MONGOOSE Shale Shaker VS Flo-Line® Cleaner 503 Drying Shaker

Swaco Mongoose Shale Shaker and  Derrick FLC 503/504 drying shaker are widely known as top solids control equipments . Swaco and Derrick are both well known all over the world. They are specialist on solids control in many industry such as oil and gas well drilling, HDD, civil industry, mining industry, etc. Swaco Mongoose and Derrick FLC 503/504 drying shaker  have much difference specifications, such as shaker screen, dimension, treating capacity. And these features results their different strength on various aspect.

Swaco Mongoose Shale Shaker can be said the best possible solids control that required what once seemed impossible, Mongoose shaker can adapt as solids characteristics change. The ground-breaking design of the Mongoose shaker allows operators to use linear motion while drilling top-hole sections where heavy, high-volume solids such as gumbo are usually encountered.

Derrick FLC 503/504 drying shaker can be configured to be used as standard rig shakers and are easily transported. The standard skids includes lifting lugs at all four corners and fork truck guides. There are optional bolt-on underflow hoppers, in both standard and low profile heights. The standard feed trough can be changed to a conventional top or weir feeder. This allows one shaker to be used as either drying shaker or a rig shaker, making it one of the most versatile shakers on the market.

MONGOOSE PRO shaker was engineered to operate in both the Capacity and Efficiency modes of operation.est results from the well confirmed the superior performance of the MONGOOSE PRO shaker. To maintain comparative control, both shakers were installed with the same parameters: deck angle (0°), screen mesh (API 140), and fluid pond coverage (75% screen coverage). During the 8 1/2 in. section at a depth of 3,300 ft (1,006 m) with an ROP of 100 ft/hr (30.4 m/hr), the MONGOOSE PRO processed a maximum flow rate of 410 GPM, or 70% of the overall circulating flow rate. Meanwhile, the control shaker processed a maximum flow rate of 293 GPM, amounting to only 50% of the overall circulating rate. Compared to the control shaker, the MONGOOSE PRO, while running in the Efficiency mode, averaged an overall 28% increase in maximum flow rate, but 20% on the well volume.

FLC 503 Drying shale shakers offer many features of the FLC 500 series shakers but at a lower cost. Powered by two Derrick Super G vibrating motors, the 503 is a 3-panel machine that operates at 7.0 Gs (Super G2 motors are available as an option). Processing rates vary from 560 GPM of a 17.8 PPG fluid using DX-A140* screens on an FLC 503. The available screening area per API RP 13C for the FLC 503 is 24.9 square foot with the Pyramid screen and 34.5 square foot with the Pyramid Plus screen.

In short, Swaco Mongoose shaker VS Derrick FLC 503/504 shaker both have done rather well. The advanced specification of Mongoose shaker is it can be switched as linear motion shale shaker and balanced elliptical motion shale shaker according to actual drilling fluids condition. While  Derrick FLC 503/504 will give you convenient maintenance and more economical cost.
