A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The screen area typically ranges from 2.5 to 5.5 square meters, which determines the processing capacity. Confirm the exact value for your specific model.
Screen mesh sizes typically range from 20 to 325 mesh, with API RP 13C designations available. The appropriate mesh size depends on the drilling mud properties and solids removal requirements.
Shale shakers typically use dual vibrator motors with a total power of 2×1.5 to 2×2.2 kW. The power supply is 380-690 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 3-phase, per IEC 60038. Verify with the manufacturer for your application.
Common materials include carbon steel, stainless steel, polyurethane, and rubber. These materials are used for the frame, screens, and sealing components. Confirm material grades with the supplier.
