Oil and gas drilling operations place the most demanding requirements on solids control shale shaker equipment, with high flow rates, diverse formation types, continuous operation, and the economic imperative of minimizing non-productive time. Aipu Solids Control manufactures Hunter series shakers specifically engineered to meet these demanding oil and gas requirements with API Q1 certified quality.
The scale of oil and gas drilling operations demands shakers with substantial processing capacity. Aipu’s product range addresses this through models spanning from the Hunter-Mini at 50 cubic meters per hour for workover and small rig applications, through mid-range single-deck and double-deck models, to the Hunter-MG4T tandem configuration providing up to 420 cubic meters per hour for large rig and deep drilling programs. This range ensures that the shaker capacity is properly matched to the rig’s mud circulation rate, with adequate margin for peak flow periods during tripping and high-rate drilling intervals. All models operate at 6.0G to 7.5G of acceleration with premium vibrating motors from Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli, delivering the separation intensity required for effective solids removal at these flow rates.
Oil and gas wells typically encounter diverse formations from surface to total depth, requiring adaptable solids control equipment. Surface sections produce large volumes of coarse cuttings that demand robust capacity and coarser screens. Intermediate sections may encounter reactive shales requiring careful fluid management. Production zones demand maximum solids removal to protect formation permeability and minimize formation damage. Aipu Hunter series shakers address this diversity through adjustable deck angles from minus 1 degree to plus 5 degrees, quick-change screens from API 40 through API 200, and the Hunter-MGD dual-motion option that provides both linear and elliptical motion for maximum flexibility. The ability to adapt shaker operation throughout the well without changing equipment is a significant operational advantage.
Reliability is non-negotiable in oil and gas operations where non-productive time costs thousands of dollars per hour. Aipu addresses reliability through multiple layers: premium-brand motors selected for proven bearing life in continuous vibration service, FEA-validated structural designs with post-weld heat treatment to resist fatigue cracking, API Q1 certified manufacturing with documented quality controls at every production stage, and comprehensive factory acceptance testing on every unit before shipment. Equipment manufactured in Aipu’s 50,000 square meter Xi’an facility must pass documented test procedures before being released for delivery. This quality rigor, maintained by API surveillance audits, provides the reliability assurance that oil and gas operators require.
With over 15 years of specialized solids control manufacturing experience and equipment proven in oil and gas operations across more than 30 countries, Aipu understands the specific requirements of this demanding industry. From small independent operators to major international oil companies, Aipu provides shaker equipment that meets the quality, performance, and documentation standards of the global oil and gas industry.
