shale shaker is the most effective and reliable method available for capturing and removing metal particles from drilling mud that the shale shaker cannot remove. It traps all magnetic metals and holds them until they can be removed from the mud stream. This unit is especially valuable during milling operations. Removing mill cuttings and debris reduces wear on mud pumps and other equipment while eliminating problems caused by the return downhole of harmful debris. They are equally effective during washover and fishing jobs.
