BEM Shale Shaker

Balanced Elliptical Motion Shale Shaker is an oilfield solids control equipment used for primary separation of drilled cuttings from drilling fluids in oil and gas drilling operations.

TR BEM shale shaker uses balanced elliptical motion technology, combining the conveying capability of linear vibration with the fluid recovery advantages of elliptical motion. The balanced elliptical vibration pattern moves drilled cuttings efficiently across the screen surface while recovering reusable drilling fluid during the separation process.

Compared with conventional linear motion shale shakers, the balanced elliptical trajectory improves solids movement, reduces screen blinding, and maintains effective screen openings during continuous drilling operations. Field operation results show that TR BEM shale shaker can increase drilling fluid processing capacity by up to 30% and improve cuttings discharge efficiency by up to 20% under similar operating conditions.

Key Features of BEM Shale Shaker

1. Balanced elliptical motion improves drilling fluid solids separation and cuttings conveyance.

2. Optimized vibration trajectory increases screen penetration and reduces screen blinding.

3. Large screening area increases drilling fluid processing capacity by up to 30%.

4. Efficient cuttings discharge improves performance with high-viscosity drilling fluids.

5. API shaker screen compatibility enables fast screen replacement and maintenance.

6. Heavy-duty steel construction withstands vibration loads during long-term oilfield drilling operations.

Balanced Elliptical Shale Shaker Technical Parameters

Working Principle of Elliptical Motion Shaker

The balanced elliptical motion is generated by two synchronized vibration motors rotating in opposite directions. The combined centrifugal forces produce an elliptical movement of the screen basket, with the screen surface moving along a fixed elliptical trajectory.

During operation, the horizontal component of vibration force transports drilled cuttings toward the discharge end, while the vertical component lifts and loosens the solids layer on the screen surface. Drilling fluid passes through the screen openings and returns to the mud circulation system, while separated solids are discharged from the shaker.

The balanced vibration force maintains a consistent elliptical motion across the screen deck, allowing continuous separation of solids from drilling fluid.
