Pacific Wire Panels shaker screen with HDX and RDX mesh offer long screen life, High Flow Capacity, Resistance to Blinding and efficient solids removal.

At Pacific Wire Panels we know that the performance of any shale shaker can be enhanced when the screen used optimizes drilled solids removal, processes the required circulation rates and provides extended operational life. Pacific Wire Panels improvements in screen technology can eliminate costly equipment upgrades to meet the faster drilling operations.

PWP has also designed the RDX and HDX series screens to compliment our high grade standard square mesh.

RDX Screens Reduce Operational Drilling Costs

In the past screen purchases were made purely on the basis of price, and screen performance was hardly a consideration. However, due to demanding changes of drilling operations the screens overall performance is now paramount.

The RDX mesh screen is a strong triple layer screen whose design includes wire diameters over 75% thicker than conventional screens, and 30% thicker than other suppliers “premium” screens. These thicker wires are more resistant to the wear and tear and ensure longer screen life.

The RDX also offers finer solids separation. Field test prove that some screen provided do not perform, as they should, by allowing finer solids through when they should be removed. RDX mesh weave does not lose its opening integrity during operational enabling it to remove finer solids.
When an RDX screen is named a 210 you can be sure that it will perform like it should. Longer screen life and finer solids separation come together to make the RDX screen a solid choice for any equipment.

HDX…Optimising Screen Performance

Pacific Wire Panels newly developed HDX shale shaker screen is designed to last longer, handle higher flow rates, resist blinding, and remover fine solids.

A good deal of screen failures can be blamed on the abrasive wear on the screen cloth. The HDX cloth offers wire diameters of up to 50% thicker than conventional screens. These thicker wires are stronger and more resistant to help ensure longer screen life.

The HDX combines high flow capacity performance of an aspect ratio rectangular mesh and the fine solids removal of a square mesh. Plus the HDX screen cloth is built to extend screen life.

Less Blinding with HDX Screen Cloth

The HDX weave has the inherent qualities of a multi-layer rectangular mesh screen. This advantage of resisting particle blinding avoids the associated cost of fluid loss over screens that “blind off”. Screen blinding occurs when particles become trapped and lodge themselves in the mesh. By using the HDX (compared to a square mesh) the tendency for blinding is reduced.
