Shale shaker as the first stage purifying equipment of well drilling mud process plays an important role. Shale shaker performance is related to many factors, including material properties, structural parameters of screen surface and shale shaker motion parameters, etc. Therefore, studying the factors that affect shale shaker performance is very important for finding measures to improve the working efficiency of shale shaker.

The material features

Shale shaker will often appear enrichment phenomenon in the process of production, which means that the screen could be easily blocked by wedge block, the effective screening area is smaller and the process efficiency is lower. These are mainly related to the types and particle of the material, including the shatter value, the density, the particle size and the composition of the material particles.

Screen surface structure parameters

The screen surface length and width

The mesh shape

The mesh size and opening rate on the surface of the screen

The vibration motor characteristic impact

Vibration characteristic parameters include the rate of vibration frequency, amplitude and vibration to the angle and the surface of the screen angle. Shale shaker is the main facility of the solids control equipment. Whether the operation of the equipment is normal and reliable all have a great influence on shale shaker performance, which will affect the production efficiency and the quality of the product.

Other possible factors affect shaker performance

Shakers’ performance affected by personnel issues, too. Some of the operators are professional and experienced, while some of them are new users and don’t know operation knowledge well. The beginner may run shakers illegal, or ignore some information during shaker working

Furthermore, some little problem may lead big trouble on shaker performance. Such as the spring broken, the tensioning system. So, during the whole operation we need to pay attention on both the subjective and objective conditions.

Improving the shale shaker efficiency

Grasp the influence factors of vibrating sieve screening efficiency and rules and measures to enhance the efficiency of the sieve screening will be a great significance for shale shaker application.

There are many factors that influence performance of shale shaker. Improving the work efficiency of shale shaker should be in accordance with the actual situation after comprehensive consideration.
