KOSUN LS584 Series Shale Shaker is a high-frequency linear-motion vibrating screen machine, equipped with three screen panels and two vibrating motors, and offering a choice of manually adjusting screen frame angle while drilling (AWD). The shale shaker can be used separately, or be combined by double or multiple ones, and our company can provide corresponding diversion manifold.

When KOSUN Drilling Fluid Shale Shaker works, the screen frame angle can be adjusted from -1° to +5° by dint of innovation of its structural design. KOSUN LS584 Series Shale Shaker can separate drilling cuttings efficiently. Fix vibrating motors onto a high-strength supporting beam of screen frame, and position them on the screen bed, and the positioning in this way can make vibrating motors directly exert G-forces on screens. The isolation mounts can protect the bedframe from vibration effect of the screen frame. The screen bed humps slightly in favor of tensioning screens. This method of tensioning screens can enhance performance and service life of screens. Mud is fed to KOSUN Mud Treatment Shale Shaker via the collection pan of desilter and desander or via the feeder.

KOSUN LS584 Series Shale Shaker is the first-stage solids control equipment in the drilling fluid solids phase control system, and separates a large amount of cuttings carried by mud from wellhead, facilitating mud to enter the second-stage separation equipment.

Main Components: Major components of KOSUN Solid Control Shale Shaker include screen frame, vibrating motor, screen tensioning system, AWD, locking device, feeder, electrical system, etc.

When using a shale shaker in drilling rig, if you encounter overheating, as a shale shaker manufacturer, let’s discuss how to handle the situation when a shale shaker in drilling rig overheats!

Improper bearing selection
The use type, limiting speed, installation fit size, clearance, and self-lubricating performance of bearings have high requirements. Common bearings are prone to damage when working under harsh conditions. If the bearing selection is improper during the design phase, the bearing service life will be shortened.

Solution: Use specialized bearings. Commonly used bearings for vibrating screens generally include cylindrical roller bearings and spherical roller bearings. Both have a large radial load capacity, and the former has a higher limiting speed and a stronger ability to bear dynamic and static loads. However, it requires higher coaxiality of the bearing seat hole. The latter has good self-aligning performance and can compensate for the different shaft problems caused by the processing of the bearing seat hole, but it cannot withstand pure axial loads.

Uneven force during bearing assembly, such as uneven force on the inner and outer rings during cold assembly, resulting in a certain amount of skew between the inner and outer rings of the bearing or the bearing hole, leading to faster wear during operation.

Solution: Use specialized tooling to ensure that the inner or outer ring of the bearing is evenly pressed during the assembly process.

Large error in the center of gravity of the shale shaker, causing abnormal operation of the screen body and overheating and damage to the bearings.

Solution: The ideal working state of the shale shaker is stable operation of the entire machine, with consistent amplitudes everywhere. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly control the production and installation accuracy of the product, ensure that the center of gravity position does not shift, and try to feed uniformly.

Loose fixing bolts of the exciter, or failure to install anti-loosening spring washers, causing the center of the exciter to tremble, leading to overheating and damage to the bearings.

Solution: For the first use of the exciter, recheck the fastening bolts after running for 2 hours and 50 hours. If any loosening is found, tighten it immediately.

The shale shaker is a common screening device that works by G-forces to separate materials on the screen based on their particle size.
The shale shaker used in petroleum drilling consists of a screen box, two motors providing G-force, a screen frame, an angle adjustment system, a quick locking device, screen mesh, and a feed box. When the shale shaker starts working, it generates a certain vibration force that places the material on the screen. Through the action of vibration forces, the material is sifted on the screen to achieve the purpose of separation.
In summary, the working principle of a shale shaker is to use vibration forces to separate materials on the screen, achieving the separation of different particle sizes through various screen mesh sizes.

KOSUN S™ series shaker family consists of linear motion (LS) shale shakers and Balanced Elliptical Motion (ES) shakers. KOSUN shakers LS series and ES series are mostly used for the primary, scalping, fine separating, and drying stage of soft to medium-hard drilled solids in various drilling fluids, for both oil-based and water-based.

Based on a combination of innovative design and highly advanced technology, KOSUN shale shakers allow high throughput capacities to be achieved in a compact machine design. These features facilitate the layout and design of the complete shale shaker for the mud system. Shaker dimensions can be significantly reduced, ensuring low investment costs and saving space for other oil tools, especially for offshore drilling plants.

When choosing the appropriate shale shaker type, the deciding criteria are the technical requirements, such as the material (drilling fluids) properties: drilling mud viscosity, velocity of flow, feeding solids size; desired product size and capacity etc, as well as the optimum investment and operating costs.

KOSUN LS series shakers are ideal for high-capacity processing and the compact and easy-to-service design makes them a perfect choice for fast conveyance and heavy loading in tough drilling conditions. When drilling top-hole sections or while heavy-volume solids are encountered, in these intervals, shakers are required to generate high G-forces to effectively move high-capacity drilled solids across the screens.

KOSUN ES series shakers are the best choice for max retention time and frequency for the high need for dryer drilled cuttings in light-loading drilling conditions. The unique balanced elliptical basket and easy-to-service design make them a wonderful choice for reducing solids control operation costs. When faced with gentle light-loading drilling fluids, the ES shakers are required to reduce G-forces and maintain longer screen residence time, this results in drier solids, better drilling fluid recovery, longer screen life, and reduced operating costs.

The KOSUN shale shakers LS series and ES series have a wide field of use as they can easily be matched to changes in production through the proper selection of OPERATION MODE. And over 3000 KOSUN S shakers were sold to be taken into use for drilling industries, including OIL&GAS, CBM, HDD, CIVIL&CITY, etc. What`s more, they can be also versatile for mining and other industries.
