Selecting the right supplier for solids control shale shaker equipment involves evaluating factors beyond product specifications to include manufacturing quality, technical support capability, and long-term partnership potential. Aipu Solids Control provides this supplier guide to help drilling contractors assess potential equipment suppliers systematically, ensuring that the selected partner can support their solids control requirements throughout the equipment lifecycle.
Evaluating Manufacturing Quality
Supplier evaluation should begin with manufacturing quality verification. Confirm current API Q1 certification through the API Composite List, as this provides independent verification of the quality management system. Check for additional certifications including ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 that indicate comprehensive operational excellence. Request documentation of manufacturing processes and quality control procedures. If practical, visit the manufacturing facility to observe operations directly. Aipu welcomes customer facility visits and maintains transparent quality documentation that supports thorough supplier evaluation.
Technical Support and Service Capability
Equipment supply is only the beginning of the supplier relationship. Evaluate the technical support infrastructure available for commissioning, training, troubleshooting, and emergency assistance. Assess spare parts availability and distribution channels. Consider the supplier ability to provide application engineering support for system configuration and optimization. Aipu maintains global support infrastructure serving customers in over 30 countries, with comprehensive English-language documentation and responsive technical assistance.
Product Range and Customization
The ideal supplier offers a product range that matches your current and future requirements.

Configuration flexibility for specific regional requirements including electrical standards, hazardous area certification, and environmental conditions demonstrates the supplier willingness to meet customer-specific needs.
Track Record and References
Verify the supplier track record through customer references from operations similar to yours. Long-standing customer relationships and repeat orders indicate satisfaction.
