Shale Shaker Equipment Performance Guarantees

Performance guarantees for shale shaker equipment provide customers with documented assurance that Aipu shakers will achieve specified separation performance, processing capacity, and operational reliability targets. These guarantees transform performance expectations from marketing claims into verifiable contractual commitments.

Performance guarantees establish measurable criteria against which shaker operation can be objectively evaluated. Unlike general statements about equipment capability, Aipu performance guarantees define specific parameters with measurement methods, acceptance criteria, and remedies if performance falls short of commitments. This approach provides customers with confidence that the equipment they purchase will deliver the performance needed for their drilling operations.

Processing Capacity Guarantee

The fundamental performance parameter is processing capacity—the flow rate at which the shaker can effectively separate solids while maintaining specified separation efficiency. Aipu guarantees that each shaker model will process the rated flow of specified drilling fluid under defined operating conditions. The guaranteed capacity is based on actual flow loop testing and field performance data, not theoretical calculations. If a shaker consistently fails to achieve its guaranteed processing capacity under specified conditions, Aipu commits to investigate root causes and implement corrective actions including equipment adjustment, screen optimization, or in cases of manufacturing defect, component replacement.

Separation Efficiency Guarantee

Processing capacity without effective separation is meaningless. Aipu separation efficiency guarantees specify the minimum percentage of solids above a defined particle size that the shaker will remove from the drilling fluid stream. Efficiency measurements follow API RP 13C methodology for consistent, reproducible results. The guarantee parameters are specific to each shaker model and the screen configuration selected. Aipu factory acceptance testing verifies that each shaker achieves its separation efficiency specification before shipment, providing documented baseline data for field comparison.

Mechanical Reliability Guarantee

Beyond processing performance, Aipu guarantees the mechanical integrity of shaker structures and components. The frame is guaranteed against fatigue failure during normal operation within design parameters. Vibration motors are guaranteed to maintain specified vibration characteristics within tolerance. Screen deck assemblies are guaranteed to maintain flatness within tolerance affecting screen support and tension. These mechanical guarantees complement the standard and extended warranty coverage by establishing specific performance metrics for mechanical integrity.

Verification and Remedy Process

When performance concerns arise, Aipu follows a structured verification process. The process begins with remote diagnostic assessment to determine whether apparent performance issues stem from operating conditions or equipment factors. If equipment factors are suspected, field measurements using calibrated instruments verify whether the shaker meets its performance specifications. When performance falls below guaranteed levels and the cause is determined to be equipment-related, Aipu implements corrective action including equipment adjustments, component replacement, or in cases of design deficiency, engineering modifications. This structured approach ensures fair evaluation of performance claims and effective remedies.
