Athena replacement shaker screens meet API RP13C standards and are available for the
leading manufacturers of shale shakers.
A two-dimensional (and to some
extent, three-dimensional) patchwork
of stainless-steel waft and weave
wires interlock to form the final mesh,
which is stretched into two or more
layers and fit across the shaker’s
bed. Tensioning can be applied as
part of the shale-shaker mechanism
or pre-tensioned on a rigid frame.
Shale shakers come in a variety of
shapes and sizes, and today’s designs
are fundamentally the same as those
produced 50 years ago, consisting of a
metal basket that vibrates from forces
generated by multiple electric motors.
This vibration accelerates the natural
settling of solids in the drilling fluid as the
fluid passes over and through the shaker.
The vibration function has evolved over
the years into a combination of elliptical
and linear motion; but the essential
part of this solids-control process is
the screen and its designed function.

We offer a broad range of shale-shaker screens in our portfolio:
Shaker-screen performance is vital in solids control efficiency and plays a significant role in well construction
delivery. Our responsibility as a consumer is to provide the best possible product for our integrated projects
and clients alike. Since we use the products we sell, we demand high-quality screens.
Field testing has shown that Athena shaker screens offer equal or higher quality and outperform
other OEM and major aftermarket screen suppliers.

We prepare a sample of each screen design for conductance
testing to confirm our mesh combinations produce the intended
flow rates and perform sieve tests to ensure D100 screen
ratings comply with API RP 13C requirements.
Triple-layer, square-woven wire cloth
Athena OEM replacement-screen cloths are made of woven,
stainless wire bonded to perforated plates and are available
to fit all major manufacturers’ shale shakers. For other designs,
we use stainless-steel wire cloth affixed directly to a welded
frame. Our screens are manufactured to ISO13501 standards,
ensuring they are fit-for-purpose and can handle the toughest
solids, enabling better control of drilling fluids and improving
overall efficiency of drilling operations.

Wire quality greatly impacts the efficiency of shaker screens.
We analyzed manufacturing and quality control of shaker
screens and found that some screens had a lifespan ten
times longer than others. We select the most effective
manufacturing techniques and quality assurance programs,
Ensuring Athena screens demonstrate the durability
that our clients demand.
We designed a fine, three-layer square-woven cloth mesh
that improves efficiency during drilling operations. Our
screens last longer and maximize solids control, improving
return-on-investment (ROI) over time.
Our replacement screens have been meticulously designed
to provide a precise fit for your shale shakers*. Athena
shale-shaker screens come standard with:
• An epoxy powder coating for added strength
• Excellent chemical resistance and
temperature properties
• Technical support
• Screen storage
• Usage, installation, and repair support
* Refer to earlier list for shakers supported by Athena.
