Shale shaker, especially linear motion shale shaker has been widely used in the separation industry, such as coal separation, drilling solids control and so on. Shale shaker is tend to be damaged, and longtime incorrect operation may directly lower the servicing life of  Linear Motion Shale Shaker. In the essay, simple solutions will be described to prolong serving life of linear shale shaker in drilling field solids control.

Working principle is favorable to help us make clear the correct ways to maintain linear motion shale shaker. Drilling Fluids shale shaker is the first stage of solid control equipment in drilling purification system. It’s used to remove cuttings above 75um brought from the drilling well to leave the liquid with smaller particles into the tanks blew, which will flow into next grade solids control equipment to be treated.

Affected by force generated from the eccentricity masses of the vibration motor, the vibration beam generates linear or elliptical motion. Meanwhile, two motors rotate in reverse direction and move mutually to generate vibration which tends to force the whole screen case to move up and down along the vertical direction. Then the drilling mud is tossed upwards and forced to move forward when it falls on the screen. The above motion would repeat when the shale shaker is working and the drilling mud will flow into the mud tank through the screen while the bigger particles will be filtered finally. At this stage, drilling mud purification is done.

According to the above description, we may get general ideas to prolong linear shale shaker serving life.

Before start the shale shaker, make sure that the screen is checked and the hook is well jointed. When the machine is working, try to note that if there are any abnormal noises, and examine if there are any possibility that the bolts is loosened. Also pay attention to the shale shaker working performance.After working is suspended, clear the machine well enough.
