Feeding Types of Kosun Ls Series Shale Shaker

The mud treated by other equipment or mud that returns from well will flow into the shale shaker through feeder tanks which has a buffer effect on the drilling fluid and can make the mud flow onto the screen equably. This can reduce the mud attack to the screen and increase screen work life and mud treatment efficiency. Meanwhile there is a square cover on the tank top and from here we can test the mud performance.

Weir height is usually a very important information for the shale shaker for oil and gas drilling mud program. Explanation is the fact that the drilling fluids fall directly to shake shaker from the higher pipeline with no any enable from pump or a thing likely, so at least the total height of tank and shale shaker weir ought to no higher than the outlet of fluids in the drilling rig.

In case the total height of weir height and tank height exceed the height of rig outlet, that is the case we don’t would like to see, since in that case, the drilling fluid from the rig is not going to attain the shale shaker. So KOSUN Solids Control supplies customers from distinctive fields for Oil&Gas drilling, HDD, Piling more optional feeding types of KOSUN LS Series shale shakers:

1. Weir feeder: traditional feeding type of oil&gas drilling solids handle shale shaker. Drilling fluids firstly enters into the box behind the shale shaker, when the fluids level is higher than the weir, it flows over weir and falls onto the shaker deck with screens. The function of weir feeding is to reduce the pressure and protect the shaker screens.

2. Box feeder in HDD or TBM projects, drilling fluid is not from the rigs, instead, it was conveyed by a pump from mud pit or probably places. So box feeder is possible here, it requires less space during transportation.

3. Hopper feeder: hopper feeding...
