Mud Solids Control Equipment

Drill solids are the main contaminant of all drilling fluids and therefore their control is of the utmost importance. There are 3 main ways of controlling solids:

• Dilution

• Mechanical removal

• Gravity Settling

shale shaker for solids control

I ever saw in the water well drilling site in Mongolia that they do not use any solids control equipments but only dig several mud pits, by this way, it is very low efficiency and Environmental Pollution.

Solids control system is a way for mechanical removal the drill solids. Mainly it includes screen devices & Centrifugal Separation Devices. Screen devices is the most important equipment called shale shaker. In the future of solids control system, shale shaker will become the only solids control equipment which will be used instead of desander, desilter, mud cleaner, decanter centrifuge by improvement of its design. At present, linear motion shale shaker is the most popular vibration mode shale shaker.

But the arrangement of vibration motor various by different shale shaker manufacturer. Sometimes it is vertical installed, sometimes it is horizontal installed, it doesnot mean that horizontal installed shale shaker must be balanced elliptical motion shale shaker, it might be linear motion shaker.

GN solids control developed a new product- mini shale shaker, model GNZS752. It can meet the requirement for the clients who do not need so large treating capacity, but want to find an economic way to separate big solids from the drilling fluids.

mini shale shaker

GNZS752 shale shaker with unit treating capacity 264gpm, 2 screen panels with total screen area 1.35m2, G-force 6.3G adjustable, total power of this shaker is only 1.0KW, and total weight 800 kgs. Based on these parameters, we called it mini shale shaker.

This linear motion shale shaker GNZS752 can be widely used in HDD, water well drilling , shadow drilling and other drillings which need small treating capacity. After the new mini shaker is developed, there are many clients showed their interests. Before they have to use bigger shaker 2-panel GNZS852 or even 3-panel GNZS703. These shakers can treat the drilling mud better because of their large treating capacity, but it is a waste of money.

Comparison between GNZS752 and Brandt mini Cobra 2-panel shaker

Motor power: Brandt mini Cobra is 1.1KW x 2 , GN mini shaker is 0.5KW x 2

Screen area: Brandt mini Cobra is 1.6m2, GN mini shaker is 1.35m2

Screen panel: Both of them are 2 panel

Screen type: pretension, repairable

GN new designed GNZS63-4 shale shaker is mainly used for drilling fluids separation for oilfiled drilling.

GNZS63-4 shale shaker

What consist of GNZS63-4 shale shaker?

Deck adjustment, vibration motor, shaker deck, base frame, support, baffle box, explosion proof starter, shaker screen, wedge plate, torsional spring ,etc.

Feature of GNZS63-4 shale shaker

(1). Adopt two sets same vibration motor take advantage of double motor in-phase principle, shaker deck makes linear motion vibration at 45°sling angle, some spare parts are interchangeable with other brand shale shaker

(2). Adopts high quality reliable vibration motor provides long time operation without any problem.

(3). Shaker screen can be flat type or pyramid one. According to drilling mud property the screen can be 10~200mesh

(4) Shaker screen will be tensioned by wedge plate, this is more convenient and easy for operation it is very reliable

(5) Shaker deck is adjustable, the adjustment is worm wheel and screw type. Beside shaker deck two sides middle shaft is connecting two worm, when we make adjustment the shaker deck will be consistent and in-phase

(6) The complete shaker body will be treated by sand-blast, paint it by anticorrosive painting so it is more anti-corrosive and better appearance.

Specs of GNZS63-4 shale shaker

1 Vibrating motor: 2 x1.94KW

2 Screen Area: 3.15㎡(33.9 sq ft)
