The Maintenance of Drilling Shale Shaker and Shaker Screen' Usual Care

Mar 28, 2014

Shale shaker is the first phase solids control equipment in drilling fluids system, also known as key solids control equipment in drilling mud system. Shale shaker decides performance of the whole solids control system. It can ensure the following stages of solids control system of the mud treatment effect and service life. In drilling mud solids control system, shale shaker is the indispensable equipment.

The maintenance of oilfield shale shaker is important as well.

The maintenance of drilling shale shaker

1. Remove the dust on shell to cool the motor basing when the surface is clean.

2. Inspect once a month if the fix parts of motor base and nuts of end cover loosen. If they do, stop the machine and tighten them.

3. Add the LGHP2 lubrication once with filling gun. The filling is no more than 26g for each shaft. Re-add every 2000 hours.

4. Observe the temperature raising of motor (the temperature raising means the running temperature subtract ambient temperature ) once half a month to see if the temperature rises abnormally. If the running temperature of bearing of motor shell exceeds 100℃, consult the KOSUN in time.

5. Check if the cable is scored or damaged. Change it if damaged then. Once three months.

6. Ensure the grounding resistance of motor shell is no more than 0 ohms. Once three months.

Shale shaker screen's usual care

1. Wash down screens with power washer regularly.

2. Check screens for tear or rips.

3. Make sure screens are properly mounted.

4. Make sure shaker is at proper angle.

5. Check wiring, or a regular basis high speed shakers tend to wear through wiring insulation.
