Patent ID: 11267018

Abstract:
A shale shaker buffer and wear reduction barrier, placed between a shale shaker filter screen, shale shaker wear items and a shale shaker deck of a shale shaker for the prevention of vibratory and friction-induced wear that is reversibly adhered, placeable and replaceable to a shale shaker filter screen, shale shaker wear items and a shale shaker deck of a shale shaker basket to decrease wear on a shale shaker's functional components, singularly and in combination. The buffer and wear reduction barrier that is the present invention serves the additional function of a solids control barrier as an operable seal between a shale shaker filter screen, wear items and deck of a shale shaker to obviate entrance of solids into mud pits via wear induced areas of separation between shale shaker filter screen, wear items and a deck of a shale shaker.
