VSM 300 Shale Shaker

The BRANDT VSM 300 shale shaker delivers a dramatic increase in capacity through unique vibratory motion and screen deck layouts

VSM 300 with Canister Motor
Description

Combining outstanding performance, reliability, and ease of use.

The BRANDT™ VSM 300™ cascade shaker delivers outstanding solids separation performance with unsurpassed reliability and durability. The innovative, integrated deck design of the VSM 300 incorporates a scalping deck, primary deck, and optional drying deck. This truly unique design, coupled with balanced elliptical motion, enables the shaker to maximize solids conveyance and liquid/solid separation. The pneumoseal screen clamping system allows screens to quickly be changed by a single operator. Furthermore, the canister motor drive system offers improved reliability, reduces maintenance requirements, and lowers the total cost of ownership.

The VSM 300 can be equipped with a fume extraction hood for safe extraction of fumes out of the shaker house. The unit's modular design allows for use in stand-alone operations or provides the flexibility of connecting up to eight units with a common sump and integrated flow distribution system.

Get the most out of your VSM 300 by incorporating remote manual feed gate control and CONSTANT-G CONTROL™ (CGC). Remote manual feed gates allow for the operator to adjust the amount of fluid received by the shaker remotely while CGC optimizes shaker performance by automatically adjusting the basket G-force during operation. 

Features/Benefits

  • Balanced elliptical motion
  • Available with CONSTANT-G CONTROLTM (CGC), a patented technology that maintains an optimal G-force rating during variable liquid/solids loading conditions
  • CGC improves flow capacity, provides constant solids conveyance and finer screening capacity
  • Integrated scalping deck (three screens)
  • Reduces the need for (and subsequent costs and weight of) upstream scalping shakers
  • 20.5 ft2 (1.9 m2) of screening area 
  • Primary deck angled at 7° incline (four screens)
  • Excellent solids conveyance and liquid/solids separation, even when troublesome drilling conditions arise
  • Keeps the fluid pool volume small, which helps to increase screen life
  • 26.3 ft2 (2.4 m2) of screening area
  • Integrated drying deck (two screens)
  • Reduced mud losses by creating a dry solids discharge
  • 3 ft2 (0.3m2) of screening area
  • Pneumoseal clamping system
  • Screens are properly secured to the basket for quick and easy screen changes
  • Variable frequency drive (VFD) control
  • Soft-starting fingertip adjustments of motor speed and matching of G-force to operating conditions
