1.AWD Angle Adjustment System

The patented lifting system allows for easy and quick operation, and simple maintenance. Compared with the usual lifting device of hydraulic cylinder, AWD deck angle adjustment system enables one person to steplessly raise or lower the screen basket from -1℃ to +5℃ without interrupting operation only by turning the handle, which is convenient and efficient. The angles at left and right sides of screen basket are synchronously adjusted, which is more convenient and stable, and can avoid the common mud deviation. The rolling pulley structure is more labor-saving than the sliding type.

2.Feeder

The mud returned from the well or cuttings to be treated will flow into the shale shaker via the feeder. The feeders can be categorized into weir type, box type and bucket type. The weir type and box type feeders are mainly used to buffer the flow rate of drilling fluid and evenly distribute the fluid onto the screen to reduce the impact of drilling fluid on the screen, extend the service life of screen and improve the treatment effect. Besides, the weir type feeder can also short-circuit the machine if necessary. The bucket type feeder is mainly used with the dryer shaker to collect and distribute cuttings.

3.Locking Device

It adopts a self-locking structure, possesses a reliable performance and can be easily operated. It only takes 30 seconds to lock or unlock the screen box. On the market, most shale shakers are fastened by bolts, the operation consumes more time and labor, and fasteners are easily lost.

4.Tensioning System

The tensioning system is stable in performance and reliable in structure, which experiences 15 years of field use. It can effectively tension KOSUN Series Screens.

5.Vibrating Motor

KOSUN Shale Shakers apply Italian Oli Explosion-proof Motors, which can effectively guarantee the power supply, stability and security of the equipment in the well site environment.
