EQUIPMENT FUNCTION
The MONGOOSE PRO Shale Shaker has a screen deck made of four pretensioned composite wire mesh screens.
Each Shale Shaker screen is secured to the basket with two screen wedges. An optional stainless steel vibratory
vent hood upgrade is available for jobs that require fume extraction. The Shale Shaker deck adjustment system
allows flexible control of fluid pool depth and beach length in a variety of drilling conditions.
The Shale Shaker is equipped with two explosion-proof vibratory motors that produce a dual motion system. The
normal mode is a progressive elliptical motion used during normal drilling conditions to maximize both cuttings
retention time and screen life. The motor output for this mode is 6.5Gs. The capacity mode is used during fluid
surges and heavy solids loading. The motor output is 7.5Gs when operating in capacity mode.
