Brandt King Cobra Shale Shaker Screens are are used on King Cobra series shale shakers to separate drill cuttings from drilling fluids, which helps recover and reuse expensive drilling mud while protecting downstream equipment. 
The screens are available in different types, materials, and mesh sizes to suit various drilling conditions. 

Screen types and materials

• BHX series screen: A pretension steel frame replacement screen for the Brandt King Cobra shale shaker that is clamped by a wedge block.
• Pinnacle series (PNN) and Venom series (PXL): Screens designed to fit the entire Cobra, King Cobra, and LCM-3D shaker series. Venom series screens are known for their extended life, durability, and high separation efficiency.
• Material options: Most screens are constructed from high-tensile stainless steel, such as Grades 304 or 316. Grade 316 provides better resistance to corrosion in harsh, chemically-treated mud environments.
• Frame options: Frames come in steel, composite, or composite polymer materials. Composite frames increase durability, reduce corrosion, and are often preferred for lightweight, high-durability solutions in offshore environments. 

• Dimensions: A typical screen is around 130 cm x 60 cm (51" x 24"), though sizes can vary depending on the specific shaker model.
• Mesh sizes: Available in a wide range of sizes, typically from API 20 to API 325.
• Multi-layer design: Many screens feature multiple layers of mesh (one to five layers) for increased screening efficiency, structural support, and reduced blinding.
• Performance tiers: Screens are often offered in standard, premium, and extended-life tiers. 

• High efficiency: The screens ensure effective separation of solids and fluids, contributing to the recovery of valuable drilling mud and minimizing fluid loss.
• Increased screen life: Features like multi-layer designs, anti-blinding technology, and composite frames can extend the screen's operational life by up to 30% compared to conventional screens.
• Improved equipment life: By removing abrasive solids early in the process, the screens protect downstream equipment like mud pumps from premature wear.
• Environmental compliance: Efficient fluid recovery reduces the amount of drilling waste that needs to be disposed of, which helps companies comply with environmental regulations.
• Versatile applications: While primarily used in oil and gas drilling, King Cobra screens can also be used for industrial processes like wastewater treatment, food processing, and mining.
