The shale shaker operates on a straightforward physical principle — mechanical vibration applied to a screening surface to separate solid particles from a liquid suspension. However, the engineering required to execute this principle reliably at industrial scale is far from simple. Aipu brings decades of vibratory equipment expertise to transforming basic physics into robust, high-performance machinery.
Vibration Generation and Screen Dynamics
Aipu shakers use electrically driven vibrator motors with eccentric weights that create centrifugal force translating into directional vibratory motion. When two motors counter-rotate with precise phasing, they produce linear or elliptical motion. Under vibration, the solids bed stratifies, the directional motion conveys solids toward discharge, and gravity plus vibration pulls fluid through screen openings. The screen itself is dynamic — under vibration, screen wires move relative to one another, creating self-cleaning action that prevents particle entrapment.
