Modular drilling rigs have transformed the industry by enabling rapid rig-up and rig-down while reducing transportation costs. Shale shaker equipment for modular rigs must match this philosophy of efficient assembly and disassembly while maintaining full separation performance. Aipu Solids Control provides API Q1 certified shale shakers specifically suited to modular rig applications.
Modular rig design breaks the traditional rig into transportable modules that connect quickly at the well site. This approach requires solids control equipment that is either sized to fit within standard module dimensions or designed with its own modular architecture. Aipu Hunter series shakers support both approaches. Compact models like the Hunter-Mini fit within space-constrained modules, while larger models feature designs that facilitate efficient integration into mud system modules. The rapid-connect electrical systems on Aipu shakers support the fast rig-up that modular operations require, using standardized connections that crews can connect quickly and reliably without specialized electrical expertise.
Transportation considerations influence equipment selection for modular rigs. Aipu shakers are designed with lifting points, transport frames, and connection systems that facilitate repeated moves between locations. The robust frame construction—using heavy-gauge structural steel with post-weld heat treatment—withstands the handling and vibration of frequent transportation. Premium Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli motors maintain their alignment and performance through multiple rig moves, reducing the need for recalibration after each relocation. Operating at 6.0G to 7.5G of acceleration, these shakers provide consistent separation performance whether deployed on the first well or the fiftieth.
Operational flexibility is particularly valuable for modular rigs that move between diverse drilling programs. Aipu’s adjustable deck angles from minus 1 degree to plus 5 degrees enable rapid optimization for different formations encountered at each location. Quick-change screens from API 40 to API 200 allow the same shaker equipment to handle everything from surface hole to production zone. API Q1 certified manufacturing in Aipu’s 50,000 square meter Xi’an facility ensures that this flexibility does not compromise reliability. With over 15 years of experience and equipment in more than 30 countries, Aipu understands what modular rig operations require and delivers shakers that meet those requirements efficiently.
