Shale shaker screen is fine mesh used for
filtering and separating drilling cuttings from drilling mud. To choose the correct
size shaker screen can help to guarantee the drilling efficiency. KES
Separation is committed to design the high-quality shaker screen to provide customers
the right screen for the perfect fit at good price.
The shale shaker screen is a mesh screen
that is created out of woven metal that goes inside the shale shaker. Whenever
solids or cuttings are produced from drilling equipment, they are coated in
drilling liquid. When those cuttings are shaken over shale shaker screens, the
screen is able to capture all of the solid particles and allow any excess mud
to drip through the screen where it can then be deposited back into the tank.
There are many different types of shale shaker screens available on the market today, each with different types of weaving to create the screen and different sizes of mesh. Ultimately choosing the best screen comes down to choosing the finest mesh you possibly can that doesn’t result in drilling liquid being lost from the front of the shaker screen that match the type of shaker equipment you are using.
