What is a Wedge Block?

A wedge block is a critical component in shale shaker systems that secures the screen panels to the shaker frame. It's a wedge-shaped device that creates tension and clamps the screen firmly in place, allowing for quick screen replacement while maintaining operational integrity.

Function in Mongoose Shale Shaker

For Mongoose shale shakers , wedge blocks serve three primary purposes:

1. Screen Attachment: Fastens pre-tensioned screens to the shaker basket

2. Tensioning: Creates a tight fit by wedging between screen edges and support bars on the shaker sidewalls

3. Quick Replacement: Enables screen changes in under 2 minutes

How It Works

Mongoose shakers typically use 4 screens per basket. The process involves:

Placing the screen on the slightly crowned screen bed

Driving wedge blocks between the screen edges and frame supports

The crown design causes the screen to bow when wedges are inserted, creating uniform tension across the surface

Mongoose Wedge typically made of durable polymers or metal alloys.Works with all Mongoose series shakers.

Advantages

Rapid Screen Changes: Reduces downtime during maintenance

Ease of Use: Simple installation/removal without special tools

Secure Fit: Prevents screen movement during high-vibration operation

Uniform Tension: Ensures consistent screening performance

The wedge block is an essential component that ensures reliable operation of Mongoose shale shaker screens. Its simple yet effective design enables quick screen changes while maintaining optimal screening performance in demanding oilfield environments.
