The VSM 300 is an extremely simple machine to operate, maintenance is minimal, and screen changing is carried out in 2 to 3 minutes by one operator.
Supplied in modular form, the VSM 300 can be assembled on-site to produce multiple units, thereby reducing installation time and costs. The proven shallow header tank system provides equal flow distribution across the shakers, even when multiple units are installed. The VSM 300 can also be retrofitted to VSM 100™ skids. This significantly reduces installation costs on rigs on which VSM 100 shakers are already installed.
Features/Benefits
- Balanced elliptical motion
- Effective removal of sticky, hydrated clays
- Adjustable G-force
- Adjustments in G-force (4, 6, or 8 G’s) to adapt to changes in drilling conditions
Integrated scalping deck (three screens) - Reduces the need for (and subsequent costs and weight of) upstream scalping shakers and/or gumbo equipment
- 20.5 ft2 (1.9 m2) of screen area
- Adjustments in G-force (4, 6, or 8 G’s) to adapt to changes in drilling conditions
- Primary deck angled at 7° incline (four screens)
- Excellent solids conveyance and liquid/solids separation, even when reactive formations are encountered
- Keeps the mud pool volume small, which helps to increase screen life
- 26.3 ft2 (2.4 m2) of screen area
- Integrated drying deck (two screens; optional)
- Reduces mud losses by creating a dry solids discharge
- Provides 3.0 ft2 (0.3 m2) of screen 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
