Description
VSM 300 Scalping Steel Frame Shale Shaker Screens Explained
The scalping deck screen sits on the top deck of the NOV Brandt VSM300 shaker. Its job is to separate large cuttings and protect the primary steel frame shale shaker screens below.
- Scalping deck = first stage, removing large drilled solids
- Primary deck = main solids removal (bulk mud processing)
- Secondary/Drying deck = final stage for fluid recovery
Because it prevents overload of the VSM300 primary shale shaker screens, the steel frame scalping screen usually uses coarser mesh sizes (API 10–60).
