In oil drilling operations, the performance of drilling mud directly impacts drilling efficiency and safety. Choosing the right primary solids control equipment is critical, as it handles the initial separation task within the mud recycling system.
The Heart of Mud Solids Control Systems
The KOSUN LS Series Linear Motion Shale Shaker is primarily designed to remove large volumes of coarse drill cuttings from the mud, ensuring the cleaned fluid can seamlessly proceed to secondary separation equipment, such as desanders and desilters. This unit can operate independently or in dual/triple configurations. When paired with KOSUN’s original distribution manifolds, it effectively meets the demands of high-flow drilling operations.
High-Frequency Linear Vibration and Superior Separation
The LS Series shale shaker is a high-frequency linear vibration machine equipped with two high-performance vibrator motors and four standard pretensioned screens. Its design focuses on maximizing efficiency and durability:
Direct G-Force Application: The vibrator motors are mounted to the shaker basket via high-strength support beams. This ensures that the excitation force (G-force) is transmitted directly to the screens, maximizing solid-liquid separation efficiency.
Structural Optimization: The center of the shaker basket features a slightly convex design. This structure facilitates optimal screen tensioning, enhancing screen performance and significantly extending its service life.
AWD Angle Adjustment System
During field operations, changing geological formations often lead to fluctuations in mud properties. The LS Series shale shaker is equipped with the advanced AWD (Awake Wheel Drive) manual angle adjustment system, providing unparalleled operational flexibility:
Adjustment Without Downtime: Operators can adjust the shale shaker basket angle in real-time from -1° to +5° while the drilling process is ongoing.
Scenario Adaptation: Depending on operational needs, the angle can be adjusted to optimize discharge speed or mud retention time on the shale shaker screen surface, achieving the best possible separation results.
