Cross beam is part construction of drilling shale shaker which usually points to the part that support the vibration motors. Therefore, cross beams are always required to be solid and strong enough to maintain the normal operation of shale shaker. Good working condition relates to well design, production and proper operation of the equipment, while in the practice, cross beams are usually getting broken and can’t be repaired even cause the drilling shale shaker stopping working. Many cases have happened during operation practice, no matter imported or domestic shale shaker. This essay mainly discusses cause of broken cross beam on the operation aspect.

As is mentioned on the above description, cross beam is just spare part of a shale shaker which is joined by the hook bolts. From this point cross beam seems to be a spare part can’t fixed. This is not a comprehensive explanation because even hook bolts may cause terrible accidents in operation. As the figures in this essay we can cleanly find that motors are set on the beam by several hook bolts, and if the bolts get loosened, definitely will cause excessive hitting force to the beam by motors. Affected by extremely powerful force, cross beam is sure to get destroyed and finally occurs the phenomenon of broken cross beam.

Therefore, the maintenance of cross beam focuses on check of the hook bolts, and any loosened situation should be attached enough attention. Usually, once maintenance of the bolt one week is recommended. If the beam gets broken, it makes sure that crack should be welded timely and strongly, and if the beam is seriously destroyed, do change new one to ensure operation safety.
