Shale Shaker Equipment Containerized Solutions

Containerized shale shaker equipment solutions provide an integrated approach to solids control that simplifies logistics, protects equipment during transport and storage, and accelerates rig-up at the drilling location. Aipu Solids Control has developed containerized shale shaker configurations that combine the proven performance of Hunter series shakers with the operational advantages of containerized packaging, drawing on over 15 years of experience serving drilling operations worldwide.

The containerized approach integrates the shale shaker and its supporting systems into a standard ISO shipping container frame, typically 20-foot or 40-foot configurations. This integration provides several operational advantages. The container structure protects the shaker and ancillary equipment from weather, dust, and handling damage during transport and storage—a significant benefit for operations in remote locations or harsh environments where equipment may sit between wells. The container frame provides built-in lifting points for standard container handling equipment, eliminating the need for special lifting gear. Stacking capability enables efficient storage and transport of multiple containerized units, optimizing shipping costs and yard space at the drilling contractor’s base of operations.

Inside the container, the shale shaker is mounted on a skid or frame that positions it at the correct operating height for the tank and fluid handling system. The container structure provides support for the walkways, handrails, and access platforms required for safe operation and maintenance, eliminating the need to construct separate access structures at the rig location. Ventilation, lighting, and electrical distribution are integrated into the container design, providing a complete working environment for the solids control operators. Premium vibrating motors from Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli operating at 6.0G to 7.5G are protected from airborne dust and debris by the container enclosure, extending motor life in harsh operating environments.

Rig-up efficiency is a primary benefit of containerized shaker solutions. The complete solids control module arrives at the location as a single unit requiring only positioning, leveling, and connection to the rig electrical supply and drilling fluid piping. This approach can reduce rig-up time from days to hours compared to assembling individual shaker units at the location. Pre-commissioning can be performed at the contractor’s base, identifying and resolving any issues before the equipment leaves for the rig location. Aipu’s API Q1 certified manufacturing at our 50,000 square meter Xi’an facility ensures that every containerized system is factory-tested before shipment. Quick-change screens, adjustable deck angles from minus 1 degree to plus 5 degrees, and comprehensive documentation support efficient operation. Equipment operating in more than 30 countries validates the containerized approach for drilling operations where efficient mobilization and reliable solids control are both essential for project success.
