adjustable deck angles from minus 1 degree to plus 5 degrees and quick-change screens with mesh sizes from API 40 to API 200 allow operators to optimize the shaker for each hole section. The flexibility to switch from coarse screens for surface hole to fine screens for production zones, combined with deck angle adjustment for changing cuttings characteristics, ensures that Aipu linear shakers deliver optimal performance throughout the entire well construction process.
