What is a Vacuum Suction Shale Shaker?
It is a high-performance shale shaker that combines linear motion vibration with vacuum-assisted separation beneath the screen, significantly improving drilling fluid recovery and producing drier cuttings.
How does the vacuum system improve solids control efficiency?
The vacuum enhances fluid flow through the screen while vibration separates solids, reducing screen blinding, increasing throughput, and improving overall separation efficiency in challenging drilling conditions.
What performance improvements can be expected?
Operators typically achieve:
20–40% higher drilling fluid recovery
30–50% improvement in separation efficiency
Significantly lower Oil-on-Cuttings (OOC) levels
Reduced waste disposal volume
What types of drilling operations is it suitable for?
It is designed for demanding environments, including oil & gas drilling, OBM/SBM systems, geothermal drilling, CBM, HDD, tunneling, and large civil engineering projects.
Is the system compatible with existing solids control equipment?
Yes. It integrates seamlessly with standard solids control systems such as mud tanks, desanders, desilters, centrifuges, and vertical cuttings dryers.
Does it require electrical power or special safety certification?
No electrical power is required for vacuum operation. The system is fully air-driven and complies with IECEx and ATEX explosion-proof standards for hazardous drilling environments.
