The performance of a shale shaker depends on the large number of parameters. The most important variables affecting the capacity of a shale shaker are drilling fluid rheological properties, concentration and size distribution of solids, screen mesh and area, vibration … Read the rest
Mechanical solids control equipment selectively separate solids either through size differences, mass differences or both. Shale shakers use screens; hydrocyclones and centrifuges use centrifugal force. Understanding what are the key design factors and optimum operating limits for each of these … Read the rest
In its pristine state, drilling mud may contain two types of solids – bentonite providing viscosity and, optionally, barite for weight. The bentonite particles range in size up to 10 microns. The barite ranges from 5 to 80 microns, with … Read the rest
Shale shaker should remove as many drilled solids and as little drilling mud as possible. These dual objectives require that cutting (or drilled solids) convey off the screen while simultaneously separating and removing most of drilling mud from cuttings. Frequently, … Read the rest
There are some people don’t grasp the basic functions of shale shaker. From the short understanding, it’s an associated device to shake or create mud oscillating. Shale shakers are the devices with vibratory motor to separate … Read the rest
