Let’s talk about shale shakers on a drilling rig.
This piece of equipment separates cuttings from the drilling fluid. Above the bed rubbers, we install screens.

The style screen can vary as well as the size mesh on the screen. After positioning the screens, each screen is individually locked down, making it possible to replace one bad screen if the others are still good. Now that the mud is at the shakers, it is filtered, allowing mud to fall through the screen as cuttings are diverted out of the system.
