The top features of a drilling shale shaker determine its performance, reliability, and ease of operation. Aipu Solids Control incorporates these essential features across the Hunter series shaker range.
High G-Force Operation
Operating at 6.0G to 7.5G, Aipu shakers deliver aggressive solids separation that standard lower-force shakers cannot match. This higher acceleration provides faster fluid drainage through screens, drier cuttings discharge, and more effective solids conveyance. Premium vibration motors from Ital-Vibras, Martin, and Oli ensure consistent G-force delivery over extended operating periods.
Adjustable Deck Angle
The ability to adjust deck angle without tools, typically from minus 1 degree to plus 5 degrees on Aipu models, allows operators to optimize retention time for current conditions. Steeper angles speed solids discharge when cuttings volume is high. Flatter angles increase fluid recovery when mud losses are a concern. This adjustment capability enables field optimization that fixed-angle shakers cannot provide.
Quick-Change Screen System
Screen changes are the most frequent maintenance activity on any shale shaker. Aipu quick-change design allows complete screen panel replacement in minutes using simple hand tools. Wedge-type or cam-lock retention systems provide secure screen tensioning while enabling rapid release for changes. This design feature directly reduces the non-productive time associated with screen maintenance.
Premium Vibration Motors
Motor quality fundamentally determines shaker performance and longevity. Aipu uses motors from globally recognized manufacturers with proven records in industrial vibration applications. Motors are matched in pairs and mounted on precision-machined surfaces for balanced, efficient operation. Factory testing verifies that each pair produces the specified vibration characteristics before shipment.
Robust Frame Construction
The shaker frame must withstand millions of vibration cycles without fatigue failure. Aipu frames use heavy-gauge structural steel with full penetration welding at critical joints. Post-weld heat treatment relieves residual stresses. Finite element analysis validates structural designs for the intended G-force range. These engineering measures ensure long-term structural integrity under demanding field conditions.
Dual-Motion Capability
Aipu Hunter-MGD shaker provides both linear and elliptical motion from a single unit using only two motors. This allows operators to optimize for hard formations (linear) or sticky shales (elliptical) without equipment changes or additional units. The ability to switch motion types on the fly provides operational flexibility that single-motion shakers cannot match.
