Oil drilling shale shaker working mechanism

Drilling fluids are integral to the drilling process and have many functions, such as lubricate and cool the drill bit as well as convey the drilled cuttings away from the bore hole. These fluids are a mixture of various chemicals in a water or oil based solution and can be very expensive to make. For both environmental reasons and to reduce the cost of drilling operations drilling fluid losses are minimized by stripping them away from the drilled cuttings before the cuttings are disposed of, this is done using a multitude of specialized solids control equipment and tanks.

Shale shaker is a vital component of drilling fluid processing system in many industries, such as coal cleaning, mining, oil and gas drilling. They are considered to be the first phase of a solids control system on a drilling rig, they are used to remove large solids also called cuttings from the drilling fluid, more commonly called “Mud” due to its similar appearance.

After returning to the surface of the well, the used drilling fluid flows directly to the shale shakers where it begins to be processed. Once processed by the shale shakers the drilling fluid is deposited into the mud tanks where other solid control equipment begin to remove the finer solids from it. The solids removed by the shale shaker are discharged out of the discharge port into a separate holding tank where they await further treatment or disposal.

The shaker screen is equipped on the basket of shale shaker, with three or four pieces screen panels, while the screen basket is driven by two sets of vibration motors which are mounted on the top of shale shaker with synchronization and contrary rotation. There exists one piece of eccentric block in the vibration motor. When motor works, the eccentric block also rotate. As there are two sets of vibration motors working synchronized, at some point, the vibration force that generated by the eccentric blocks is sum of these two blocks effect force. While at some point, the vibration force of motors would be zero.

In oil & gas drilling solids control industry, linear motion shale shaker are widely used for drilling mud purification system.
