13.1.3
Adjusting Basket (Deck) Angle
The basket deck angle is manually adjustable between -3° to +3° degrees (Refer to Figure 25). Lower deck angle
settings result in longer screen life and wetter cuttings. Higher angle settings result in drier cuttings and increase
fluid capacity. The fluid end point is affected by adjusting the basket angle or selecting a different screen mesh
size.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE AIR/PNEUMATIC RATCHET OR WRENCH TO ADJUST THE DECK
ANGLE JACK.
DO NOT ADJUST MORE THAN 2° PER SIDE WHEN ADJUSTING THE DECK ANGLE.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WILL RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
1.
Locate manual jacks on discharge end of shaker
2.
Using a manual ratchet, wrench or screen clamping wedge, adjust the 1-¼” nut located on top of jack to raise or
lower the basket.
3.
Adjust each side to desired position. Always set each side to the SAME angle.
4.
Set basket at any angle between -3° and + 3°.
5.
Change fluid end point by adjusting basket angle or by careful selection of mesh size.
NOTE
ALWAYS OPERATE THE SHAKER WITH THE LOWEST POSSIBLE BASKET ANGLE
THAT MEETS CAPACITY REQUIREMENTS. A STEEP INCLINE WILL RESULT IN
OVERLOADING THE SCREEN AND DECREASED SCREEN LIFE.
TIP
OPERATORS CAN ADJUST THE DECK ANGLE WHILE THE SHALE SHAKER IS
OPERATING WITHOUT DAMAGING THE EQUIPMENT. UNIT SHUT DOWN IS NOT
REQUIRED.
