Description

VSM 300 Scalping Deck Explained

The scalping deck screen is installed on the top deck of the NOV Brandt VSM 300 shaker. Its role is to remove large solids and cuttings before the mud reaches the primary screen.

  • Scalping = first separation stage (large particles).

  • Primary = main solids removal (bulk of mud volume).

  • Secondary/Drying = final recovery of drilling fluid.

Because it protects the lower decks, the scalping screen often uses coarser mesh sizes (API 10–60) and is critical for extending the life of the primary screen.
