How to choose a Shale Shaker？
Shale shaker is an important equipment for solid-liquid separation, widely used in screening and grading of drilling fluid and other materials. Among them, the processing capacity is a key parameter, which is used to indicate the amount of material passing through the screen surface per unit time, usually measured in tons/hour (t/h). The actual processing capacity is affected by many factors, including the Shale Shaker's own motion parameter selection, drilling fluid type, density, viscosity, size and content of solid particles, and hole network size and other factors.
First of all, the motion parameters of the shale shaker are one of the key factors affecting the processing ability. These parameters include vibration frequency, vibration amplitude and inclination angle, etc. By choosing these parameters reasonably, the screening effect can be optimized and the processing capacity can be improved, so as to achieve higher production efficiency and operation effect.
Secondly, the properties of the drilling fluid also have an important impact on the processing capacity. The type, density and viscosity of the drilling fluid will affect the fluidity and separation efficiency of the material on the screen surface, thereby affecting the ability of the screening process.
In addition, the size and content of solid phase particles are also factors that need to be considered. Larger particles may block the sieve holes and reduce the processing capacity, so the characteristics of solid phase particles should be fully considered during design and use.
Finally, choosing the mesh size of the
shale shaker is also critical. Different application scenarios and materials to be processed require meshes of different sizes. Reasonable selection of mesh size can ensure the required screening effect and processing capacity.
