Shale Shaker Screens for Oil Drilling and Solids Control
Shale shaker screens are essential filtration elements used in oil and gas drilling, mining operations, and industrial wastewater treatment. Their primary function is to remove drilled cuttings, sand, and solid particles from drilling fluid, ensuring stable mud circulation, reduced equipment wear, and improved drilling efficiency.

Steel frame screens are mostly applied to the shale shakers with wedge fastening equipment.
Structure: They are constructed mostly with two or three stainless steel mesh fabric layers bonded tightly to the steel frame. The frame is made up of the high-strength square steel tube or flat
Steel welded to multi- ribbed construction. These layers are coupled with the frame through metal backing plate or bonded straightly as well. We possess the strong experience and the ripe technology,and will provide various specifications of steel frame screens to serve the clients' demands.
Features of Steel Framed Shale Shaker Screen:
.Different layers with different density.To arrange these layers reasonably and exactly,the screening effect will become more better.
.High strength frame,multi-ribs and the mesh cloth with moderate tension,from one reliable combination,which can increase screen's acceptabl flow,the intensity and the lifetime.
.The wedge-shaped fastening device,can make the erection of screens more handily and quickly.
.The mesh, divided into many independent small units by grids of the backing plate, can prevent rips or tears from spreading overmuch. Accessary prepared rubber stoppers can be used repair damages. By doing so,the operator can cut down the stop-time and reduce the cost.
