The NOV Metal Replacement Shale Shaker Screen is a high-performance steel frame filtration solution engineered for rigorous drilling environments. Specifically designed as a pre-tensioned screen, it provides superior structural integrity and precise fluid-solid separation, ensuring optimal performance for heavy-duty shale shaker operations.
Engineered for maximum operational efficiency, these screens feature a specialized design that allows for rapid replacement and secure installation via a wedge block clamping system. This minimizes downtime during screen changes and ensures a tight, vibration-resistant fit, making them the preferred choice for operators seeking reliability and ease of maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
A pre-tensioned screen is a mesh that has been stretched and fixed to the steel frame under tension during manufacturing. This prevents the mesh from sagging during vibration, increasing the efficiency of solids removal.
The wedge block system allows for a tool-less or low-tool rapid installation. It ensures the screen is clamped tightly against the shaker body, reducing vibration wear on the frame and speeding up the change-over process.
Yes, these replacement screens are specifically engineered to be fully compatible with NOV and SWACO shale shaker models, maintaining original equipment manufacturer (OEM) fit and function.
We use high-grade alloy steel for the frames to provide maximum resistance to the corrosive nature of drilling fluids and the high-G forces encountered in shaker operations.
Mesh size selection depends on the particle size of the solids you need to remove and the desired viscosity of the drilling mud. We recommend consulting our technical team with your mud report for the ideal specification.
Yes, the metal construction and high-strength steel frames are designed to remain stable and effective even in high-temperature and high-pressure drilling conditions.
