Function and structure of shale shaker

The function of shale shaker
The shale shaker also can be called vibration device. It is the first stage solids control equipment in system. Usually it can separate particles larger than 76 microns. The drilling mud flow through the high set pipeline get to the baffle box on the shaker or directly to the distribution box. Then the shale shaker begins working to shake the drilling mud with solids.
After it processing, the solid particles size will be smaller than 76microns. The clean mud will fall into the shaker compartment or settling compartment.
